Did enterprise notice this chip before they drove it away from the garage or after they had driven it away? |

the fact they expected you to inspect the car, when it was wet, covered in water and most likely a rain drop obscuring the chip, I would kick off about

Don't know. They said to me the garage didn't even move the car which suggests they noticed it before driving away and had a word with the garage. However, I don't believe the garage could have left the car overnight at the spot where I parked it. At the same time I don't think the garage could be at fault - they would have just moved it from parking spot to another at most. The chip was either on the car already or it did happen while in my possession although I honestly don't see how and when ![]() |

Just tell them you are not accepting blame because the conditions in which you collected the car in was far from ideal due to it being dark and that it was raining cats & dogs and it would have been impossible to see any windscreen damage. Then tell them, most stone chips are repaired free by insurance companies. |

Spoke to the head office and then their Damage Recovery Unit. Doesn't look like it will be an easy one I'm afraid |

They already have my £50 deposit, asking for £200 more to cover the full access. They did say they will refund excess minus repair cost but somehow I don't think it would be £25 or anywhere close to that |

That's a terrible story. I hire vans from time to time and must admit I never take anywhere near enough notice when I'm checking them over. I will next time! |
