Innovative online car rental broker CarDelMar.com explores some of the excuses people may use when returning their holiday car rental late

Returning your hire car late can incur extra costs or fines and for many people it may also mean they miss their flight but if for whatever reason it can�t be avoided CarDelMar suspects you�ll want a good excuse. An internal survey conducted at CarDelMar revealed some useful excuses that might come in handy:

� Traffic jam caused by stopped clan of Tibetan yak herders � My dog swallowed the car keys � A police man borrowed it to chase a thief � The traffic lights were mistimed on my way in � The autopilot in my car didn�t work � I�m a newlywed. Do you want me to continue?

However, none of these inspired excuses would have been sufficient as to why two gentlemen in Dubai were late in returning their cars. It swiftly became apparent to police that they were part of a car heist as some of the stolen vehicles were found sealed and ready for export.*

On the explanations dreamt up by people returning hire cars late Carsten Greiner of CarDelMar commented �The excuses some people come up with never cease to amaze me! It always creates a good laugh in the office�.
