Took it all the way back to IBZ airport where Enterprise claimed that, because I'd driven it out of the garage and not returned it 'immediately' the nail is likely to have happened with me driving it (very unlikely so quickly) and I was liable for the cost. And they charged me. I'd had the car about 15 hours at that point.
