Stuck in L.A.
Hi,
it might be a bit strange to post a thing like this here, but maybe someone can help. My Dad is on a business trip to the States (he is building exhibit booths) and his car (wich he has been provided with by a friend) has broken down entirely (defektive motor) in Los Angeles and Ford says it won�´t be repaired until two weeks. You might say no problem - rent a new one and ride - but someone told him that it is impossible to rent a car like that in the whole country! The issue is the trailer coupling which has to be a special "heavy duty" model with a bigger than standard ball on it (there must be 2" and 2 5/16" couplings) and that the car goes from L.A. to Florida. Now every car rental office says that the problem is the insurance or so. I�´m completely uninformed about legal restriction in the USA but "USA" and "impossible" don�´t quite fit to my vocabulary. Has anyone got an idea how to get hands on a car like that - really quick? An Adress or any hint would help. Regards, Christoph. |
