Former Enterprise employee checking in: him tearing apart a rental to do this and put it back together and have the Rental counter clerk not notice is 1000000% possible. These cars are checked in so fast that if you are not a car enthusiast (like myself) and not conditioned to check EVERY little nick and scratch, they never would've known anything unorthodox had occured with the vehicle. Not to mention, these cars are beat to shit for 40k miles and then sold to Gen Pop. Not saying I believe the guy with no gps tracking or video, but him getting away with what he did to a rental? 1000% believable.

@goofballbiscuits3647 3 года назад

@@jonasvalero4940 This is such a wives tale. Your personal insurance policy covers your liability of what you hit but not what you hit it with. Your full coverage of your personal vehicle doesn't even roll over to the other cars you own... let alone a rental. Sure, you're covered to your limits for liability of what you damage but you're responsible for the rental (and anything above your limits). I can promise you this having been licensed in property and casualty insurance. Get the insurance from the rental company every time.

@goofballbiscuits3647 3 года назад

@@jonasvalero4940 Cool story. Some companies do. But, for every one of those, there are myriad others who aren't so fortunate. It probably wasn't worth the litigation fees for them after a cost benefit analysis. If you're with a big box brand, there may have been an agreement between those particular entities as well. Consider this: why would you ever get full coverage on multiple vehicles that you _do_ own if you were magically covered for every car you drive. Liability coverage follows you, full coverage doesn't. Rentals are not as cut and dry as you're making them out to be. Everyone should verify with their agent what is covered with rentals before making a gamble like that. Quit pretending you know an industry because you were a customer once that got lucky and didn't get banged by an indemnity or rental company. Most people do... and dry as ya mama while they do too.

I mean, if you set it up correctly, it absolutely is possible to run cameras the whole 25 hours without having to monitor them. If you went into without a camera, then surely it doesn't matter much if something goes wrong and stops recording with a camera. Don't have to worry about monitoring it then. Better to at least TRY than not try at all.

Its surprising that he didnt have any trouble with the rental company.

@PilotJetProductions 4 года назад

lxlPhantomlxl I worked for a rental car company (a big one) a few years ago and this was absolutely not the case. The people running the place were not car people, actually far from it. They didn’t care where the car had been or what it had done. You might possibly be thinking of an exotic rental car company, they take more serious measures (via GPS and G meters) to make sure their cars aren’t being used on a track. Just from your average airport rental company however, they don’t care one bit what you do with the car as long as it doesn’t return with significant damage

@Salvaba 4 года назад

@vinwiki @edbolian could we get a video on this? These are some fair points and could make for an interesting story

@PilotJetProductions 4 года назад

lxlPhantomlxl on top of that, I once drove a Dodge Charger that had an alignment issue from one store to another because they had somebody who wanted to rent it. As I got to my destination I informed the manager that the car would need to be aligned. They brought it to the local chain alignment shop and informed the manager that the car had a bent subframe from somebody “most likely jumping it”. They just said “oh well” and moved on. You could get away with murder on those rentals as long as it looked pretty clean when you returned it

@lxlphantomlxl3600 4 года назад

@@PilotJetProductions Hm, that's interesting. Maybe it just depends on the rental company. I only mentioned it because I know someone who works for a smaller family owned rental company and they track their cars. I don't know if it's because of prior issues with theft or to simply protect their assets. I guess larger companies have so much money they dont really worry about a car being stolen or anything like that. Plus they probably have really good insurence that will just pay for them to get a new one. I could be wrong but who knows. Either way the idea of doing this with a rental car is just insane to me. Not just using a rental car to drive high speeds coast to coast but at the same time stripping the insides and adding extra tanks? I'm sure if the company sees this video they would be like WTF?
