Lost rental car

[Mikenike]

I called Avis and they tell me the transaction was closed normally on the day the car was due and they see no missing car in their system. Go figure.

So they are just retarded.

Sounds like you turned your car in and they lost it to me

Probably not physically, but in their computer system. But I did learn some valuable lessons from this clusterfuck.

Mostly not handing over the keys without a $@#$%@# receipt.

No, the lesson is they will unfuck it most of the time, watch your charges and alert them first

I've turned in many rentals without receipt. Drop the keys or just drop the car. Usually it's good or quickly resolved

I always take before and after video walk-around, I'll make sure to include the drop off background a little better for documentation...



I video document a fair amount of stuff, haven't had to really use it, the few times it's come in handy, "well if it comes to it I can check the video" things smooth out at that point

This. Anything I've rented from cars, apartments, to tools, Quick vid of time of pickup with the rental person present and in the vid and a quick vid of the time of return showing no new damage.

(Unrelated side story)
The rental company of the last house I rented tried to get me for screens I never had, dirty carpet, and other damage that was very obviously there when I moved in trying to take my whole security deposit. One Email with the move in vid in it, they promptly returned the security deposit in full. Also screwed them in court with the next tenant because it showed damage that we had complained about and they never repaired (soft spot in floor) next tenant stepped through the floor and broke an ankle and sued the crap out of them.

Somebody forgot to check it in their system. Then they figured out the oops and handled it quietly.

if they are charging OP it is a fraud case now in my book
