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

A bulge would not normally be considered wear and tear - it's damage. However, can you be sure it wasn't there before you hired the car? Did you hit a kerb?If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0

A bulge in the sidewall is down to tyre damage can only occur due to you hitting something. It can occassionally happen due to bad manufacture but that's extremely rare.0
