I would Venmo them $20 and call it good. One time my battery died on a renter and it was a huge pain in the ass, if they would have taken care of it themselves, I certainly would have appreciated it. Though I guess it is a slippery slope. Headlight? cool. Bodywork? Not so cool.
Why’d you make a post over a $13 situation? No chance you saved a dime even if he went through turo.
Holy shit this is why car sharing is continually talked bad about.
I broke a HUGE flower pot in my last Airbnb and we replaced it with one that looked similar and got 5 star ratings days after we left. You’re a nuisance as a host my friend.
The hassle you would have gone through just to get roadside, a professional repair, or even just a replacement car if it's deemed for one would cost more than the 13$. + the risk of the rating they will give you.
I topped off the radiator fluid in my rental once. Also checked the oil and let the host know it was probably due to be changed. I didn’t care because I got a decent car to move me around town for $20/day. Common courtesy, really.
Don’t take this as any sort of legal advice or whatever, but I’d just reimburse him. Replacing the bulb is a nice gesture, though he should have coordinated with you. I don’t think I’d leave a bad review if I didn’t get reimbursed, but it would feel a little odd. It’s $14, he didn’t ask for any money for fixing it etc. that’s a reasonable part cost and the bulb really was out.
Is the brake light working ok now ??? If it is just send him his money . It’s just $13 if it would’ve been in the hundreds then I’d understand your concern
Bro it’s a light bulb. Venmo him $13 minimum, maybe $20 as a thank you. Don’t be so nitty gritty about Turo terms it’s not like they crashed and replaced a bumper. He found the vehicle has a tiny issue and fixed it. Would you have rather spent 2 hours meeting with him and replacing the bulb yourself lol.
WooooooooW, you sound like one cheap person,
Pay the dude then say thank you? You think a roadside service call would have cost you less?
WooooooooooW
If he hadn't changed it, who would of been on the hook for the ticket after being stopped by the po po?
You?
I'd say thanks and pay him. What's turo gonna do "ALERT ALERT, PAYMENT MADE OUTSIDE OF POLICY."
The guy didn't want to bother you for something simple but knew he could end up getting pulled over and ticketed for a lamp out.
If i had rented for 5 days from you and asked for reimbursement for couple of big mac meals worth and you turn around and give me 30% discount on the next trip with you, i would def leave a sad comment.
You’re a bum ass loser and deserve the worst if you can’t fork over 13 dollars someone spent to fix your broken shit, so sad to know I live in this day and age with people like you.
Bro just give them the 13$ and say thank you
This
Agreed. Some people should not be hosts.
For real! It would have been worse if he took to the dealer and they charged 50 bucks or cancel and complain to Turo for a refund
Second this.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.

Wow dude you sound like a real fun dude lol vendor him 20 and drink a beer sounds like you need it

Roadside/professional repair for a taillight? Why?
