Damage, theft, traffic accidents, and breakdowns are always considered possible scenarios, no matter how conscientious the driver is or how impeccable the technical condition of the rented car might be.
In the paragraphs below, you will learn everything you need to know about properly reacting to potential problems with your rented car on the road.

The team of Yes rent a car asks their customers to check-in within twelve hours after the accident and provide the full record of circumstances and details in a transparent, straightforward, and responsible manner.
