Never had a hire car interior checked. Ever.
Show me a hire company that checks the interior of a car upon delivery to the customer, and I'll show you a moon made from cheese.0 -

Budget T+Cs confirming interior not even covered by CDW

Its all good and well producing T&C. My point is, I have NEVER once had the inside of a car inspected, and this is for somewhere between 200-300 different rentals.
There is no point in me saying dont worry....as it will not make the slightest bit of difference. Also, it is not about being able to convince us, we are STATING what has happened to us on past experiences. Best of luck.
Probably best not to start a thread if you do not want peoples opinions and experiences as you seem to know it all already0 -
When I had my courtesy car last year, the only inspection was external when it was delivered. On collection there was no inspection whatsoever, only to my car?:happyhear We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.
If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.
