What should I do if I have problems with my car? Do you offer roadside assistance?
Before you start driving, take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the vehicle’s equipment and operation, including heat and A/C, Radio, Lights, Windshield Wipers, Spare Tire, Seat Belts and Door Locks, and Gas Tank access. Getting distracted trying to figure out those things while driving can be dangerous. Don’t wait until the fuel warning light goes on to think about buying Gas, especially if you don’t know how far is between Gas Stations. In case if you have any problems with our rental car, you may contact our sales department. If there are minor issues that can be fixed on the spot, we will send our operations team for assistance. If, in the unlikely event that your car malfunctions, contact our sales department for assistance or car replacement. Do not leave your vehicle. Wait in the car for service or police to arrive.
What should I do if I’m involved in an accident or the car is damaged during my rental?
If you have an accident, do not leave the accident scene. Contact the police. If no one was hurt and vehicle damage is minor, drivers should move their vehicles to the side of the road to avoid blocking traffic. Otherwise, the vehicles should not be moved. Could you obtain the report from the police and submit it to Portofino Luxury Car Rental.
