Avis 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

Avis 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.

Avis 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.

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.

Avis 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..

Avis 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!

Avis 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.

Avis 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?

Avis 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.

Avis 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!

Avis 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

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!

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

Avis insurance scam

I recently were on a business trip to San Jose CA and I rented car from AVis at the airport. I rented it for two days. Upon returning the rental car, I was shocked that the guy who checked the car said that there is a scratch on the bumper ( at the lower portion) so I am liable for it. To start with, it was an old car which was not worth the price but I was in a hurry for a meeting, so I did not make any fuss. While using the car, I barely drove it much around and pretty much used it to drive from office to hotel. I was forced to fill up teh paper work for something I did not cause and upon probing I realised it was just an insurance scam. So, for people out there, please be careful, Avis is coming up with all kinds of tricks nowadays.

Avis stealing money

I've rented audi a3 at avis darmstadt in 2009 aug. While travelling across the europe, someone scratched that car's door. Person who served me while checking-out said that I should no worry and they will contact me for that matter later. What I got instead - they charged my card for usd1300+ - just for the scratch on the door. Moreover, my bank charged me usd180 more for overdraft happened with my card's account. I tried to contact avis and ask for explanations, but they just couldn't send me any valuable information, just kept sending me some papers telling nothing. Simple way to steal your money since you put your signature under the contract letting them charge your card backdating. No matter how serious was damage - they will charge you for maximum possible (or even beyond possible) amount. Simple but unfair way to earn money. I will never use their service anymore and never recommend them even to my enemy. Robbers.

Well did you get something in writing saying that you were not at fault and not responsible for the damages by Avis? Generally speaking any auto damage no matter how small should be reported to the police. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS NOT YOUR CAR!

The repair costs however are about right for that car. To bring it to exactly 100%, they probably had to repaint the entire door and that costs about 750 - 900 Euro depending on the color.

Avis fraudulent charge

I recently rented a car from avis at the orlando airport. The car was reviewed when I returned it on feb 1, 2010 and I received a 'receipt of return'. The employee stated the car was fine and I didn't need anything else. I just received a letter 2 days ago dated feb 19, almost 3 weeks after the car was returned stating there was excessive soilage damage in the car and they are going to charge my credit card $250. The car was spotless when I returned it! I have left messages to the person noted on the letter who is not returning my calls. This smells of soilage but not by my act.

I rented a car in colorado springs prior to picking up the car my son got sick i called Avis to cancel, they accepted the cancel request and said the $1744.81 that I prepaid would be refunded in approx 5 business days- it's almost a month later now and still no refund. I keep getting the run around no one helps me. I thought i was a preferred member but i guess not. I rent a car every two weeks for a week at a time and have been loyal to using Avis. what can i do to get my refund?

My name is Sharon Brancato - I am quite upset with Avis - actually a little shocked since I just explained all of this to Malissa #31121 and she would not get me to a supervisor - we waited in line at Jacksonville airport of the 19th of May - we waited for 45 min. which I think is a bit much of a wait but finally got to desk - rented a Toyota Camry blk. color - the girl told us to across the street and they would valet the car to us - we waited for about 35-45 min. for our car - no car - they finally told us they couldn't find the car and they will give us another car downgrade - I was so hot from waiting said yes and you will adjust the bill - no he said - finally we insisted on a car - the gentleman pointed us to a car - do you want that one - we said yes - we'll take anything at this point - we went to the car unassisted - no-one looked over the car - the car was dirty - we asked him does he need to change the car he gave us on our agreement - he took our agreement - didn't even change what we took and gave it back to us - well - Avis - is this how you run a business - I'm quite taken back by this rental - I would like someone to call me regarding this and explain to me why Avis - of all rentals would treat a customer in this way - Thank you Sharon Brancato

I don't understand the complaint I guess

what i gather is that you as a presidents club member (which entitles you to better cars etc..)
probably had a stipulation upon creation to include the avis insurances.

did you sign a rental agreement or initial for these coverages?
I only ask because it seems in rereading your complaint that you were aware insurance was included " free same day pick up and same date drop for 15 days, insurance included and american covers automatically when rented with amex."

If Amex covers the insurance but you still purchase it from avis you still purchased it
and they have a right to charge it, whether you want them to remove it or not

Avis awful service

I'm a preferred member and up until the last six months, sevice has been great - now the mistakes and errors avis is making is driving me away

1. I've had to go to the counter and stand in line 3 out of 3 times when picking up a car.

2. Avis has added a $13 to my bill for fuel service if I drive the car less than 57 miles without asking me if I bought gas - hey, it's cheaper for you and me if you ask... Did you buy gas before you put the charge on my bill and I have to reverse it with a phone call to your customer support. I can do things too that screw up your day, just like you screw me

3. Avis lot boss in atlanta (fri, 2/6) has his head where it doesn't belong. He's allowing cars to build up at returns so it blocks the bus to take us to the airport (nearly an half hour wait for that problem)

4. The person receiving cars at atlanta doesn't understand the concept of fill each queue in order — people had to wait 10 to 15 minutes because others coming in after were put into an open lane

Avis - I had come to depend on your dependable, efficent service. Your screwing up and falling behind. It can't be good for your future.

Avis car rental upcharge

Prior to traveling to germany for a vacation, I reserved a rental car through avis at an estimated cost of $463.31. When I arrived at the avis rental counter at the frankfurt airport, I was told that german law required cars to have winter during the winter months, and the same car that rents for $463.31 with summer tires costs 469.94 euro (approximately $690.00) with winter tires. A $230 upgrade just for winter tires.

I wrote avis complaining of the upcharge, and received the following response:
"I have spoken with our international department, and they stated that it
Is german law to have winter tires on cars. Please accept our sincere
Apology if germany did not include that anywhere in your reservation
Confirmation. I have reported this to management for correction."

Avis fuel

I filled car before returning to airport and they charged me $13.99 fuel charge after I got home because I didn't drive enough miles and provide proof of fuel! After the surprise charge on my amex, I called and they say they require a gas receipt for anything under 75 miles because maybe you didn't even fill the car... I had to take the time to fax them my credit card statement to show the lousy $4.21 it took to fill the car! And it took three phone calls to find out what this charge was even for.

Also, when I dropped the car early in the morning, there wasn't even an agent there. All other companies had agents then.

Avis insurance bait and switch

Has this happened to anyone else? I'm seriously considering looking at filing a class action...

I rented a car from avis through hotwire, and when I went to the counter, the agent kept trying to "upsell" me on everything but I said no. When she was going through the options, she either showed me on the form how much the insurance would be and I said no that's ok, then she gave me the form to initial. I asked her why it said $105 instead of the $52 that I paid through hotwire and she said they didn't know how much I paid through hotwire but that was the avis charge in their system and that I would only have to pay what I paid hotwire.

Well, when I went back a few days later to return the car, I saw they'd charged me this same $105. I couldn't figure out why, and so I disputed the charge. They took off a $15 charge for going over the time - the manager said even though I brought it back at the contract time, I picked it up an hour early so they should have adjusted my return time, so he waived that fee. But I was talking about the whole thing, not $15. The manager shows me where I had allegedly agreed to insurance at a cost of more than I paid for the car - $90. (I realized that this $90 plus the $15 equals the $105 initial payment I saw, which makes the initial $15 "late" charge also suspect, unless they knew somehow i'd bring it back "late.") I explained that the agent either circled that herself when she was showing me the options or circled it after I signed because I have never in my life purchased insurance for a car rental since I have my own. We had just gotten a rental car the other day and also declined the insurance.

I did notice that enterprise (the rental company we got a car from a few days prior) also tried to upsell us on options and even asked what my deductible is, like he was trying to scare me into buying the insurance. I'm thinking this must happen a lot?

I rented a car in lawrenceville ga and had the worst experience I've ever had doing this. When I brought the car back( and got charged an extra day because there was no night drop box available) the clerk disposed of the original contract and proceeded to complete a new one with an additional charge of around $61.45. Also, while down in Fla I got hammered by a toll of $1.25 which turned into $11.25 because I got charged a CONVENIENCE FEE OF $2.50 PER DAY FOR EACH DAY THECAR WAS RENTED. Which math fans, looks like the car was rented for 4 days & not the 5 the corporate types say. Anyhoo needless to say I will never use their product again. Enterprise here we come!

they have you sign on a electronic screen the print and circle the prices afterwards, they are not very forward with the costs as they are upselling you. The counter person who hustled me made them seem mandatory. You end up with triple the cost of your quote.

One step at a time

first why should they adjust your return time that YOU selected based upon the fact that you came in early. Should they have asked? yes. Should you have made sure before you signed it?
absolutely

similarly, if you signed the paper saying accepted next to the coverages, then you accepted them.

Now the deceit of the insurance agent was clearly wrong and underhanded,

just be careful what you sign off on, if the manager showed you where you did, then your inability to pay attention is what cost you

A very similar thing happened to me and my wife when we recently hired a car from MIA Avis. I never request the or accept the additional insurances, but when I returned the car I realised that I had been charged for the 'ALI' despite refusing the additional insurances. When I inspected the agreemnt I noticed that the initial next to this section of the agreemnt did not look the same as my initial where I had initialed eslewhere on the document. I firmly believe that the ring and initial was made after I had signed the agreement but before the copy was returned to me. I am most unhappy about this situation and have complained to Avis.
