Damage compensation scam, stay away
Terrible scam with car damages compensation. I rented a car during early June and 3 days after i redelivered, i got a notice for a scratch (less than 10 cm long) on the rear bumper, and an invoice for 6300 dkk (about 850 eur). So far i was quite willing to cooperate of course and take my share of responsibility.
I simply asked sixt (about 4-5 times through mail) to provide the appropriate times and days that i could send someone to evaluate the damage for my account so we can find common ground. I also asked several times their repair shop details which also were never provided. They kept referring to their view on the damage and after several mails they even escalated the scratch to a dent, still without providing their repair shop contact details. Two weeks later, and after several requests from my side to get their repair shop contacts as well as some time window to send someone to evaluate the damage for my account, i got a reply that the car was repaired, and they maintain their claim for 5000kr (which is the deductible)!!!
There are a few more juicy details in this story which for legal reasons i cannot disclose here, but it is a typical scam so please stay away, or get the full insurance with 0 deductible.
I have full evidence and supportive documents of what i'm writing here.
