I rented a car that I forgot had terrible seat comfort.
I won’t mention the car because it was terrible and I’m not giving it free advertising. It started to hurt my leg and foot and back and even on a short 4 hour trip it wasn’t a great experience.
Why am I sharing this? I forgot that this car drivers seat was terrible and I had rented the same model of car before. As soon as it started to hurt me I remembered that it hurt me before. You would think you would remember pain but I didn’t remember it.
I just sucked it up and dealt with it but I remember now and will never rent that SUV again. I like to think that I learn from my past lessons, but I accepted that that discomfort/pain happened and just forgot about it. While that may help me psychologically, it didn’t help me when I rented it again.
If you are planning to rent a car and considering a model that you have never driven before, research the drivers seat comfort. You will thank yourself later when you aren’t hurting on the return of your vacation.
