answer:Welcome to Fluther! May I ask two questions first? 1.) Enterprise does not rent to a person without proof of insurance or a contract with a company where potential costs from damage will be covered by that company. So, I am assuming that you have car insurance, but that the deductible is set for a minimum of paying out $1000. Is this correct? 2.) How do you know that it was the hotel valet that caused the damage? The reason I ask is that I used to work at a hotel where guest cars were valet parked, but as an employee, I had access to the garage and could park my own car. In either case, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to prove that a hotel employee is the guilty party, unless you have proof or the employee confesses. If you answer these two questions, we might be able to help you build a case in your defense.
