This super SUV is a rental and the renter had it for all of two hours before causing damage that’ll cost more than most people pay for a new car

Fender benders are almost always a big headache for everyone involved. That’s an understatement of incredible proportions when one is dealing with a Lamborghini though. One YouTuber just found out the hard way that a relatively light sideswipe accident costs more to fix than many folks pay to buy a whole car.

Rob Ferretti of the YouTube channel SuperSpeedersRob has his own exotic rental business. The Lamborghini Urus in question is from that fleet and he had just rented it out for an entire month to a customer. Just two hours later the customer called and reported the bad news. Another driver sideswiped him and the car was in rough shape.

That sideswipe was incredibly rough to the Urus and left both doors badly damaged. The hinge for the rear door is clearly visible and the frame of the door no longer matches the frame of the car. The mirror is toast too.

Initially, Ferretti says that he believed the repairs would be simple due to the “mass-produced” nature of the Urus. He hoped that Lamborghini might have a number of parts available for its best-selling car. If that didn’t work out, he figured that finding a couple of doors and a mirror at a junkyard wouldn’t be too tough.

Sadly, that’s simply not the case on either front. Lamborghini charges $10,000 per door skin according to Ferretti. While he didn’t itemize each piece, the total just in parts for the repair is some $36,292.67. Somehow the accident didn’t damage either wheel which would’ve jacked the price up even further.

What we do have an itemized list of is the rest of the associated labor and paint. To put it mildly, it’s an invoice worthy of a Lamborghini. The frame labor will cost $1,050. The paint supplies another $4,192. Physically painting the car runs $6,987. And then on top of all of that, there’s the body labor which will evidently take 75.9 hours.

The grand total for that body labor? $9,487. Add all of that up with the parts and we get a grand total for the whole job of $62,027.25. Thankfully, the cost of the rental is still covered so Ferretti isn’t out that cash, and the renter evidently wasn’t at fault. Regardless, we’re just happy not to be paying for it.
