Those who have been traveling in the UK, especially our Malaysian students, may found that Europcar is no stranger to them. Europcar rents thousands of vehicles out a day so expects the occasional late return or damaged vehicle. But a recent survey of its branches revealed some of the strangest reasons for damage to cars or late returns.
1. A collision with a cow (Liverpool Branch)
2. A horse sat on the bonnet (Newcastle Branch)
3. A nasty accident with an ice cream (Derby Branch)
4. Pot bellied pig aids car thief (York Branch)
5. Keys go missing while driver has a snooze (Derby Branch)
6. Car is lost in multi-storey (Birmingham South Branch)
7. Helpful neighbour gives keys to dustman (Leicester Branch)
8. A lion took a dislike to the car (Newport Branch)
Catriona Lougher of Europcar comments; “Europcar staff are certainly kept on their toes by customers and there is never a dull day in the office with some of these stories. But staff are always professional and understanding no matter how bizarre the reason for damage or late return.”
