Hallo,
hier taucht neuerdings auf, daß Alamo versucht, einen "roadside service plan" oder "Roadside Assistance" o.ä gegen Aufpreis zu verkaufen. Ich habe mal versucht, rauszubekommen, was sich dahinter verbirgt, und folgendes gefunden (
Quelle):
KEY REPLACEMENT Lost keys? No worries, we will send replacement keys or a locksmith.
GLASS REPLACEMENT If the glass is damaged through no fault of your own, we will replace the glass.
FLAT TIRE If the vehicle's spare tire is inflated and serviceable, it will be installed to replace a flat tire. If no inflated spare is available, the vehicle will be towed in accordance with the towing provision.
TIRE REPLACEMENT If the vehicle's tire is damaged, the tire will be repaired or replaced at no additional charge.
TOWING Towing charges will be covered at no additional cost should the vehicle be inoperable.
JUMP START A battery boost will be provided in an attempt to start the vehicle.
LOCKOUT SERVICE If the keys are locked inside the vehicle, service will be sent to gain entrance.
FUEL DELIVERY* A limited supply of gasoline will be delivered to the vehicle to enable you to reach the nearest open service station.
*Up to three gallons or equivalent liters.
Available at all locations in the 50 United States and Canada. Roadside Assistance Plan is void and of no effect if, at the time of the incident necessitating roadside assistance, You (or any Authorized Driver) were in violation of the rental agreement, including, without limitation, the Prohibited Uses and Violations set forth therein. In such cases, roadside assistance will be available, but standard charges may apply.
Mir scheint, daß hier einige Leistungen (nicht alle), die normalerweise vom Vermieter ohnehin zu erbringen wären, auf den Kunden abgewälzt werden sollen.
