    On 11/21/2023 I rented a car from A1 economy rental car company in Honolulu Hawaii. On 11/28/2023 when I returned my rental car to them, they claim there is a scratch on the rental car that I'm responsible for and I was then charged $1500 from my credit card for the car damage. To be honest, the car I rented was in very poor condition with lots of scratches which doesn't even worth more than $6000 in total as a car, but they forced me to pay $1500 out of pocket for a vandalized scratch. A1 economy rental car company told me that they will give me the itemized repair cost invoice so that I can get reimbursed from my car insurance within 3 months. During this 3 months I was not able to receive any update from this rental car company, they have been extremely rude every time when I called them for an update and when I email them, I'm not able to receive any response. Now I'm filing this complaint for A1 economy rental car company and I want the itemized repair cost invoice from them immediately, and hopefully you guys can help me.

    A basic experience turned horrible due to extremely rude customer service received via the call center. The call center is administered by a very haulty older man who arbitrarily decides when he will answer the phone and will verbally assault you if he doesn't like your questions. On my first call he mimicked my voice and called me a stupid c*** before hanging up and not answering again for a week. He has caller id and refused the subsequent calls or picked up, never said anything and then hung up.My location experience was uneventful, shuttle service was quick, comfortable and professional. I still would not recommend ************ because they do not have influence over their customer service and provide no ********************** or apology for the crass behavior you're subjected to via the call center representative. They never undated my rental agreement when I switched cars (radio was broken), as a result the gas amount they expected was wrong and I had to gently fight back to not pay extra. I also witnessed them switching out rates on the two other people renting at the same time as me. They made them pay an additional $200 because their flight was delayed and they got there late.
