Whilst a pretty amusing headline the truth is car rental<\/a>, like any other industry, has its rogues, with stolen vehicles being a risk globally. Where in the UK we have a strict attitude to Due Diligence in countries like Spain, where this incident happened, things can take longer to get picked up, as this Saudi Prince discovered.<\/p>\n

Renting the \u00a3300,000 Lamborghini Aventador<\/a> from a British man the Prince was alarmed when pulled over by the police, responding to claims that the car has been stolen not lot before. Stopping the luxury vehicle at a police checkpoint in the upmarket resort of Puerto Banus a scene was created.<\/p>\n

Reported by the owner<\/h3>\n

The theft had been reported by a London-based German man who was holidaying in Marbella, identifying the car as his.<\/p>\n

The Sun reports:<\/p>\n

‘The Saudi royal showed officers a valid international driving licence and the rental contract but was not able to produce any vehicle documents.’<\/p>\n

‘The 31-year-old director of the agency who rented him the car, an Indian-born Brit with homes in Westminster, London and on an upmarket estate near Puerto Banus, was summonsed to the scene.’<\/p>\n
