Stomper: 'This bill is just too absurd to believe.'

A GetGo car user was shocked to receive a bill for $4,636.80 after a"small accident" with a Mercedes-Benz in the Novena Square 2 carpark."Around 2pm, I was driving out from the parking lot. I turned left too soon and grazed a white Mercedes next to me," recounted the Stomper, who shared photos of the damage to the two vehicles.

"The next day, the owner of the white Mercedes told me the workshop quoted him $150 for the repairs. To compensate him, I proposed to pay him $288 in total. He agreed and we settled it privately. "The cost was just a few times higher than if you had gone to a workshop to repair it yourself," said the Stomper"I returned the car around 4pm on Feb 16. Out of curiosity, I logged into the app and found the car available for rent on Feb 18. How was the three days of loss of use calculated?" asked the Stomper."I settled privately with the other party.

"However, we do provide the option for Mutual Settlement in minor accidents where both parties explicitly agree that they will not be claiming against each other’s insurance.

Learn from your mistakes. You drive like a pig. You damaged property. None of which belong to you. Loser

When you settled privately with someone at $288, that's because you're dealing with a Human. When you're settled officially at $4660.80, that's simply because you're not dealing with fellow Human, you're dealing with Blood sucking Monster.🤬

3rd claim is crazy shit always! Buy insurance always
