Unfair charge

Everything was going well until the day I had to return the car. Because of load shedding I was 30 minutes overdue and I called the office to notify them that it is beyond my control and I will not make it on time.

The following day, my account was debited for a daily rate because of the 30 minutes that I reported before the time lapsed.

Dear valued customer 



In response to your feedback, kindly our billing system is based on a 24 hour cycle we allow a grace period of 59 minutes and thereafter charge for an additional day 

You were supposed to return the vehicle at the same time it was collected or within  the 59 minutes grace period  this is noted also on your rental agreement 

I am so sorry that i was not able to assist 

Thank you so much for the support 

Kind regards,
Nonhlanhla Dlomo

Nonhlanhla,

It was load shedding, not my fault and they billed after 30 minutes.

Kindly note our billing is based on a 24 hour cycle, we allow a grace period of 59 minutes and thereafter charge for an additional day in this case you returned the vehicle late hence you billed for an additional day.

How are you ensuring that I am happy when I tell you that I'm not? It doesn't make sense, make it make sense please!
