Legal question. Rental Car Company.

[Kettle]

Long story short I hit a rental car. The damages were minimal, and my insurance took care of them. What they didn't take care of though were some fees that the rental company is now asking me to pay out of pocket. Administration, loss of use, and loss of value total up to ~$420. The insurance company does not pay these things because there is no quantifiable proof behind them.

If I don't pay, what sort of action or consequence can I expect? The rental representative has not returned my call.

[Darth Biscuit]

Never heard of that... I would tell them to fug off. See what happens.

[Kettle]

I said that in a nice way on the voice mail I left. I told them it seemed like they were just trying to squeeze some extra cash out of me. I'm hoping they'll leave me alone now that I have called, but I don't expect them to.

Everything I see online in regards to this is for when you rent a car from a rental company, not when you're at fault in an accident. I don't see that they have much to stand on in this case, because you're not the one who signed the rental contract.... but I would ask someone else, and if they don't contact you about it fug 'em. Only issue is if they turn it over to collections... but I really don't see how they can.

Fug them what can they do? You didn't rent the car nor do they have anything with you social so they can't ding your credit.

They are not going to get a lawyer over 420 bucks of frivolous charges. Do us all a favor and tell its what shitttyass company it is so we can avoid using them.

This actually happened to me as well. As someone mentioned above they have to prove damages to sue. There is no way they can prove loss of use damages so they will not sue. Contact your insurance agent as well just to see what they say.

I contacted my insurance before calling the rental company and they could offer no advice as it is not their specialty. Enterprise is the company.

They will not sue u over $420 when lawyers charge $500-$700 in hour. Makes no sense. I wouldn't worry about it.

[Guest]

I hate Enterprise. Douchebags.

[sunbunny]

I worked in rentals, but not with enterprise. I don't remember us ever asking for money for loss of value, etc. Just made a call to someone who worked in rentals longer than me, and he said it's bullshit.

[Kettle]

Thanks bunny

My first instinct would be to make my insurance company deal with it. That is why you pay them every month. I'm not saying they should pay it they should just handle it for you.

[Kettle]

We are past that point. These fees were asked for as part of the settlement, and the insurance company wouldn't pay them. Enterprise then sent a letter to me asking that I pay them.

[Chaos]

I would just write the check, no sense in jeopardizing your credit.

Just kidding - mail them a picture of your dick.
