Comment on Dollar Rent a Car Refuel Scam by Joel

I was scammed by the Dollar rent-a-car gas scam in Las Vegas last month. I filled the tank up 5 minutes before returning the car. Naturally, I threw the receipt away, not realizing I would need it. When I returned the car the attendant said “the tank is not full,” I looked and saw that the fuel gauge needle was a “smidgen” below the “full” line…almost, but not quite touching it. That’s exactly where it had been when I first rented the car.
He said, “you don’t have a receipt I have to charge you for gas.”
I threw a temper tantrum at that point and went upstairs and screamed at the help upstairs, they just said without a receipt I would be charged.
That was a month ago and today I checked my bank statement,
they charged about $30 bucks…that’s a full tank of gas!
The original “Hot Links” email advertisement I received stated I could have a rental car for $14.95. By the time they and Dollar rent a car were finished tagging on spurious fees it was over $94.00. These companies are out of control!
