Flat Tire Puncture and Insurance on Rental vehicles in USA

Recently I had a bad experience with the rental car. I have taken a rental car for a week. I have taken it through the Priceline and also taken insurane.

I drove the car for 4 days with out any problem. on the fifth day the Tire got Flat Tire (Punctured). I have contacted the Rental car company and they informed me that they are not responsible for the Tire. That is our responsibility to give them back in good condition.

I went to the Tire company and enquired for the tire repair. They told that I have to replace the car. Finally I have replaced the car with brand New Tire. I lost $180 for the replace of the tire.

Out of this I learned a lesson that we have to take Insurance and Road Side Assistance from the Rental Company.
