While I can’t answer your direct question, look at it like this. You are looking for reason why the company wants to not put miles/kilometers on your car, that wants to not waste your fuel, that wants to not put wear and tear on your car for 7 hours (14 hours?)…
While I’d also be confused as to the logic, just smile, say thanks, and enjoy the small additional holiday bonus that you get from beating on someone else’s ride.
Unless you recently pissed someone off, and they just happen to know someone in the rental gig, whereas I’d be very cautious about the condition of the brakes.












You never know!
