Re: URGENT: Who should she report to? Date: January 18, 2006 11:10PM |
Seems that the rental company must maintain insurance on its cars to cover vandalism. Insurance she purchased would cover errors in judgement she made that caused an accident while she was operating it, but she can't have any control over the actions of others, especially when she's away from the car. You might want to consult an attorney to see where her liability lies before admitting responsibility. Good luck!
Any chance of video monitoring of the lot, or witnesses to catch the miscreant? Was the RAV4 damage her fault? If not the insurance company should have covered the cost of the rental & insurance for it as a normal operating expense. Bummer.
I liked the big Einstein pic better.

The thing about this is.......
If you could keep track of it by the car's VIN, you could use CarFax to see if the car is insured and there is an additional payout.
I seriously doubt that Enterprise maintains "insurance" on their vehicles. They will have an umbrella policy of sorts, but this petty damage to the car is exactly why they offer you insurance. It is insurance that is paid to repair the car by THEM.
Being self-insured is nothing new.
When you think of the people who are killed driving an Enterprise rental, and Enterprise and its re-insuring agent are the ones who pay those damages. There is no "State Farm" per se', it comes out of Enterprise's pocket, just as employee benefits do.
I suggest you get her to park on an angle, but still within the yellow lines, next to some tall dump trucks, ANYWHERE, and hope that one of them makes the crease even worse.
That will take care of that problem.
Enterprise made it sufficiently clear to me that if I chose not to use their "service" that they would be billing USAA for damages. I took photos of the car at that point, just to be certain of who was right in assessing any potential damage upon return.
The pressure they used was incredible. But as you are now discovering, the $10/day or whatever it is, even for a week, is well worth it, because you never know when some dorkhead is going to ask you to bend over.
ps.... the situation to which G-Man so callously and remorselessly (enter shed tear rolling down cheek) is so insane it is actually worthy of a joke. Here sits an idiot idealist in the midst of an Israeli battleground, as they bulldoze houses with military dozers.
Now the family is suing Caterpiller USA for "knowing selling heavy equipment used in actions which endanger people" or other such nonsense. Next someone will be suing rail companies for having relatives who sit on train tracks scraped from the rails.
“International law clearly provides that corporations can be held accountable for violations of international human rights. Rachel Corrie, a young American killed abroad because Caterpillar purposefully turns a blind eye as to how their products are used, must have access to justice.”
This is not intended to make this a political thread.... it is just for informational purposes. Let's try to keep it useful and remaining on this side of the forum!

Did she charge the rental on a credit card that offers rental car insurance? Many do. If she charged the rental, which I'll bet she did since most rental agencies require a credit card for rental, have her call the credit card company right away and ask if she is covered.
