Over the weekend, a tourist reversed into my car and broke the tail light. I never would have noticed but they waited for me and gave me their information, driver’s license and Rental Car info. I didn’t call the police I didn’t file accident report and I expected that the repair would have to come out of my pocket because I didn’t have a police report.
Yesterday I called the rental car place and took the papers to the rental car place. They told me “no problem” , took a picture of my broken tail light, and told me to get a quote.
I went to the parts store, the part was in stock, I got the quote, took it back to the rental car place, they wrote me a check.
I took the check to the parts store and got the part. I swapped it myself last night and I was surprised at the lack of hassle.
When I took the check to the parts department the person there said “I don’t know if we can take that check” , he made a phone call, they didn’t answer, so he took the check.
it was a not unpleasant experience, and I was pleasantly surprised.
have a great day!
