OFFICIAL STATEMENT & WARNING TO RENTERS
We would like to inform the public that we recently had to secure (entrap) one of our rental units due to an unauthorized 1-day extension where the renter failed to make payment and could no longer be reached, despite multiple attempts to contact them.
What raised serious concern on our end was the vehicleโs activity history:
โ๏ธThe car traveled over 240 kilometers in just one day within the city,
โ๏ธWith multiple parking locations,
โ๏ธAnd usage mostly from night until early morning โ all of which are considered major red flags for any rental operator.
โ๏ธRecovered with empty fuel
What saddened us most is that the renter is a local resident of Bacolod City and even claimed to be working under one of the barangays in the city. This only reinforces the reality that being local is not a guarantee of responsible renting.
We would also like to make it clear that we are NOT posting or disclosing the identity of the renter, as we respect and value the privacy of every individual. This post is meant purely for awareness, warning, and education, not public shaming.
Because of our previous experiences, we strictly enforce this policy:
๐ Any rental extension must be paid or properly communicated ahead of time.
Failure to do so will result in immediate action to protect our unit.
Please understand that this rental business is the source of income and livelihood of our employees. We will not allow their jobs and our business to be put at risk by irresponsible actions.
๐ NOTICE:
If this matter is not properly settled within five (5) days, we will be forced to pursue appropriate legal actions to protect our business and our staff.
This post serves as:
A warning to those planning to rent with us with bad intentions
A lesson for us to stay vigilant
And a reminder to fellow Bacolod rental operators who are also working hard to make ends meet
We remain committed to serving legitimate and responsible renters, but we will always prioritize protecting our units, our employees, and our business.
Thank you for your understanding.
