Answer

Who is responsible if a rental car ends up precariously parked or rolling away at a Mallorca viewpoint?

Liability can involve mechanical failure, user error, or gaps in safety measures at the site. When a rental car is involved, handover protocols, instructions, and the vehicle’s condition—especially the parking brake—are part of the picture, and outcomes depend on several factors. In any case, insurers and the rental company play a role in determining responsibility.
