How car rental firms gouge customers for minor damages

How car rental firms gouge customers for minor damages That was the headline in an article in "The Irish Independent" on Saturday January 12 - 19.
The article by Amy Molloy was highlighting the problems of some customers of car hire companies in Ireland. The paper had reported on this subject previously, however no names of offending car hire companies were quoted. It was purely customers who had been charged amounts like €700 for scuff marks and another €1,205 for a dent in a drivers door.

The article went on to highlight how quite often multiple customers are charged for the same damage on a vehicle.

Paul Redmond, the chief executive of the Car Rental Council of Ireland said "customers were advised to inspect the car and agree details of any other defects".   

At the insurance4carrental website for years we have had advise on line for hiring a vehicle - Visit the page here

Today nearly everyone hiring a vehicle will have a mobile phone with a camera. Even if it is a dark wet night spend a couple of minutes checking that vehicle and take photos of any signs of damage before you drive away. If a member of staff is about have your comments noted on the hire agreement.

insurance4carhire products now being marketed at jml Insurance websites once again

jml insurance / insurance4carrental are delighted to announce that once again insurance4carhire car hire excess waiver insurance products are being promoted on their sites.

Back in 2004 jml Property Services started to promote insurance4carhire car hire excess products becoming an early affiliate of founder Larry Ursich. Up until October 2017 over £190,827 income was generated for the company behind insurance4carhire.

Then in 2017 new underwriters were appointed and the affiliate system ended for jml Property Services.

In early December 2018 a letter was received advising that jml Property Services had worked with them in the past (some 13 years in fact) and invited them to apply under the affiliate agency they now used.

Just before Christmas insurance4carhire banners and links went back to the insurance4carrental site and feeder links at jml-insurance.co.uk, euro-rentals.com and cotedazurrental.com.
