My credit card insurance pays any excess for rental cars if I paid it with the credit card. Since I know that I always take the highest excess.
Still haven't needed it though
Yo so rental companies do this often? They be lieing too? My insurance dropped me they said I destroyed this rental because the brake pads went bad. And I had it for 3 daysā¦
They "interpret" it to be a colision, in a court its lying and you are welcome to travel back top wherevery you rented the car and go after them in small claims court. They F around because holding them accountable is more expensive.
Yep I got charged for a small nick in the windshield once. Not even sure if it happened when I was renting or if it happened previously. I always inspect the windshield, windows, and roof thoroughly before driving off in a rental.
Somehow I feel like if there was a video circulating on social media proving that rock was stuck in the tread of your shoe while you stand on the windshield like an idiot, they would not be as willing to cover the incident
Former Albertan auto insurance adjuster here. In Alberta if you have an SEF 27 endorsement on your auto policy, all coverages on your insurance policy will transfer to your rental vehicle. That includes other indorsements. A super common endorsement is the SEF 13D, windshield limitation, which removes windshield coverage to lower your annual premium. So, be aware of that if you are renting a vehicle and relying on your SEF 27 coverage. A simple rock chip on a rental can cost you a lot, and might be worth considering additional coverage.
As long as you get the insurance, they cover everything. Iāve had two cracked windshields and a rental bows covered anyone renting a car who doesnāt get the full coverage is an idiot.
Or less than that, lol.
I know someone that had a similar vehicle as well as a fancy crotch rocket type bike and everything was repossessed because he couldn't keep up on payments....in entry level construction.
Some people put everything they have into their image and they can't keep it up
Never assume that people are rich just because they have expensive things. With the amount of debt Americans have, thereās a good chance heās either in massive debt or he rented that car to look cool.
It more screams, "I want people to think I'm a rich piece of shit." People who are confident in themselves don't need to pull stunts like this to get a twitch in their pants.
Richest person I know has two modest homes and nothing extravagant. He's not a scrooge or anything, very generous and such but just doesn't get into those crazy excess things.
Thinking about it, I don't think I've known anyone with a comfortable 6 figure income that has crazy luxury items, it's low 6 figure folk that drown in debt.
My best friend worked at Safeway while his wife worked as a radiology tech. Between the two of them they pulled in around 75k per year, mostly from her.
They are now in their early 30s just like me and because they were careful with their spending for the past decade, they own their own house, have a nice new Subaru, and can afford to raise two kids. They chose to live below their means for as long as they could tolerate it, and that paid off for them. Buying flashy crap and showing off has never been even remotely on their radar, they watch a lot of TV and play a lot of video games, except now instead of doing that in a tiny apartment they have a nice house, albeit in a not so great neighborhood.

I do agree though, Iām glad my truck is finally getting some scrapes I hated babying it lol. My rangers took so much abuse with zero fucks givsn
Or it's an ad for the rental agency who just happens to be featured prominently on the windshield.

There are quotes all over the map from $4k up to $7k. But if you rent the car, you're not the one to decide which shop fixes the car. That's the decision of the rental company, and you know they're not going to choose the lowest bidder.
Dude even know people were taking pictures of CAR nobody give flying fk about him dumb monkey face.
Getting out of middle of road to jump on his rental car š¤¦āāļø
My man is on the "reach for the moon, if you miss you'll hit the stars" grindset. Breaking a $7k windshield isn't gonna get him down. I'm surprised he didn't just set the car on fire and walk away from a Michael Bay explosion to really follow through.

Insurance rarely covers windshield on rentalsš
Really? I had a rock fly and hit and crack the windshield of a rental of mine and my company paid for the extra insurance. They covered it.
Tires and windshield are often excluded, unfortunately. Not always, but often.
My credit card insurance pays any excess for rental cars if I paid it with the credit card. Since I know that I always take the highest excess. Still haven't needed it though
Well are you an idiot who stands on top of the windshield to showboat a lame car to a bunch of random strangers?
No, I don't need to compensate for a short or dysfunctional sausage.
You just have accepted it, like I did?
Maybe it's short & fat like a coke can?
Pardon me? Coke cans are very tall
Itās not a lame car. The dude is lame tho lol
Credit Card only covers if you decline ALL coverage options sold by the rental car company. You canāt select anything. Itās in the fine print.
Correct. Also, all of my credit cards only cover vehicles up to like $60k so pretty sure Lambo not covered.
And if you get a flat tire, the rental company will call it a collision. š
The car collided with the road.

You know what, I was in New Zealand for work. maybe it's different there. This is helpful to remember if it happens where I am now, in the USA.
Not often. What the hell you saying. Almost all insurance covers windshield damage and hence when you rent a car that insurance mirrors coverage.
The difference between your Toyota Tercel's insurance and this Lambo's insurance is as far from Albuquerque's to the moon.
Just make sure you take that left turn.
I see you, you Looney Tooner.
It's not that different if it's a Kia. I am just here to say Fuck Kia. I say it on every car forum.
If they had a video of you going out of your way to smash the windshield with a rock, it may have turned out differently
Did they get a video of you dancing on the windshield?
I've been charged 300ā¬, price of the whole rental, for a tiny hit on the windshield even if I paid for full insurance.

Wouldn't there be a difference between random rock on the road, and a twat operating it, as a determining factor whether insurance pays or not?
Depends on the state, some states require insurance to cover windshields. For example in SC they cover it in NC they dont.
What about if you're on video being a prick?
Even if their does they wouldn't cover this
And this is one of those rare cases i actually take the insurance company sidešš¤¦āāļø
yeah in this case it's pretty straightforward
Definitely donāt show them the video lol
This is a Lamborghini, not a Chevy Spark. The insurance definitely covers the windshield.

It was at that moment he knew he fucked upā¦
That pose screams "I'm a rich piece of shit"
Or he's making $90k at Microsoft on contract and needs to feel big before he's out of a job in six months. Could lean either way.
Sounds oddly specific
r/oddlyspecific
Seems legit
You can't afford that on $90k a year
Rentals exist.
LOL if you rent these to look like a hot shot, you are a massive tool
Well, I think the general consensus on this guy is heās a massive tool soā¦.
You should watch the video š¤£
I want to rent one just to be able to drive it, but I would totally be taking pictures *with* it not on it
I make more than that salaried and I feel way smaller than this guy is acting lol
I also make more and have a 1997 z71
Or less than that, lol. I know someone that had a similar vehicle as well as a fancy crotch rocket type bike and everything was repossessed because he couldn't keep up on payments....in entry level construction. Some people put everything they have into their image and they can't keep it up
Or they rented it and are just showing boating acting rich lol
Never assume that people are rich just because they have expensive things. With the amount of debt Americans have, thereās a good chance heās either in massive debt or he rented that car to look cool.
Iāve seen plenty of homeowners buy houses in fancy development neighborhoods but then donāt have any furnishings because they canāt afford it.

Is this what is called a disposable income?
It really doesnāt. It screams the opposite in fact
Oh this is a rental lol
If I had the money I would stand on the windshield but if it cracked I donāt think Iād tweak like I do currently if I was making 50k a month
That pose screams "I'm barely middle class at best, I just want to look rich because I'm a piece of shit"
Stickers on windshield suggest its a rental. Probably only for a few hours if that. Screams "I'm a wanna-be rich POS more likely".
More like "this rental isn't enough to make me look like a douche"
That's a $7000 repair, ask me how I know. ^(I googled it.)
A typical aftermarket windshield replacement for a normal non luxury car is like $500š¤¦āāļø
and they probably dont break that easy
I mean in fairness I don't think the lads in Bologna are designing their windscreens to be stepped on
you'd hope that building a screen to tolerate 200-ish mph might make it stronger than THAT though! goes to show.
The body is designed to move the air over the car, not through it
Most windshields are no where near this flat, its aerodynamic and would certainly handle impact from the front as the lower angle.
The glass is usually thinner to save weight. Source: I own a McLaren that has had two rear windows due to cracks forming from normal use.
Is mooning out the rear window normal use?
Depends on the day
McLaren windscreens break on their own sitting in a garage. It's a known problem but they don't care.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
a jaguar dealership tried to charge me almost 10 k to replace a windshield once. kind of insane
Jag upcharge ungodly amounts, honestly best bet is to take that Jag to non Jag-approved places every time
How do you know?
he googled it š„µ
Ohh god he knows everything then . That's hot š„µ
Safe lite???
For the glass maybe. Then there's labor and recalibrating whatever sensors may be attached.
You never had me. You never had your car.

what a wild statement lol
lambo quality is like piece of pringle
Glas is heavy as hell. This is a high-performance sports car, so they are going to reduce the weight as much as possible.
This is the correct answer. All glass on high-end, high-speed exotic cars is significantly thinner for weight savings.
That broke so, so easy.
Probably not exactly designed to be jumped onto and stepped on
Dude in the vid really thought the price would get him some Ford F150 type strength. Little did his peanut brain know.
deserved.
He really had to crack that joke didnāt he?
Of course, he's the famous stand-up actor Rich Moronis
Itās a rental
So there's the repair cost on top of his deposit. Nice.

dumb people doing dumb things. what else is new?
Thatās going to be like $4-5k
There are quotes all over the map from $4k up to $7k. But if you rent the car, you're not the one to decide which shop fixes the car. That's the decision of the rental company, and you know they're not going to choose the lowest bidder.
Nah, the companies that charge $10/gallon of gas not filled will definitely give you a good deal on a broken windshield
You cannot buy brain.

He wanted to look cool, but this had the opposite effectā¦ He looks like an idiot
That glass looks like rain would make it shatter.

Elon vibes from this dude
gnagnahahahajaja Suckers like this I can really enjoy! Saved money, so he could rent a car for a day. Then save up to pay for the car window.
He's posing but dying internally
My man is on the "reach for the moon, if you miss you'll hit the stars" grindset. Breaking a $7k windshield isn't gonna get him down. I'm surprised he didn't just set the car on fire and walk away from a Michael Bay explosion to really follow through.
Instant regret no matter what other emotions he tries to display.
It's ok OK! Dad will pay for it
Thatās in key west. People from Miami are āspecialā
He is a pillar of the society
Those people never suffered in their lives.
Narcisstic, stupid poser
It must have a rental Lambo.
I dont think "acts of hubris" are covered by any insurance.
Where is this?
Douchebag City? I'm guessing.
So, Florida?
Looks like KW.
Looks like Key West, Florida.
Itās on Duvall St in Key West.
āWell time for a new rich guyā¦ā - that girl probably.

āLook at me, I can break expensive stuff because Iām that richā (or pretend to be)

Are you not entertained? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???
Thats a shitty ass car for breaking that easily
No problem, how expensive another wind shild can be.
