This makes me think that rental cars should not have keys, but codes, which you have to enter by mobile phone and thus unlock the lock. Generally, I don't understand the procedure of the rental car company. Towing? Why not just arrange another key by asking for security in the rental contract and then send the key by express to the place where you took your first hotel? Or by confirming the ID card, which has to be provided with every car rental transaction? So you would have lost as much time as you did with the whole cumbersome procedure of towing and replacing the car.
Apart from that, I know from the United States that people are used to long car journeys, but 27 hours? My goodness, the festival was worth a lot to you.
You'll laugh about the whole story later. In the end you just lost money, that's all. Your health is undamaged, your limbs intact, your life one story richer. You pay off the money either in installments or with the person who puts it out to you. It's just that one feels inwardly in agreement with it, which makes it easy. As long as there is anger and unwillingness to pay the bill for this adventure, it remains a sting.
In fact, you did not fulfill your responsibility to take care of the things that came into your care from your friends, because you lost your nerves. You should have been vigilant at all times. For to watch when circumstances are easy is not a big deal. But to take care of things when the situation becomes difficult shows you where you still have to work on yourself. I would say that if something similar happens to you again, you will keep a cooler head and check things twice and three times, just when it gets hectic.
If I were you, I would take out the request to donate money. It's something you'd better do all by yourself.
I read this story with great excitement. Thank you very much!
