Mechanical Repairs
I rented a vehicle which I drove to Johannesburg the next day, where the clutch failed.  I drove the vehicle so I know for a fact that it was not in any way abused.  The breakdown occurred near Carnival City near Heldelburg.  I reported the breakdown around 13H00, but a mechanic only arrived around 18H00 - 5 hours on the roadside.  I was given a lift to OR Tambo, and after another 1.5 hours, was given a replacement vehicle.  When the rentail invoice arrived, I was shocked to see that Woodfords billed me for the repair.  With hundreds of people driving the vehicle, I use the vehicle for one day, and somehow I am responsible for the clutch.  I would understand paying an excess for an accident, but mechanical repairs is another issue.  Woodfords should be responsible for maintaining the vehicle in good conditions, so that a client does not have to suffer the inconvenience and risk of a breakdown in the middle of nowhere.  To make matters worse, Woodfords just debited my Diners Club account without discussion of authorisation, fraudulently.  To anyone reading this, watch out for Woodfords.  This does look underhanded.  Hopefully Diners Club could assist to get my money back - R8000.
