Description
I’ve been warned about certain Avis locations making up charges but this was an all time weird one. When I asked over the phone why I was being charged “miscellaneous” he said it smelled bad in there like Chinese food. Which is odd because I did not smoke nor did I eat any food in there as the drive was relatively short. When I asked how he came to this conclusion and why I was being charged based off a hunch he told me he can’t help me and I have to figure it out. I have heard nothing from Avis about any of this for a solution. I believe I was charged an extra $100 for nothing. It’s a scam.
