Unfortunately I can’t say names. But lots of people renting cars with out businesses license or insurance.
Imagine if someone who barely gets by, saves up money for a year to rent this car and gets a 100k bill. It could legit make someone commit suicide. Do what you have to do to get these scumbags!

To be fair, those people shouldn't be renting exotic cars then. Since exotic car rentals don't offer insurance like a regular rental company does then they should know better that there is too much risk involved with driving a $100k+ car. Even if they up their insurance coverage to cover the rental they'd still be screwed for several years with their rates going up.

Can’t believe you would even spend $20,000 for the rock chips. it’s their fault for buying a super car, which they know they’re going to rent, and they know is going to get rock chips, and not putting Xpel on it .

I rented a Dodge Ram from enterprise a couple years ago and some jackass scratched it with a shopping cart in the parking lot at Target. It was me, I am a jackass. I thought I was going to have to pay for it, it was a pretty significant scratch and it went almost the entire length of the rear passenger door. I bought some buffing compound and I fixed it to where it was almost gone but I thought they were still going to notice. I was shitting bricks when I returned it, they didn't notice it on the walk around, then I was expecting a call for a couple weeks afterward but they never called. I am now much more careful when parking unfamiliar vehicles.
I love this. I hate dishonest people. Get’em Rob!!

Right? I'll bet you're 100% correct. They probably have a big ass gravel pit, with huge rocks scattered randomly, behind their building that they go do donuts in for an hour once people return the car... Get a few nice big chips in there that they can charge someone 100 g's to fix. Buncha damn crooks.
Superb Move Rob. 👍
Love the introduction
This made my day.
Should be interesting when the insurance company asks for receipts for the repairs, unless they commit fraud and doctor some up. The insurance company could refuse to pay anything outside of industry standard costs. Their last move is try to sue the insurance company and Rob.
Want 100k? Ok, go through my insurance then. Classy move Spaghetti.

In exactly the same situation in the UK. Insurance company can see the fraud, and have now assigned a solicitor as well as a barrister. Let's see if the guy is prepared to turn up at court.. :)

Watching your channel makes me afraid to rent an exotic car. It's super entertaining and I enjoy your videos, but I don't want to become a customer, where I spend a few thousand bucks on a rental, and it's really easy to cause some huge amount of damage, and it will become some horrible dispute. It's really odd that watching an exotic car rental channel run by an owner of a top exotic car rental company makes the viewer feel this way. Most channels I watch, I end up becoming a customer or buying the thing they're constantly talking about. You're emphasizing the worst part of you business.

The one thing I do notice though is if you watch say Royalty exotics and see all the Day 1 rentals that are crashed in a way that can't be described other then driving recklessly. One of the exotic groups around my area had a ferrari go into a guard rail last week on a very easy downhill i nail daily. Point being while someone like you or I would do our best to look after the car and drive it within our ability, you have others that just see them as toys to go out and thrash like any other machine. Also high end cars always attract drugs, alcohol etc so just another risk factor
You KNOW that body shop refinished that wheel and installed it as new later
checkmate!!!!
Your Lambo bumper example would indeed be classified as fraud. Shops used to do exactly that all the time, claim to use OEM parts, but use repops instead, or not repair it all all, and either pocket the difference, or split it with the customer. Insurance companies seem to be slowly getting better at stopping that now. For example, a coworker of mine got hit, and the shop that fixed it had all the detailed receipts for the parts, and took tons of photos before, during, and after the repairs, and it was all required by the insurance.
Checkmate!
Love it
*Today, Rob Spaghetti is playing 4D Chess*
I work at a body shop, and if you put a new bumper on the insurance claim, it needs to get a new bumper. Otherwise its insurance fraud. Its even down to a freaking bumper bracket, if you put it on the invoice, it better be on the car.
09:05 it’s not fraud but if you do not have proof of that repair you’ll never be able to claim the same damage. Example if you get the money for the Lamborghini bumper and don’t buy and or replace it. Next time around you’re out of luck. I’ve checked with insurance recently. Albeit my car is 6 years old and I ended up not pocketing money because it was just easier to fix it at a authorized shop.

Ths scares any person that whant to try one day a super car. I don´t know if in super cars when you rent, the ensurace cover the wind screens, but in normal cars, yes. You have to read but I think even the basic cover, covers the wind screen. The even don´t change, they repair. But charge a los of noney for a rock chip in a wind screen ... that should be cover by the ensurance. Next monday again I have to travel to Barcelona and Rent a car in Sixt company, they have very nice cars. With full coverage (covers smal damages, but not a total lost)

Insurance just has to "make you whole". YOU DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO REPAIR THE CAR AT ALL. THEY just have to give you the value to bring it back to the state before the damage. So yes they can take the 100k and and fix it for 10 and pocket the rest if they want and it's not fraud.

Pretty much. Repair cost vs diminished value/diminution of value if you damage it you pay and generally the numbers are the same order of magnitude. And yet somehow spegetti is an expert witness lol expert in body shop repairs or in how to mismanage a hooptie rental company.
I got a car that got totalled and insurance don't wanna pay what the car is worth and only trying to pay like 2k. When it was the other persons fault. What do I do?
As you said - Accepting the insurance company's offer after inspecting damage, and then not doing anything isn't fraud. Making representations to the insurance company about what you're going to do with the money, and then not doing it (or at least making a good faith attempt to do it) is fraud.

Yeah, although your definition VS Robs example is two different things IMO. If you say; "I want 35K so I can put an OEM bumper on it", that's one thing. If you say; "I want 35K because the OEM bumper is 35K", then I just think that's the truth. I think one thing we forget in this equation is the purpose of insurance. Principle of indemnity, to restore one financially. Its in the base of most property and casualty insurance, you cannot benefit from an insurance claim, nor can you lose from one. You are to be restored whole financially. In this scenario, this is my property, it was damaged, to restore me financially for my loss, I need X amount. If my bumper is 35K, then its 35K. If my car lost 20K in value due to a collision on its record, I want 20K. Prior to this accident, I had a 300K Lambo. Now I have a 245K Lambo with 35K in repairs needed. You caused me a loss of roughly 55K. I now need 55K to be restored whole financially. That's the purpose of the insurance, and the insurance does its job once it pays out. Its only purpose is to restore me financially due to the negligence of their insured. Now technically, legally, I do think that you're supposed to use the money for repairs, regardless of your negotiation for something or not, which I think is BS regardless, but it exist for fraud.

They’re not afraid of the car getting rock chips. They’re afraid of the entire front end of the car being sandblasted from consistent 150+mph speeds in the desert. Damage is damage. It’s up to the driver to prevent damage. Not the rental company.
I can see the insurance company paying the value of the part that is on the car and a cheaper part being put on as fraud. So let's look at it this way the comes with a 35k bumper. That bumper is OEM insurance is paying for OEM part to restore value back to original. If someone chooses to repair cheaper when the vehicle is sold they take the loss then. Why would the insurance have the right to pick and choose cheaper parts that will devalue the vehicle more. If an insurance company would take me to court the argument would be was that the OEM bumper that was damaged and was the replacement 35k. They paid for the part that was damaged not the part thar was installed or purchased.

I don't know how it is in exotic car world but when it comes to more pedestrian cars there is no such thing as a duty to repair if you negotiate a higher payout than the initial insurance offer. Also just because you want only the best for you baby does not mean an insurance will agree to pay for new parts if old ones can be repaired properly. Should you jump the gun and get new parts yourself it might end up being on you. That's why you negotiate first and you get what you get but then it is up to you to fix it or not. I bet those guys will have pretty hard time getting those 100K from insurance just based on the pictures if they can't even show the old parts. And even if they could I can't see an insurance agreeing to pay 15K for wheels if they could been repaired properly for $250. My two cents no one asked for. :)
