overcharging credit card
I rented a car from Avis through Priceline and prepaid. The agreement was for $124.82 total. I returned the vehicle early and did not contract for any additional expenses. Yet when I returned the car I was charged an additional $326.15 without any explanation on the reciept. My rental rate on priceline was $22.00 per day and on the contract at pickup it showed a rate of $21.74 per day. Yet my retrun reciept suddenly charged me a rate of $83.99 per day plus additonal fees, a so called concession recovery fee, plus taxes, which was never a part of either the contract nor the agreement through Priceline. The local manager has no explanation, but says this is the computer systems of Avis national. As a result all I can say not only are they thieves committing criminal acts, but obviously organized criminals to boot!
car rental miscellaneous charges
I happened to rent a car for the New years from Avis Rental Services at Bernardo Center Drive, San Diego, CA. I think it must have have been the biggest mistake made so far on my part. To think of it now after the dreadful experience, I reckon it wasn't even a mistake but a big blunder. Cindy, who was in her late fifties was highly unprofessional and...
Read full review of Avishorrible experience
This was the worst experience ever! No wonder that Avis is the underdog and will most likely go out of business soon. I hear that they have so many lawsuits against them. Avis teaches their associates to cheat customers into signing the rental agreement, and charge outragous prices on upgrades, insurance and gps and roadside. People, you must read your contracts and don't sign if you don't understand. Keep all your papers to know what daily rates are and weekly rates. DO NOT RENT FROM AVIS AS THEY ARE TAUGHT TO SCAM CUSTOMERS TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT. Then you cannot dispute charges. The managers want the agents to sell because they make commissions. So therefore you are gonna get suckered. Unless you like paying high bills I would stay away from Avis.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Yes they cheat customer, They charged me 70$/day in additional for a FREE UPGRADE. Refused to refund
customer service
The "lady" named christina at this location called me being and talked to me very rude! Saying I would have to pay for some drink that spilled in a small part of the back carpet and that it would range from 50 to 100 and that she would not give me the name of the company cleaning it, and that it wasnt up to me to choose how to clean it because it was my fault that it was like that, and she simply said I have no time to be wasted with you and hung up the phone with out letting me talk! Never been treated so rude by someone in avis like this chiristina
yes i tried cleaning it and i take the consequences for the charge.because it is my fault.but what REALLY bother me was the girl's attitude..instead of just saying "hi we are going to have to charge you for the cleaning" she was = " THE CAR STINKS AND YOU ARE RESPONSABLE for it.. i wonder if you would do this to UR own car! then when i questioned about the price she was raicing her voice at me, and that is really got me upset!, also she hung up the phone on me when i asked her the name of the cleaning company..its not about what happend with the car, IS THE WAY you say things...theres other ways to say what you want to say without being rude about it
over charged
I rented a car in santodomingo airport in domincan republic. It was booked on line with confirmation number etc. But was over charged $40 more than final price confirmed in intenerary. They told me contact their corporate office in parsippany newjersey or virginia address they gave me later. All 3 avis rep s were of no help. Im now disputing with my credit card. I seen other complaints on boards but now I face it first hand. Dont rent international with avis check the message boards of complaints theyre fraud with suspicious activity I seen with otheres with similar problems as me
claims I returned the car to another destination
On June 24, 2010, I rented a vehicle in Baltimore, MD for one day. At the time that I picked up the rental vehicle, the computer system at the rental location was not working and so the person at the Avis counter filled out the rental agreement by hand. I have included a copy of the rental agreement with this letter.
The booking was for $53.99 as shown on the reservation that I made. I was very surprised therefore when I received my credit card statement which showed a charge from Avis of $135.48. I contacted Avis customer service to inquire about the charge. Customer service claimed that I had not returned the car to the Sheraton Hotel in Baltimore, but had instead driven it to JFK airport where I returned it at 9AM on June 25.
I disputed the claim that I had taken the car to JFK. As proof, I faxed to Avis customer service my boarding pass for a JetBlue flight from Baltimore to Boston at 11:30 AM on 25 June, a bus ticket from Boston to Portland, ME as well as other credit card charges which indicated that I could not have physically driven the car to JFK. I also followed up with Avis customer service on multiple occasions by telephone. I have asked for a copy of the modification to the reservation which should have been processed if I had actually taken the car to JFK instead of returning it to the Sheraton in Baltimore, but I was told that such a document does not exist. Although the representatives told me that they would look into the matter, the charges were never reversed. Finally, I got my credit card company, Chase involved and they agreed that I could not have taken the car to JFK and refunded the charges.
Just recently, I received a letter and a message from Avis. The charge which were refunded to me by Chase have now been sent to Avis collections. Avis collections claims that I owe Avis $80 after Avis “adjusted” the charge to $108. However, this does not make sense. If my original rental was for $53.99 and I owe $80, then how was my account adjusted to $108 as collection claims? Clearly, there is a lot of confusion over this reservation on the part of Avis.
Avis customer service can only claim that I took the car to JFK. They can neither provide a return receipt nor proof that the original contract was changed to allow me to return the car to a new destination. On the other hand, I can provide a signed return receipt to show that I returned the car to Baltimore and I can provide my boarding pass and credit card statement to prove that I purchased a flight from Baltimore to Boston. What I believe happened was that due to the problems with the computers at the rental location in Baltimore, the Avis representative made a mistake. After I returned the vehicle to the Sheraton in Baltimore, she rented it to another customer who took it to JFK. Rather than to admit a mistake and despite the overwhelming proof that I provided that I could not have driven the car to JFK, Avis customer service has continued to aggressively and falsely claim that I owe Avis money.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
assult and horrible customer service
I went to return my vehicle on Nov. 12 and the customer service representative said my total was different then on my copy of the rental agreement. When I asked why he said it was because of the insurance I declined. Apparently instead of removing it from the agreement like I asked when I rented the car he added it to the agreement. When I told him I wouldn't pay for it he assaulted me twice and proceeded to yell and scream at me that I was a crook and a lair in front of customers and other employees. When I asked to speak to a manager or corporate he refused to give me a number to call or his name.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Assualted? wow strong words and accusations. Surely if other customers witnessed this you called the police immediately?
If you were assualted why did you not call the rcmp?, , , Just see a lawyer, and sue them, , , they will contact you at that point, and the employee will be terminated most likely..
stay away
As I generally have had positive experiences with Avis worldwide, I have recently decided to rent one of their cars in Brasilia, Brazil (Reservation #32664714US5). I was surprised when I was handed a very worn-out and noisy jalopy (c. 60, 000 mi old!) at a very high rate (approximately US$ 50+/day). Disgracefully, there was no other vehicle available at that very "low" rate. I wonder if the Avis Headquarters keeps an eye on their overseas branches/franchises. Also, I wonder why there is no complaints/positive feedback section within Avis's main website...
improper charges
I recently completed a reservation for a rental with Avis, Rental Agreement #[protected], I made the reservation through the Avis.com online reservation system in North America for a location in France, Geneva Airport ( GGV ) I had a confirmed rate of approx $339.30 CAD determined by the exchange rate. The web site showed that Liability Insurance was approximately $14.81 CAD per day or $10.87 Euro's.
On the day of the rental September 13th 2010 I requested Liability Insurance from the agent, and she quoted me a price of $29.22 Euro's per day, I told her this couldn't be correct as the web site showed $14.81 CAD and pointed it out to her, she just shrugged and said the computer shows its $29.22 Euro's, and I could take it or leave it. I talked with her for over 30 minutes to make sure she had not added anything on to the rental increasing the cost to $29.22 Euro's, I specifically didn't want LDW ( collision insurance) from the rental company as they have a $1, 000 Euro deductible, and my Visa credit card covers LDW with no deductible. Visa told me specifically not to take the collision damage waiver from the car rental company as it would invalidate my Visa coverage. The agent insisted I was only purchasing liability Insurance and showed me the English translation of the French contract, it showed Liability Suppression for $29.22 Euro's and nothing else. This was a difference of approximately $365 CAD, at this point I didn't have any choice but to accept as I needed the rental car to continue my vacation, I felt I would have to sort it out when I returned. The agent gave me the French copy to sign and I was on my way.
On my return home I spoke with Avis customer service a number of times, I explained everything in detail, and requested the contract be adjusted according to the price quoted on their web site. They looked at the contract and informed me I was charged for 3 separate insurance options:
CDW 13.25
LLI 10.87
TPI 5.10
Total 29.22
They refused my refund request and sent me a copy of the French agreement I had signed, saying I had accepted the optional coverage, I disputed this further saying the agent assured me no other insurance was added and after reading the English translation, how could I possibly know they were combined under LLI. In North America each individual item is listed as accepted or declined.
I thought I was signing for LLI only, and the agent assured me that's all there was.
Therefore I feel the agent misled me, she appeared to understand English with no problem and at no time told me I was signing for two other optional services.
I also feel it is unethical or even illegal to provide a English translation which is different then the original French version and use that as a basis for obtaining a signature
Not only did I incur an extra charge of $365 CAD, but by adding the collision insurance I was now liable for the first $1, 000 Euro's in damages.
I should be refunded the two insurances I did not sign for, CDW and TPI a total of $263.37 EUR with tax.
I ahve attached copies of both the French and English agreements

scam, fraudulent charges
Avis Fraudulent Charges
Avis scammed us. We rented a car from Avis at Frankfurt Airport in Germany during our vacation. From Aug. 26 - Setp. 9, 2010. When we returned the car, a rep. from Avis check the car almost with a microscope, then told us that there was a scratch on the front bumper by the passenger side. we took a look then and saw a scratch no more than 2-inch. He told us that we'll be charged 490.00Euro. He said it's nothing because it should be covered by the credit card we used to rent the car. This is a scam by Avis. The scratch does not even look new, it's was not easy to find, unless you put your face only few inches away.
A few minutes later he gave us a receipt with a picture that he marked there's a scratch at the back bumper! So, what is it then? Back or front?
It does not matter because it all were already there. Avis's scammed us because there was a rental insurance from MasterCard, that covers up to $500.00. That's is why they charged a 490.00 fee for damage. But this is in Germany, so 490.00Euro becomes 690.00 us dollars!
We are alerting the credit card company that this Avis charge is a fraudulent charge. But my advice is be very careful. Take plenty of pictures of the rental car before you drive off the parking lot. This way you have proof that you did not cause the so call 'scratch' or 'damages', and avoid a scam like the way Avis scammed us.
The Frankfurt Airport Avis rental car scam
We had an experience almost identical to Avis Rent A Car — scam, fraudulent charges. We obtained the car in an evening when the garage was so dark we had to use a mobile phone to cast light on the car body to establish that sensors (cameras, radar, etc.) weren't dings. When we returned the car, the attendant ducked down and reported a scrape on the underside of the bumper on the passenger side. It was a black cosmetic scrape on a heavy durable plastic black bumper. You wouldn't notice it standing up (even un daylight). As it happens, we had driven the car to one distant location and parked it so there was zero chance we had scraped it. They said I didn't have to sign the bill, but although I didn't they immediately put it through to my credit card. The bill including other costs came to $999 and some cents. By coincidence, friends of ours had a pebble ding their windshield in Iceland this summer and were billed over $900 for a windshield replacement. Perhaps charges under $1000 aren't looked into closely. When I told corporate Avis in the US I would contest this, they said if Frankfurt Avis didn't reply to my complaint in 15 days the charge would be dropped. Frankfurt Avis didn't reply and reportedly I was reimbursed yesterday. My advice, if you are not sure you are at fault, fight the charge, especially with Frankfurt Avis. I'd also recommend downloading all of these complaints about Frankfurt Avis to help make your case to anyone who might help.
rip off due to not oing their jobs
Hired Avis car from Vienna Airport. Told to collect car in parking garage and all was fine with the car. Nobody to sign off on car, as the front desk is a long way from the garage. Got to car and found damaged. Assuming that the damage was recorded as per front desk I drove away. Upon returnung the car, I was told I needed to pay for the damage. No protesting would help and I was told I needed to pay for the said damage. After a while I decided to get on with my onward journey and sign the final payment with the said damage costs included.
Therefor all future car rental customers in Vienna, do not trust the Avis staff and refuse to take car without someone checking with you and signing off on the car. I FOR ONE WILL NEVER HIRE FROM AVIS AGAIN.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Avis Complain, Avis scam:
Re: Avis from Frankfurt Airport, car rental scam
We were scammed for 449.00Euro by Avis car Frankfurt car rental.
We rented a car from Avis ( Frankfurt Airport, Germany). After checking in they gave us keys and off we went. When we returned the car after 2 weeks. Person from Avis checked the car with a microscope and claim there was a damage. There was a scratch less than 2-inch long on the front bumper of the passenger side. Since no one accompany us to check the car before we took the car, there is no way of knowing if it was already there or occurred later. We were not the 1st customer to drive that car, car already has several thousands KM on it.
But Avis promptly charged our credit car for 449.00-Euro Even though the credit card we used for the car rental cover car rental insurance. This is a Avis-scam. They have done similar damage-scam-claim many times before. I just wish we knew before we rent car from Avis, never again.
All car rental should be careful. If there’s no procedure for a walk-through on the rental car you should take pictures carefully before you drive off the parking lot -- to avoid this type of Avis rental car scam.

im ASSuming you will...LOL
insurance fraud, hail damage
I returned your Nissan rental car, on July 1st 2010, in perfect condition with a full tank of gas and I verified full levels of oil and critical fluids. I properly returned your cars keys and completed your exiting paper work with your agent that same day. Then to my astonishment, 9 days later, I received a phone call not from you but from a third party representative named Emmale Koyle, from Purco Fleet Services, telling me there is $1, 200 worth of "HAIL" damage that all of a sudden appeared on your Nissan rental vehicle. I can't help in finding these claims to be highly suspicious and deceitful.
If this "HAIL" incident is TRULY my responsibility I will honor fixing that vehicle, but first there are troubling concerns about your motives, methods, perceptions and Budgets policies. I expect any prudent and reasonable persons or business, with integrity, to answer these legitimate concerns before I pay this bill:
1- Why was this alleged damage not reported on my exiting paperwork when I checked out that day?
2- Why did you or a representative from Budget not immediately call me about this incident? Why did you or a representative from Budget not call me at all? (All calls confirmed by cell phone records). Why have you not responded to my emails?
3- Why are you using a third party to act as a non-eyewitness and liaison to this event when you were the one who initiated these proceedings? Why do you, a professional representative of Budget, deny conversation of help and direction?
4- Why do you withhold the name of the person or persons who "inspected" this vehicle? Therefore, what questionable qualifications and experiences are you hiding for these vehicle "inspectors"?
5- If this incident is truly my fault, why was I not allowed an opportunity to fix it?
6- In our initial phone conversation, July 12th, 2010, you mentioned there had been HAIL storms in South Dakota for the past 6 weeks. If this is true, Budget must have a fleet of "HAIL" damaged vehicles sitting at the Rapid City Airport car rental, non-covered, parking lot. Doesn't Budget carry vehicle insurance for these unforeseen circumstances or does Budget still assign arbitrary damage claims to innocent customers?
7- How many car rental contracts, of the Nissan in question, were issued after my exiting paper work to the vehicle repair shop?
8- Why has it taken 10 days, after my request on July 11th, for Purco Fleet Services to fabricate these damage and documentation papers?
For piece of mind I say take the coverage and avoid deductibles, loss of use costs and liability issues. Your insurance will tell you that you don't need it, but don't tell you that it will cost you your deductible and could raise your premiums.. They also don't tell you that they do not cover loss of use..
THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THEIR INSURANCE (CDW)...BUT SINCE YO DID NOT THEN LET YOUR INSURANCE TAKE CARE OF IT...IM SURE THAT THE COMPANY OFFERD YOU TO BUY INSURANCE AND YOU REPPLIED THAT YOU ARE FULLY COVERD AND YOU HAVE GOOD INSURANCE !
they held fast in their dishonesty
Avis gauged me, increasing my bill by 15%. I returned the car from filling it across the street. "7/8s full, " they said. Ten bars on the meter and the last one was half down. With hundred degree weather, gas expansion and all it might be 1/20 down. A half gallon max. I was charged for two gallons at 7.99 a gallon. "You want me to top it off, " I asked, "at risk of inhaling toxic fumes?" I was warned they charged an exorbitant amount if the tank wasn't filled. But filled they still charged me for two gallons. Corporate policy. Nothing they could do. "But the truth of the situation is something different, " I argued. They held fast in their dishonesty.
The EXACT same thing happened to me. Same amount of gas, etc. I was told if it was not "FULL", then they had to charge me. I guess I should have taken a can of gas with me and filled it up when I parked it in the lot. What a rip-off! Needless to say, I will never use Avis again!
the AVIS COMPANY will charge people for gas, and most importantly any scratch that was previously on the car. They will charge people for old scratches. The agents whom check you in get bonuses for that.
I got a $182 deducted from my account instead of $28
I initialed to insure my rental car. I thought it was $28 a day for 3 days. That's the only amount that I read. That was reasonable. I got a $182 deducted from my account. They said it was 28 for one kind of insurance, another $ amount for another kind, and another $ amount for some more.
$182! I am pissed! I don't know what I am going to do. I needed this money in my account right now.
double charge
I have rented a car from Avis in Holland. I took it from Amsterdam and drop of in Paris according to my contract. In my contract total cost was 176 euro included insurance and 3 days cost of rental car. I gave the car back one day before 5 o' clock than contract date in Paris.
I asked them do I need to pay extra anything for drop on and drop off diffrent countries ? I have mails about those questions. But they never mentioned any other charge. They wrote me that every country's rules can be change. After ten days I saw that AVIS has charge 376 euro from my credit card. I asked them many times and they didn't reply related with my question. Europe AVIS directed us to Turkey AVIS and they said us the diffrence may be possible because gave back the car one day before than the contract date. So the Turkey AVIS also couldn't do anything. It's a ridicilous answer and I couldn't accept that.
Could anyone please advise me what can I do about it? How can they withdrawn double cost of rental car without giving any information?
this experience is the poster child for how to loose business
Tried to call the local location for two days, always redirected to the toll free number. Could not reach a human. Finally googled the location and walked a mile down there, Inquired about the phone situation, response "yea we've known about that" meanwhile some who appeared not be with the company was behind the counter on the phone. I suspect it is just easier to forward the calls than to have to do your job.
By the way, no cars of any kind available on a Tuesday morning (12 JAN)with no major events going on in town, something about cars in for mx. Not can we get you to the airport for a car or can you wait to have one brought over from the airport or even you might want to try the airport, would you like us to call you a cab. When inquired about a ride back to the hotel or another rental car agency...you got it, no drivers, but a warm body on the phone behind the counter. Zero customer service, zero cars and zero business from me. Bill Gatlin is the branch manager. This experience is the poster child for how to loose business.
over chargered for cleaning
I rented a suv from Avis rental car back in Feb.2010 for five days well I called back to change my reservation from 5 days to 7 days without being told that I would be charged an extra $10.00 on top of that my card was charged $50.00 extra and was told the reason for that is because the vehicle was returned extra dirty with pumpkin seeds and the seat was broken which was not true. I called the local branch which nothing was done also I called customer service which finally gave me a $54.99 credit after I complained about my card being charged another $64.99 for the same issue by a different Avis . I also spoke to the Regional mgr. Sherry Edwards that told me she would look into it and give me a call back which that never happen I had to call her only to learn the Airport Avis told her they had pictures of the dirty vehicle and I told her i wanted to see them which that never happened.I was never contacted back and had to get my $64.99 back from my bank.
This was the first time my husband and I have ever rented from Avis and it will most certainly be our last. We were told to return it with a full tank of gas, which is pretty standard. We were told nothing else. I guess my bad is that I have never really spent the time to read any of my car rental contracts very carefully because most things are pretty basic. BIG MISTAKE! We have two dogs, which we don't generally transport in our cars much. BUT we end up wearing the hair everywhere. I have never had to clean a car when I brought it back, ever. We got notice today that we are being charged $250 for cleaning fee because they found dog hairs on the floor in the front. I am so mad right now I can't see straight. I don't know if there is anything I can do but I am certainly going to fight it. I will never rent from Avis again, ever! I have never had a problem with Alamo or National. But Avis just lost a good repeat customer and anyone within the sound of my voice or fingers. That is absolutely ridiculous.
Alert: Review contract carefully! Sadly, I have another unhappy experience to report, fortunately didn't cost anything significant but a few minutes of our time. Our family arrived in San Francisco with an online Avis rental car reservation. The chatty, friendly rental clerk offered to upgrade the vehicle and we clearly responded that we wouldn't mind an upgrade if there were no increased cost involved, that we really didn't see any need to pay for a larger vehicle. Nothing was said regarding whether or not a car of the type we had reserved was available, either way. She offered that she could still perhaps give us a larger vehicle if we desired... and we assumed based on the prior exchange that her offer was without a cost increase. We said "Sure, fine, if it's possible, why not?"
We walked to find the car and were soon loading our luggage when by chance we reviewed the signed contract. We realized the contract price was significantly more than our online reservation. Suffice to say, we returned to the office, spoke again with the same rental clerk, and pointed out that she had charged more than our reservation specified. At that point she became entirely unchatty, and without apology or explanation, carried through to re-issue another vehicle in accordance with our online reservation. We transferred our luggage, moving over the kid's car seat, and driving away. We were sure glad we caught the price increase right away!
On reflection, we were astounded that the clerk went ahead and upgraded WITH A PRICE INCREASE when we had clearly stated that we wanted to keep with the original online quoted price. I have tried contacting Avis Customer Support only to let them know of our dismay, and still have yet to speak to someone except for an agent who only makes reservations.
We recently traveled again and utilized Avis, however after reading some of the other complaints on this board and on other websites we'll need to think twice before renting from Avis or Budget again. And, judging by other people's experiences we'll need to keep a careful eye on our credit card bills for the next few months to guard against over-charges.
Yikes!
false charges
I rented a Hyundai Elantra for a wedding. I only needed it one day but I was told minimum rental was 2 days for the weekend. I only drove the car to the wedding an back. When I went to return the car the guy checking it in said the car smelled like smoke and needed to be cleaned. I'm not a smoker and the only other two people in the car were my 13 yr old niece and 7 yr old nephew. I was told his "friend" could remove the smoke smell for $50 or Avis could clean it for $250. I wasn't going to have his "friend" clean it so my credit card was charged $250. I also have a friend who had the same situation with the same company. I will he contacting the better business bureau and the Avis corporate office
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Hi! I, a non-smoker, recently rented a car from Avis and had a similar experience. Two weeks after returning my car, I received a $250 smoking fee. I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. When I called to have this reversed (as I assumed this must be a mistake), they sent pictures of the supposed "tobacco and ashes", which, to me, looked like some white sand and salt from snowy weather. They have refused to reverse the charge. I am stunned and will certainly never rent from them again if I can avoid it.
"Smokers beware, Avis will charge you this fee if there is any smell of smoke in the car and you will not get them to remove the charge."
that is because there is no smoking policy, and stickers on all the windows of the cars that say
"no smoking, a $250 dollar fee will apply"
if you ignore that then you are accepting the consequences
However with this gentlmens complaint he has grounds, on of the few on here. We all know a smoke smell, even professionally done is hard to get out of vehicles. The agent, in my opinion, probably knew the car had a faint smell before he rented, probably qualified the renter and knew he was going to a wedding, and took a gamble that someone had smoked in the car.
This is where car rental companies do have issues, The agent needs to be able to see more than just easy dollar signs and respect the customer, especially those who respect the rental vehicle itself.
We rented a car from Avis in Joplin, MO their policy of no smoking is a scam, just another way of charging you extra money. We were chared more then the posted 250 dollars for cleaning and did not smoke in the car. I have used Avis for years but after this I will never rent from them again. Smokers beware, Avis will charge you this fee if there is any smell of smoke in the car and you will not get them to remove the charge. Customer service is joke, district managers are not available bottom line is do not rent from Avis!
fraud
Rental Agreement #: [protected].
2 Day Unlimited Miles SUV Rental returned with a full tank and 1 hour late.
I was charged $1, 196.02 ... that's unconscionable enough.
There has also been a "Hold" on my bank account for the amounts of $429.12 and $430.00 since March 27th.
That brings the total charge to $2, 055.14; for a 2 day car rental.
Rest assured, not only will this will pursued to the fullest extent allowable by law, but I will post this information on every message board I can find on the Internet.
pulling up your agreement it appears that you had gmc acadia on a one way rental, you were charged the rate for a van which is cheaper than the luxury suv that an acadia is classed at, so right off the bat you are receiving a small discount. this rental was a one way rental from stewart airport to ft lauderdale airport, your one way rates are 329.99 aday
and 249.49 an hour, is that ridiculous charge for an hour? absolutely but it is stated on the cnotract you signed (im assuming there). the airports have fees ranging from 10% to 15% nationwide just for being an airport and your taxes there were an alarming 19.125%, you also had ldw on the car at 9$ a day and also it appears rsn which is an extended roadside service (covers tires and keys). your total amount according to this receipt is $842.22. you cannot get the hour back, you did not return the vehicle in time for the two day charge alone. as far as holds go they are not a charge, so do not consider it a charge, and your bank should release them upon showing them your receipt. not sure if the 1200 has been changed to this amount after your complaint but it does not appear so, so you are providing false information on thsi one

About Avis
