Avis Budget (CAR) is just a hopeless dog

A couple of years ago I rented a car from Budget Rent-a-car. I had no complaints.

But now I've discovered that they're simply a bunch of crooks. They can't run anything competently and you should stay away from their stock and their products.

I got a check in the mail. A $10 check. It's one of those things that just unfolds and the check is on part of the perforated envelope, no insert, no explanation. Just a $10 check.

In the very, very small print on the back of the check it says that by endorsing the check that I'm authorizing them to charge 60 something dollars to the credit card I'd previously used to rent a Budget car. Just a scam. An amauterish attempt to sell me a Nigerian bank account or something.

These guys are just crooks. There's no other way to characterize the clowns that run Avis Budget.
