Dollar Rental Car Gary Paxton CEO; John Teague CEO SCAM; 'sets up' consumer with liability clause for excessive admin fees for alleged hidden tolls if toll pass is not purchased but consumer is not informed at the desk that $40 pass is NECESSARY at Tampa. Oklahoma Nationwide

I am from NY and it was my first time visiting tampa. With our tolls you pay cash or go through easy pass but you always have an option so I did not pay for the pass I thought I'll go through and pay cash. I was wrong no one told me there were plate tolls I had no idea until I went through them and it said $1.25 I'm like ok didn't realize 5gere was a $15 charge on top of the $1.25 until I got my bill I was so mad but next time I know better I just paid it and know to purchase it next time. It definitely sucks that they don't explain how the tolls work down there but why would they they are making so much money off out of town people like us!! Another company not thinking of their customers I will not be renting with them again just because of this stunt

I'm not "brain dead" Jim, here's the deal hypothetically Dollar gets; (I just used  my $1.59 Walmart calculator.)

17,552,707 passengers pass through Tampa airport each year according to their website.  If Dollar rents to only 10% of that number lets say for illustration purposes 1,755,270 people each year and of those lets say as they are a low end budget oriented franchise; that say only 65% choose the opt out of the Tampa Sunpass. For the 1.00 electronic toll that one cannot see, feel, read about or taste to know it is there to pay, one would be billed $60.00 plus the toll after your trip was long completed.  Hypothetically, that would result in windfall revenues to Dollar rental of approximately $6,845,530 each year billing these usary type fees as add ons to your credit card.  It does not take a JD from Harvard to see this is unethical and a scam!   All it takes Jim is half an ounce of connecting a few cororate greed dots and a $1.59 calculator from Walmart; so kiss my grits!!

To the reader: calculate the cost of Sun Pass as an obligatory fee in your Dollar Rental on top of the advertised cut-rate deal they tell you they are giving you and you will quickly see how competitive they really are.  Not much truth in advertising these days.  Opt out of Sun Pass and automatically add at least another  $60 - $90 bucks onto the deal they are giving you up front  because sure as shootin they are coming to get your credit card for their annuity payment. 

To Dollar: Dont send out the possi boys, Jim was an amateur but you dont stand on firm ground.  USA is getting tired of the corruption on all levels especially us seniors. We have seen our interest rates stolen by the banks, our pensions destroyed by the corporations and we get 'humped' from every direction all under the guise of the small print and legalize.  Its time to expose it all for what it is!  Greed boys, just plain greed.  Thanks Jim for the repartee; its been fun.

Avoid Dollar rental like the plague. I know I will.

The only "high horse" is your two legged butt..its a horses behind dear friend...

Its not about the 'liability clause'; reading it or NOT reading it;  its about the SET UP.  Admin fees that are exhorbitant and a system of customber service that is bogus and a legal counsel that covers their scam nad it is a SCAM.

In the ame way that Dollar does not know  every hidden electronic station on the Florida system and fails to indcate that they exist to the out of town and out of state travellor and insists to GUAGE for hidden fees..is the same way I have the right to speak up and notify other consumers that this unethical practice goes on.  You  notice I did not say illegal..no it is not illegal to parce the law to favor your own pocket book especially when you can charge $30 bucks  clip for a hidden toll of 1.00 and do it muliple times.

I will let the reader be the judge of  whose  horse is  more arrogant and higher!

Why do you defend this practice anyway do you have a horse in the race?? speaking of horses!!

 Why is it I was able to find all the toll policy information on their website in less than 45 seconds? Did you even bother to read the contract or did you just sign without knowing what you were obligating yourself to? Did you actually think you are ENTITLED to use their car and their registration to avoid paying tolls? Bottom line here is YOU didn't even bother to read the agreement you signed! Otherwise, you would have seen the toll policy! It's not THEIR FAULT you failed to be a smart consumer! No scam here!!! Let me save you the effort...don't bother with the immature, brainless response of "you must work for them" because you just can't stand it when the nail is hit directly on the head. I don't work for them!!!!!
