k1racon You don’t have a male or female brain

Doesn't surprise me.

But that does not mean that there is no natural sex difference, and that those are imposed by society.

k1racon The absurdity of renting a car will no longer be tolerated

Always rent a car expecting an attempted to be ripped off.

Know their rules and be nice. I've had surprisingly good experiences with a company with bad rep.

Once i rented a car for 3 weeks for 0.73cents a day in low season. A fiat panda in south west europe. Im local there so it helped.

Always make a chitchat with the person in the counter, get their name and ask them how i can avoid any issues. They are surprisingly nice and i can always name drop their name to the final inspector so they think i know them. ... Or just buy their insurance.

Havent rented since covid thought.
