Improper deduction of my money by AVIS RENT A CAR

Rental agreement number *** bears reference.

To my shock, R5 303.12 was debited off my account by Avis Rent A Car whereas on the occasions that I took cars from Avis besides the tyre puncture and windscreen chip, upon inspection there were not scratches or dents identified. Moreover the afore-mentioned damages i.e. tyre puncture and windscreen chip are covered under the extra cover that I took when entering into the rental contract. There was an instance after a day or so of returning the white 3 series BMW, I was informed that a scratch was discovered which was a surprise considering that when I was dropping the car off, no scratch had been discovered. Obviously, this is suspicious because anything may happen from when I drop the car off and whatever else takes place thereafter.

Therefore, it comes as a shock that I am indebted to Avis and without prior warning, I am st********** my money!

Thank you for providing the information, the amount you referring was held, upon the branch closing of the rental. It is still pending so we will request for your bank to release it back to your available balance.

We have sent a our Branch Manager and email to enquire why the additional amount was held though. Once we have feedback from them we will get back to you.

Thank you.
