re: Rental car damage question

So what would have happened if the OP was to have been stopped by the police in said rental truck? Sorry officer this is a rental and I don't carry any valid insurance. Rental or not he was still driving an automobile without any type of insurance. You fricked

Yep. Subtract 5k from it.

If you get a bill for 5k, sucks to be you. The rental company's costs are around 400$ to shop each door, and they will probably take a 500$ hit when it goes to auction. Add in 10 days for it to get through the shop, my best guess is that their true cost will be around 2300$. No idea what they will charge you though.

Edit - looking at the pictures again, I was wrong. The rocker panels are fricked up, the doors are misaligned, and you might have damage on the subframe and/or inner rocker depending on what you hit. It won't be cheap.

I know of someone who recently backed into someone else's door. One door, $2,000.00. I added 1K to the 4k (2 doors in this case) cause they'll frick him, cause they can.

Cancel your credit card immediately. Don't give Alamo ANY pay information. Ignore all contact from them. Those motherfrickers have insurance in their vehicles. Let them cover it. Don't respond until you get a summons from a sheriff.

OP please don't do this. Granted, you're an idiot for not having insurance and driving, but this would be just amazingly dumb.
