That day in Vienna it was raining a bit and I was driving the nine seat car I booked on QEEQ. It was a Mercedes Vito and it felt really big and nice. I even told my friend this trip to Austria felt like an upgrade. Later I was backing up at a narrow corner and the car hit something. There was a long scratch on the side. I got scared right away and I thought the rental company would charge me a lot of money. On the return day around May 18 at noon I went to the Avis counter. The staff checked the car and then showed me some papers with several different charges. When I paid with my credit card I only saw a long number on the screen. When I changed it to my own currency in my head it felt really high. I remembered I had added AXA Full Coverage when I booked. At that time I just thought one more insurance was safer and I did not expect I would really need it. After I went back to my place I contacted their customer service and told them about the scratch and the few charges on my card. They asked me to send photos of my passport and the charge slips and so on. When I filled in my bank info it kept showing error and I felt a bit annoyed. But I did not want to just lose this money so I tried again and checked every number. After a while they reached out and asked me to confirm the total of all the charges. I added them up and told them the amount from my credit card and I also confirmed I wanted to get paid in euros. During those days I kept checking my card bill and looking at those tens of thousands of INR. It was a lot of pressure and I was afraid I would only get a small part back. Then they told me the claim was approved and the amount matched what the rental company took. I felt so much lighter in that moment. I thought this accident would ruin my Vienna trip but the car damage was all covered by AXA Full Coverage so it turned into just a scare and a lesson for me.
