fizzbitt Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 WTF! So did you have to pay an excess for the damage to the cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've seen the videos and the pics from the other trips and the proximity to big drops worries me. I've said I can't make it as it is in the week and got the kids to sort out but in reality, I'm too scared to go. There. I've said it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 WTF! So did you have to pay an excess for the damage to the cars? Fizz you're being far too practical about this. Pay the full waiver and f*ck what happens to the rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Oh it was an accident - Tipex didn't see the f*cking great big rock sticking out into the road. s he half ripped off the alloy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I'm too scared to go. Poof. ETA - Stelvio was good, but the Mortirolo pass was the pant-cacking one, see around 8 minutes on the video I posted. No run off, no kerb, and just clouds below you.

Tipex Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Oh it was an accident - Tipex didn't see the f*cking great big rock sticking out into the road. s he half ripped off the alloy Some artistic license used as well, yes I jumped the little 500 a couple of feet in the air, yes I fecked 2 alloys, and probably a lot of suspension, but all the panel damage was present when I picked it up from Avertz!

theduisbergkid Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The car with the damaged panel shown on the video was (IIRC) Mankee's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The car with the damaged panel shown on the video was (IIRC) Mankee's car. Nope, that was my car. All the bodywork damage was present when I picked it up, all the mechanical damage, Inc wheels and tyres, was all my own work. At least the Corsa I had in Scotland went back in pretty much the same condition as when I picked it up, apart from the cracked windscreen, and the footprint dent in the bonnet.

Tipex Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 And don't get all precious over your hire car, it may get bumped into, walked over, crashed, vandalised etc, just make sure you have the super mega no excess cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already booked with full cover... looks like i may just need it.. lol... So essentially i can hand it back looking like ive ran it in a destruction derby and they have to just accept it without charging me anything extra? If so it it an open invite to trash a hire car? And Audi-Chick - Trust me the banter has already started in the emails going around between us! Bunch of bloody homo's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigPorsche Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I don't agree on handing back all battered as someone somewhere would have to pay costs etc Handing the keys back and saying it's in a field, a river or you can't remember where it is would be acceptable!!
