Burst tyre cost €850!! Credit card debited months after hire
We burst a tyre on the motorway due to.some tying line that fell off a truck. When we looked for the spare tyre there was none. I had NO idea that was a possibility. In my 35 years of driving I have always understood a spare tyre was a necessary item. Biggest mistake was to call the roadside help given . The short ( we were in a city) tow by breakdown track was charged to us by the company at €600. The flat fee given by SBC is €340 + taxes in Slovenia for any tow and they wrongly said we were towed 150km instead of the fee. The money was unexpectedly taken from credit card over 2 months after car was returned. The Slovenia tow company had told us their charge for the short tow was €120 so a lot of profit for SBC. That's on top of the €250 charge for new tyre we paid for.
