    Re: Car Rental pick up in Negril?

    If we rented from someone new, we snapped photos of visible damage...did that a few times never needed it, until we checked back in with a different person once, who claimed that a "scratch and dent" was my problem
    ........was gonna cost 350.00 US!......or he was calling the cops.
    ..we said "fine!..... call them"
    ..........He Did........"One picture, worth 1000 words" or in this case..($350.00US)
    we were dismissed from the scene...
    they continued the meeting with him longer...
    next year he gone!

    I too use my camera to take a quick video of my rental car when I get it - I just film while the rental guy is doing his walk-around and marking the rental form with pre-existing scratches/dents and showing me the spare and tools. Then I film the interior showing radio, floor mats, etc. That way there is no doubt the video was taken at rental time.

    Then I take a video at return, time, too. Just a quick one if someone does inspection while I am there - a more extensive one if not. Some of them try to come after you, financially, days later claiming there was damage.

    I learned this from a Consumer Warrior radio advice talk-show years ago.
    And it has saved me a couple times...in the USA! So noone should think this is something that happens just in JA.

    Thanks for all the responses. I ended up going with Island. Even though they had the delivery fee for bringing the car from Mobay it ended up cheaper than doing Vernon's. And their deposit was only $250. In the states I use my credit cards instead of the buying the CDW and even though I had a World Master Card that would have covered the minimum in JA, I went with the $30/day for the complete coverage. I was only renting for 2 days so it wasn't much extra and it came in handy, because it covers tires/rims which the basic did not, and I hit a pretty decent size pot hole in Mandeville that put a few dents in the hubcap. Oops!
