I saw a guy with a rented sedan at the PJ gas station once that had managed to knock the oil pan drain plug out while driving on a dirt road. He was on the phone with the rental company most of the time I was there (getting a tire plugged), he was not a happy camper. Honestly, I have no idea how he made it to the gas station. The car was sitting barely in the parking area with a big black puddle underneath. I wonder how much that ended up costing him?
I rented a Toyota Camry once from Avis and the rental agent told me "no unpaved roads". Had never been told that before and not since; though I had read that in the contracts before. ...didn't stop me though.
