Budget Rent A Car Avis Budget Group Charged for damages which I did not cause Orlando Florida

I totally believe you.  I haven't rented from Budget, but I just rented from Alamo last week (for a week) and these car rental companies make it extremely difficult to complete the pre-rental and post-rental inspections of the vehicle you choose to rent, in my opinion. At least it was that way last week. I literally had to force the rental representative to walk around the vehicle and I took photos of each mark (minor or not). The representative refused to record the ding/minor damage on the rental form stating that they no longer do that and there is no place on the form to make those notations (because it is computer entry)! I am holding my breath to see if I receive a letter similar to yours even though I turned in the vehicle in the exact same condition in which I rented it.  

Enterprise has been doing what you describe for many years. I'm sure it is a very healthy addition to their bottom line. As as result, I stopped using Enterprise about 5 years ago. Now that you mention Budget is doing this same tactic, I expect that other vehicle rental agencies have picked up on the sleazy practice. Thank you for the warning. The only thing we can do is vote with our feet and select a rental company that doesn't employ these scams. It would be nice to know if there is some government agency to report these fake damage scams to put a stop to this type of abuse.
