Wheel see if you can guess how much a rental car company — whose facility is located in Bergen — wants to charge for a scratch found on the spoke of a wheel rim of the Volvo automobile which FlyerTalk member lingkiin returned.
How Much Does This Scratch on the Wheel of This Rental Car Cost?
“I don’t even know if the scratch was done by me” is what lingkiin posted — probably while scratching his or her head. “I rented a short 2 days car from Sixt. I checked the car before I took the car and after I returned the car. I don’t really notice anything…Please refer to the attached photo.”
The photograph is located at the top of this article — along with an enlargement.
Summary
I could not initially find out how much an authentic factory wheel rim similar to the one in the photograph costs; but the most expensive original equipment manufactured aftermarket wheel rim in the United States costs only slightly more than half of what the rental car facility is charging lingkiin — but then again, the cost of goods in Norway are typically more expensive than in the United States; so the price might possibly be legitimate…
…although I doubt it. I will axle you this question: perhaps the rental car company is attempting to include loss of use of the vehicle in its estimation?
The cost for the scratch on the wheel rim is revealed below, if you are not too tired — or, more accurately, four tired — to see it; but in the meantime, reading this article pertaining to 13 tips on what you can do to prevent from being scammed by a rental car company might not be a bad idea before renting your next vehicle.
