Car Next Door

And for interest’s sake, attached is the photo of the same side of the vehicle when I collected it.

The damage in the before and after photos look identical to me.

The number plate appears to be NSW. If so, is it legal to have a P.O.S. like this registered in NSW?

I was lead to believe that vehicles must be presentable as well as roadworthy to get the annual pink slip for each years registration.

Perhaps this bomb should be reported to RMS.

It might be legal in accordance with their contact. It stinks and is ruining a great business opportunity. It’s also possible CND owners working the system this way are taking advantage of the tax system. The failure of CND to credit any savings between the actual cost of repair and amount billed may be legally challengeable by the ACCC?
@BrendanMays Choice might like to consider this further, as an unfair contract term/condition?

The ACCC actually did something regarding the Australian 4WD Hire scams.

Australian 4WD Hire

They actually have. https://www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judgments/fca/single/2021/2021fca0347 Check out the penalties for the 31 “Instances of unconscionable conduct and penalties” in Appendix B at the bottom of the judgment. “Go to jail, go directly to jail. do not pass GO, do not collect $200”?

I’ll note this months RACQ has a 2 page spread to the alternate car hire business models featuring Car Next Door in a positive light. It’s extremely disappointing, but typical of their lower standards when compared to Choice.
