Hey everyone, so I wanted to share a recent experience I had with my Avis President’s Club membership. Usually, when I rent a car, I have my card saved in my account, so I don’t have to show a physical card or interact with anyone except the gate attendant when I pick up the car. Last week, I rented a car for a weekend trip as usual. But here’s where it gets interesting – a few hours after I drove off with the car, I got an email receipt saying my rental had been modified and ended, and I was charged for just one day.
Naturally, I was a bit confused, so I called customer support right away. They assured me it was a system glitch and that I could carry on with my rental without any issues. I double-checked my credit card statement, expecting to see the usual hold of around $250, but there was nothing there. Strange, right? Anyway, I brushed it off and continued with my trip.
When I returned the car on Sunday, I received another email receipt showing a charge for just one day, and this time it was about $300 less than what I was expecting. Again, I checked my credit card, and still no charges or holds. The receipt even showed a card number ending in *RGE, which wasn’t my full card number.
Feeling a bit puzzled, I called customer support again on Monday. Unfortunately, they couldn’t give me any concrete answers and just mentioned that my rental was completed successfully. It’s been a week now, and there’s still no charge on my card. So, the big question is – did I just get a free rental?
I’ve never encountered this kind of situation before with my Avis membership. It’s a bit of a mystery, but hey, if it turns out to be a freebie, I won’t complain! Has anyone else ever had a similar experience? Let me know your thoughts on this curious rental saga.
