Forget Snakes In Planes; They're In Our Rental Cars Now
We’ve all received rental cars that had a less than stellar appearance, especially when it comes to the car’s interior. Besides the many lovely odors, stains are the rule rather than the exception. Above all, our favorite is when former drivers have decided to install some type of foodstuff into the upholstery. Thankfully, despite all our rental car troubles, we’ve never received a car with a living critter inside. However, that’s exactly what a Florida woman found when she rented a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
Last week a college student hopped into her rental ride, and immediately hopped right back out. There was a red rat snake just hanging out on the dashboard of the car, and at over a yard in length, it was not a welcome surprise. Luckily, the snake wasn’t poisonous, and the rental car company sent out an animal trapper to capture the stowaway.
Enterprise gave the woman a replacement car, and the slithery snake was released into the wild. Hopefully, the critter will learn its lesson and not terrify unsuspecting drivers who choose to decline the optional collision insurance. Let’s just hope the driver got a decent upgrade to something a little fancier as a replacement, as long as it wasn’t a Dodge Viper—ha.
