Renting a Car
Although I am Lebanese people here in Lebanon when they hear you are coming from Kuwait they think you are fully loaded. It doesn’t matter if you are Lebanese, Kuwaiti or whatever, if you are coming from the Gulf then you have money to spend.
I was supposed to rent a Peugeot 307 from this local rental place here in Lebanon for like $40 a day. So yesterday at 9PM we call the guy to confirm and he is like yeah don’t worry when you come here if we don’t have the 307 you will have a whole range of cars to choose from. i was like cool. So I am now in Lebanon, I call the guy and guess what? He only has a BMW X5 available for $150 a day. Yeah right fucker I am going to rent an X5 from you instead of a Peugeot. Whatever. At least if you are going to rip me off do it gently. Go up 1 level to like $60. Tell me sorry we don’t have a Peugeot but for just $20 more you can get a BMW 1-series. Maybe then I would have considered it but don’t triple my budget up to an X5!
We made a few calls and I just scored a 2007 Renault Megane for $45 a day. Hopefully its the hatchback version and in black.
Yeah, you are so right. People over there are always ripping you off if they think you are from the gulf. Same goes to Egypt.
hahahhaha
ehh hawwé mosriyétak ya marco, hawwiyon w khod range rover sport.
so true.
Man.. it happens when there is no regulation or anything to follow! Kuwait is relatively cheap compared to other places!
Mark,so when people come back to the Gulf from Lebanon we will assume they are low on cash,,,and give them a real good deal.Enjoy the vacation .If I were U I would not even bother to drive,,,,that is the real break U want from Q8
How did the car rental guy know you were coming from Kuwait? You could’ve just told him you needed a car without mentioning where you came from.
lol! someone is a lil high on his sarcasm potions ;)
I am happy those shit bag car rental agencies have a hard time. when Lebanon was good and peaceful they wouldn’t rent you a car if its not for 2 weeks or more and the x5 was going for 300$ per day min.
that is so bad it’s actually funny
this rental guy is a moron
