Yes I do not normally do this, one is always sligh...
Yes I do not normally do this, one is always slightly better than the other, but what we have experienced here is almost impossible to describe. My mother died last summer and her house in Wallonia had to be emptied. I rent a van there, without straps or other fastening methods, no none of that. Well the car is loaded over there and I have to close the driveway, so I pull the handbrake up to the Max because it slopes there and jump out of the car. At the same time that I get out, the car drives forward, hitting a post and using the handbrake. Now there was very light damage, a superficial small crack on the headlight and bumper, with all other dents noticing. Since it was 3am in the morning and their parking is full of cars that are there from some jumping tent and fighting all night, they come to sell drunken talk and you can search there for at least 45 min to find a parking space . When you finally have to park it with another company, they also complain about it. I put a letter to the papers explaining it and the result was a bill on top of my warranty that wasn't wrong either. The handbrake has clearly failed, I am also mechanic so I don't just say something. I don't feel like fraudulent situations either, so I kept to the facts and the regulations. I even went to the police before here in Merksem to have a PV drawn up, but the officer said that it was not necessary, because they are insured for such matters, but I will lose my guarantee. I have no decent words to describe this type of practice. Then they will laugh at you even if you say that you have to go to the police court, now I understand why they laughed, but I will not go into that here. My advice, my technical advice is: "NEVER RENT AT THE ROECK, if it ended well you have been lucky or a casual car that is ok. This company is straightforward just dangerous, not only for others but it could also be your life devastating, if that thing makes movements that it is not allowed to make, it can become a very expensive joke for you, very expensive indeed, so if you cannot be sure that what they are pushing in your hands is actually technically completely in order pay a little more somewhere else, but at least their service is fine and their fleet is maintained as it MUST be and the ROECK does not.Your safety is clearly not their top priority.
