Shandon Par Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Stopped for a McDonald’s breakfast the other day (any port in a storm etc). Had to wait a while so they chucked in three extra hash browns. I don’t even like them but ate them anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottMc77 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Got a hire car arranged through my insurance company from Enterprise. Had it 3 weeks and the clutch failed. Long story short it was towed away to garage, all blame pinned on me. My insurers told me not to worry and they'd deal with it. This week Enterprise helped themselves to over 3 grand from my account. Not sure whether I have any chance of ever seeing that again, but I'll be fighting for it back. I've asked bank to get the money back and written formal complaints to LV and Enterprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your insurers did indeed deal with it. What did you allegedly do to your clutch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnt it out and/or melted it. Allegedly due to my erratic driving. I did 1000 miles in the car, it had 12,500 on the clock when I got it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 1000 miles in the car, it had 12,500 on the clock when I got it. Hope you win this, it's outrageous, how are you supposed to check if the clutch is about to fail before driving off? Google tells me that Hertz calls clutch failure gross negligence on the part of the driver, seems arbitrary and grossly unfair to blame the driver who happens to be in the car when it finally fails, and there is no way they check the state of the clutch between hires. Only thing else you might do is get an independent mechanic to look at the clutch, maybe the insurance company could help with that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I burnt out the clutch in a van once. Living in Wales, my house was on a very steep hill. I was moving house and filled the van and it just would not move uphill. And, Wales being full of utter scum, some guy parked his car right behind the van so couldn't reverse downhill. So I went for power and burnt it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should message Joe Lycett. That’s just the sort of case he likes to pick up and batter in to the big company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I had a slight prang in an S Class Merc hire car once. Got a black felt tip pen and went over all the scratches etc and they never noticed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
