I was ****MED and ******** by Avis OR Tambo and Lephalale

I was ******** by AVIS OR Tambo and Avis Lephalale Worst experience ever. The incompetence is unacceptable. I rented a car for 1 day and drove it through to another location OR Tambo. Returned the car in less than 24 Hours. Firstly, I had to beg for my contract as they did not send it immediately. Then, they claimed I had it for 6 minutes longer even though I had photos stamped with date and time. I took a super cover to ensure that I am covered for anything. They have claimed damages but cannot substantiate them. They sent a report with photos of the tyre damage which I took cover for but then want to claim it separately. The photos were taken on the day I returned it. Then they sent another breakdown of costs claiming I had the vehicle for 5 and a half days even though it has been sitting in their parking lot since!!! This is classified as ********* and swindling business practice! They don't want to return my deposit. Their customer care number does not go through and cuts you off when you press the option. I am NEVER renting with them EVER again!
