    Our last rental was a nightmare, we were in southern France. The pick-up was fine but after we'd used half a tank we decided it'd be a good time to look for some fuel. After 7 fuel stations in a row being empty I began to suspect something was a miss. We managed to find a McDonald's (for wifi since we didn't have any cellular data) and checked the news and sure enough, petrol deliverers were protesting their unfair wages. Good for them. We were running on fumes at this point. When we contacted the rental agency to explain the situation (obviously they were unaware since they didn't forwarn us!) they offered no compensation for this shortsightedness on their part. Their only consolation was constantly saying that "the situation was affecting everyone as well." Small consolation. We hired an Uber to take us to our lodgings, had to wait around two days, get taxi'd back to town to attempt to get our car. Luckily the station down the block was being filled up so we got in line with everyone else starving for fuel. The machine restricted my card to 50 liters but I had another card so was able to fill all the way up 😅. And that lovely little European car managed to stretch out that tank of gas for the rest of the trip! Moral of the story: you can always count on the French to strike 🥖🇫🇷

    This... hits. It's not unusual to be "upgraded" in Canada and the States to an entirely different class of vehicle (sedan to SUV is super-common). I've always wondered what kind of investment in oil companies car rental companies have. It's like they want you to spend more money on petrol, when really (besides the "bring it back with a full tank part") should be of no interest to them.

    this was so painful to watch...those memories. First time I landed in Heathrow, years ago, had booked some small car with Sixt, I only cared that it will be automatic. Actually getting to the rental place took an hour, because they told me to wait at the bus station, shuttle will pick me up. They didn't tell me there are 2 stations, one for public transport, one for shuttle buses, so I waited like a moron for an hour. Got there...classic, we are sorry, we are out of the cars in the category you selected... instead of 300 GBP for the 3 days, would you be interested in this oversized SUV for 750 GBP? It's the only automatic transmission car we have left here. Took an hour of haggling till they honored their reservations and gave me the car for the price of the one I booked. Had to call the booking agency to complain, luckily they called them immediately. I was standing in front of the guy the whole time, without flinching he just put out a fake smile, said "Certainly" to the person on the other end of the phone call, and just grabbed the keys. (and yes, I can drive manual, I drive manual for 25 years, but not in RHD car, my left hand is a moron.. I simply can't convince my left hand to change gears)

      I still think Sabine Schmitz would've won the "beat Clarkson's lap time but in a van" challenge if the van were left-hand drive - having brought an RHD van all the way from Britain for a German to drive in Germany was subtle for Top Gear cheating but surely not accidental.

    Honestly if insurance insurance was an actual thing where you could have a company deal with your insurance company for you and pay out if they failed that wouldn't be a bad idea

    Renting a car from LAX Airport is a bit like that , they spend half an hour trying to sell you stuff that sounds so essential , like they asked me where I was planning driving most my vacation and then offered me a " deal" on pre-paid tolls . Good thing I declined , there were no tolls where I went !

    Paid extra for renting a BMW "luxury" car via Expedia and was given a vanilla Hyundai instead. Took weeks of hard infighting with Expedia/Rental company to get compensated (both pointed to each other). ProTip: take screenshots of the reservation page and keep them handy.

    This is why I just steal mine, I return it vaguely to the same place I got it in either the same condition (excluding the natural wear and tear) or with a pedestrian-shaped dent or two. And if it's on its side, that's the rhino that was chasing me's fault

    That was actually a decent car rental experience, compared to gold car. Goldcar will add a bunch of random fees, some of which you’ve been lied to about being deposits. Force you to getting their insurance (forget that you’ve already booked one online through another insurance) or you pay over a 1100 + € deposit (said to be returned over 4 weeks after return if they chose to). Get their insurance it’s down to a 300€ deposit.
