Windscreen crack on SIXT rental

Hi all,

Whilst in France I hired a vehicle from SIXT (merc B-Class).

Stone on the motorway flew up and hit the windscreen and crack it.

I declined all additional insurances. Now I have a €570 bill for it.

Am I over a barrel?

Any experience or advise welcomed.

Thanks
Chris :)

    Yes. If this happens again you would be advised to get the windscreen repaired yourself. Also, some CDW policies exclude certain types of damage (e.g. wheels) so always check.
