Moral of the story: Do not get into an accident – especially if you are driving a rental car. A GetGo car user was shocked to get a $5,589.79 bill after an accident with a motorcycle. Stomp Christopher had rented the car on June 28 last...
The Stomper shared a copy of the GetGo invoice, which showed an additional $448.60 charge for"loss of use"."Weeks later, I asked her for her repair bill, which totalled RM440 , which doesn't even come close to the $3,000 that GetGo quoted.
"They then sent me a form to allow for a mutual third-party waiver. I declined to sign it as it would mean I agreed to GetGo's conditions and admitted I am at fault."But for me, I received calls from debt collectors that GetGo had set on me."There seems to be no protection for renters against these rental companies. Renting from them would be akin to signing away all rights."This is the third such case Stomp has reported this year.
In response to a Stomp query about the February incident, GetGo said then:"GetGo ensures that our accident and insurance policies are clear and fair for our users. All charges payable by our users in the event of an accident are outlined in our terms and conditions, and FAQs... "However, we do provide the option for Mutual Settlement in minor accidents where both parties explicitly agree that they will not be claiming against each other’s insurance.
