Avis claims customer circled the globe in 3 days, charges her $8,079.76

I went to rent a car in Minneapolis airport from Enterprise. I just wanted a regular car for going downtown, make some errands, attend some work meetings and return to airport in one week. The guy told me “are you experienced in driving in snow?, because you may die in this weather conditions?, you should rent a big truck, this BWM is perfect for this weather”. I said “so all the NON SUVs or NON pickups in the street are in risk of dying”?, is that what you mean?". He said “well, not really. But are you experienced in driving automatic?”. I said “I have been driving manual for 20 years now, and automatic for 7 years now”. And he said “but a guy like you should drive a BMW, not a woman´s car”. So I said “I will drive none, bye bye”.

It is an obvious error on the 10 key. I have fat fingers and type really fast and sometimes a 7 is a 4 or a 4 is a 7, they are right on top of each other. Avis should notice this and correct its error. I mean how is it possible to be 77k going out but 41k coming in? This is so obvious it’s silly for it to get this big of an issue. I feel bad for this person, especially if they already deducted it from her bank because once they get the money she’ll have to pay a ton of legal fees to get it back and with the amount being that small it might not be worth it. Unfortunately, this is how our system is designed. However, if she is like most of us these days, she would not have that much money in her account, hopefully… for her sake.

They’re collecting interest (about 50 cents?) over that five days. Also, it’s possible the customer could pass away in five days from stress, and in that case Avis keeps all of it.
