When we arrived at the store, they tried to upsell us insurance, claiming it would cover any scratches. Considering the good road conditions, we decided not to buy it. At return, they said everything was fine, but later we received a damage report for a scratch that was already there when we picked up the car. We mentioned it to them at pickup, but they dismissively told us to just take photos ourselves. They did not inspect the car at return, and only later claimed there was a scratch. It seems that if previous renters had bought the insurance, those scratches would have been ignored, but if future renters don’t buy it, they end up being held responsible. The car rental company has no record of scratches and relies entirely on renters to document them. It’s essential to document any issues, but the car rental company's honesty and factual reporting are crucial.
