Long and short of my situation: - Car needed for light mid-week usage and moderate weekend usage - probably 100 motorway miles a month on average, and certainly sub 10k…

Car hire damage issue
I had to hire a rental car yesterday as a flight was cancelled. We took the car back today and the agent said one of the tyres were bulging and that we had to pay £100 as the car was damaged. I have tried to argue this is due to wear and tear not us damaging it. Any ideas welcome as to whether this is reasonable? Thanks

Because I drive low miles (less than 6k per year) the MPG and cost of fuel does not have much bearing on use. I have seen a Mondeo estate, 2004 on a 1.8 Sci Ghia…
