Avis Cape Town International Airport - ****ming to pay for pre-existing damage

I rented a vehicle from Avis Cape Town International Airport last week. The vehicle had pre-existing damage to the rear bumper. They are now trying to get me to pay for damages to the vehicle that was there when I collected the vehicle. It was probably missed in their previous inspection, and now seems to be trying to pin this on the next unlucky person who got that vehicle assigned to them. I will not be held liable for damages to a vehicle that I did not inflict. The vehicle inspection sheet even states and acknowledges pre-existing damage to the rear bumper.

Do not use Avis at Cape Town International Airport, they will try to make you pay for their own mistakes and oversights.
