So my wife reversed the hire car into a wall....

She says it was because the car doesn't have parking sensors ffs! So we have a typically large excess , do I mtfu or ignore it & hope for the best? Any good ideas greatly appreciated!

+1 Chips Away or similar should be able to do it for less than your excess

Maybe leave it until the last day just in case she does it again Whistle

Try fine sand paper to smooth it out, or if you are luck a take off bumper on the Bay? l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Last year I put a very small scratch in the back bumper of an Audi A6 from Hertz in Paris, they hit me with a bill of over €1000 for repairs and 'loss of use', even though I am a Gold President Circle member and had taken the excess cover!
After a lot of emails I got them down to €200.

So good luck!
