Default HIRE CAR RULES & REGULATIONS

Can anyone remember the rules for a hire car that were posted on here a while back??

It was stuff like the handbrake can only be used for turning round and that they dont need oil or water. Cltch must only be engaged for stopping and starting etc etc etc.

I ain't givin you any of my hire cars then!

We've been pretty lucky, haven't had a car trashed yet, (emphasise the YET! )

Mate of mine did a humpback bridge at 70 and totalled the suspension on a Punto, didn't pay a penny either

I had a brand new S reg Escort 1.6 as a courtesy car, done 15miles...

Went back 7 days later with 600miles on it, 2 bald tyres and a popped drive shafts Then they gave me a Mirca 1.0 That took 2 weeks of abuse and still worked fine
