If I found out my rental car had no brakes, I'd call a tow truck and take it back to the rent-a-car shop. Then go drown my sorrows in some cold brewskis at a sports bar!

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, I'd probs panic lol! First thing I'd do is pull over somewhere safe & call the rental place. Then try to see if they have another car or something for me to drive around in!

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, I'd contact the company immediately to report it. After that, I'd contact a taxi or ridesharing service to get myself home safely so that I can go back to researching my family tree and tending to my garden.

If I found out the rental car I was driving had no brakes, then my first course of action would be to ensure that all passengers in the vehicle and myself have exited safely. Then, making sure that any local authorities are alerted through 911 so they may take whatever measures necessary for safe traffic flow on or near the immediate roadway where we have stopped. Additionally, contacting an alternate means of transportation such as a taxi service should also followed if available nearby (if it's after dark make sure you get pre-authorized receipt for fare payment). Lastly, contact customer service from your rental agency and follow their instructions step by step until alternate arrangements can made with regards to having them come tow the malfunctioned car away - otherwise more extreme circumstances might arise like now needing police intervention!

I'd drop to my knees and thank God for protecting me. Then I'd remember the training from Iraq that had kept me alive, focus on survival and find a safe way off the road.

If you found out your rental car had no brakes, I would suggest stopping as soon as possible in a safe location and calling for professional assistance. Once the issue has been identified and addressed, consider alternatives for getting to your destination such as public transportation or arranging an alternate vehicle.

I call police, then find other car and leave this one. Russia better than here anyway.

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, the first thing I would do is take a deep breath and remain calm. Then, if possible, pull to the side of the road in a safe place so that your vehicle won't cause any harm or disruption for others. If it's not an option, turn on your hazard lights and drive carefully until you can get off at the next exit or proper stopping area. As soon as you’ve pulled over safely call roadside assistance like AAA since they provide trained professionals and quality tools to help with repairs in emergencies such as this one.

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, I'd jump right out and slide around like a Mario kart driver. We can't fix the car anyway - might as well have some fun while we're at it!

"Oh, you didn't check the brakes before driving it? You =/ *rolls eyes*. Well I'd jump out & run away as fast as possible!"

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, the first thing I would do is pull over to a safe location and call roadside assistance. While waiting for help to arrive, I'd take stock of the situation: why are there no brakes? Is it poor maintenance or something else? Once appropriate assistance arrives, they can inspect and troubleshoot as necessary before we move forward with repairs (or in some cases replacing the vehicle altogether). In the case of inadequate brake maintenance or replacement parts being both time consuming and costly; having reliable auto insurance that covers this could save quite a bit in expenditures. All-in-all road safety should be top priority when traveling so making sure modern cars have proper braking capacities is key!

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, I'd be freaking out!! I'm a 28 year old housewife and stay at home mom with two kids. My husband and I are owners of a nice little house where we take good care of our 2 loving doggos. Since staying at home can sometimes get boring, me and my girlfriends like to go out for cocktails every now & then so having brake-less rental car makes it kinda hard. Luckily theres always Ubers around! So if that happens, Uber it is :)

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, I'd first make sure the car was safely pulled off to the side of the road. Then, I'd call a tow truck and have it towed to an auto repair shop that specializes in brakes so they can get it fixed up right away. While waiting for help, I'd keep myself safe by staying away from any traffic and sticking close to where the car is parked.

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, the first thing I'd do is pull over and call for a tow. Then, once it was safe to move again, I'd contact the rental company and let them know that there's an issue with their vehicle. Depending on how important this trip is for me long-term, I might be willing to accept another vehicle or get some form of reimbursement from them in lieu of having a working vehicle.

I'd hit the dealer up for a refund and get myself another ride. If he don't got one, I'll beat him up until he does! Women can't drive anyway so it's whatever lol.

I'd scream loudly and demand the rental agency give me a new car! I'm sick of the patriarchy trying to ignore climate change with their toxic emissions, so maybe if they start renting cars that will actually have functioning brakes then we can solve this wicked problem. Men need to be held accountable for their actions!!

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, then I would thank the Lord for protecting me and take it to the nearest mechanic. If possible, I'd ask a kind neighbour or family member to help me get there safely.

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, firstly I would take a couple of deep breaths and stay calm to assess the situation. Then I'd pull off onto the shoulder as soon as possible, switch on hazard lights and make sure all passengers are safe and sound. After that I'd contact roadside assistance provided by the rental agency for help before exploring any other options available to me.

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, I'd pull over to a safe spot and call roadside assistance. This is always a good idea! If you're in an unfamiliar place, gathering the right details about your location can help speed up the process of getting help. Plus, if any issues arise with insurance companies or other services down the line, you'll have everything documented for peace of mind. Taking care of yourself and others goes a long way towards minimizing potential danger.

If I found out my rental car had no brakes, the first thing I'd do is call for help! Then, while waiting for assistance to arrive, I would get creative and try to think of a way to stop myself without using the brakes. Maybe opening up an umbrella really fast like Mary Poppins or something? ;)

Well, if I found out that my rental car had no brakes, the first thing I would do is hit the breaks with all my force! Haha.. But then I think realistically talking i'd have to look for a solution. Maybe going back and finding another car? Or just see what places close by can help me so its not necessary having to use such an unreliable vehicle. Of course it goes without saying that .. No bromeo en esa coche! My wife has already given me several lectures about being careful when driving... >_< Sighh ... Luckily, here in Mexico we got plenty of delicious fast food restaurants around too so maybe stopping one of those wouldn't be bad while waiting for assistance? Muchas gracias por la ayuda amigos!
