What is the undercarriage? The chassis and all the suspension parts?
The exhaust sysem? Dents from below in the floor panels.
What sort of damage can one do to the undercarriage? Other than
busting a ball joint, they seem pretty reliable.
What does one have to do to do that damage to the undercarriage?
And how hard do rental companies check whether there is undercarriage
damage? If it's not creaking when you drive in and not crawling
sideways, are you okay, or do they actually look underneath?


In most cases your own car insurance should cover damage to a rental car
if you have collision coverage.


Be sure to read all the fine print !
My car insurance only covers rental cars in Canada & USA.
Even the premium credit card coverage has limitations -
example Ireland is excluded as are a few other countries.
