Not sure if you all saw this story over Thanksgiving about how car rental companies rent you cars they don't have and then try to charge you 4x the price when you're desperate but I just had a run-in with shady @Avis. nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc…
I had to go out of town for a competition my daughter was in and rented a car with @Avis. Pick up was noon on Friday two weeks ago. At 10:00am they called saying they had no cars and the reservation was cancelled. I said I have a contract. They said too bad. I was panicked.
I scrambled & fortunately I was able to borrow a relative's car but I can only imagine what a nightmare it would have been if I couldn't. I'd literally have no way of getting to the competition. I chose not to complain because whatever, it worked out ok so moving on.
And then I got my credit card bill today. $50 from Avis for "non-cancellation fee". That's what in Yiddish we call chutzpah. Fuck you @Avis.
