Rented a few cars over the time and always take a video around the car and photos of key area.
The last car I rented was in the Uk (one way drop off)... Picked up the car, in the wet (it had been raining all night and morning.
Dropped the car off about 4 hours later... in the dry..
Upon inspection the rental staff claimed damaged to the tyre wall, there as a slightly visible scuff mark, as if I'd scraped it along a kerb - they wanted £130 for the tyre.
This was utter rubbish, I'd driven from point A to B... The only difference was, I was returning a dry car.
I refused to sign... but took photos of the document and and wheel.... then complained to the offices I've hired the car from.
The response... "Thats pathetic - the person at the drop off point had no idea what they were doing - don't worry about it, we'll wipe the charge".... and that was that..
... But it showed how 'some unscrupulous companies, or complete Jobsworths can pick up on the smallest and most pathetic of things and they can prove costly...
