    You may well only see the hire company employee confirming the mileage and giving the car the quick once over for car park dinks when you collect it, but I can assure you that the interior of a hire vehicle is covered by the rental agreement and damage over and above normal wear and tear can be charged for if noted when the vehicle is returned. :)

    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.

    Sounds like a challenge to me.

    As I don't feel I will be able to convince either of you otherwise, I won't bother with more than a couple of quick links which confirm that which I have stated. :)

    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 already

    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?
