Anyway gave it the once over to see if any dents in it that were unreported. There werent so i drove off.  Dropped it back earlier today in perfect nick. Handed the keys to the alamo girl that inspects for new damage.  She looks at it and says there was a black bit of plastic missing from the boot door. I didnt know what she was on about. She then compares it to the same model car with the strip. Only then do i realise that my car  hadnt got the strip when i picked it up. You wouldnt cop that it was supposed to have one.  She said since i hadnt reported it they would have to charge me. They have charged me 600 ponds sterling for this and have already charged it to my credit card.Angry I can appeal but i will be turned down.  I was fooking furious. Its all a scam.  The thieving fookers!!!!!!!Angry

Good man TJ, I think the thing with these bastards is to not give in and wear them down. Took me about 3 months (for a far lesser amount). Why did they give in in the end?

fair play trap.
 
but unfortunately you're probably an exception as most people wouldn't bother fighting that long to get their money back. If I were you I wouldn't give up until you got the rest back too.

I booked thru a website called carhire 3000. After battling directly with alamo/europcar and getting no joy I just thought I'd ring up carhire3000 to see what they thought. Turns out when I booked the car I was covered for car excess insurance with car hire 3000 even though I hadnt taken out the insurance to remove the excess at the europcar desk when i picked up the car.  They gave europcar 28 days to show a repair invoice for the silver trim (even though i hadnt damaged a thing) and asked them how they can justify taking €637 from my account. So thats how I got a refund. I might go after the rest.

I am going to Birmingham for 2 days in a couple of weeks time.  I booked through a company called 'Interrent' or 'Autoeurope'.  Anyone have any experience of these lads?  I took out full insurance but fooking hate car rental companies as they are frequently scammers who try to catch you out with tiny scratches etc..

Even with full insurance I am wary of these bastards.

Enterprise are the cheapest out there and you can get excellent deals, havent heard anyone complaining about them, we use them for getting a van for our golf sim.

I rented a car last year in Italy and they gave me the keys and went through the car in good detail - the chassis was damaged underneath the car.

I went back in and told them and they marked it on the rental agreement, they could have nailed me proper if I hadn't of sussed it.

Some of these cowboys are on commission to find damage I'm sure. Got done there 5 years back.  So I'm wary as f**k of these scheisters Horse.

Might have a look into Enterprise Bob.  Was googling Interrent and seems they have a shady reputation.

I think with Enterprise if you book it early its very cheap but if you try it last minute then it's a lot more expensive. I'll chat to the fellah I work with as he books it and drives so he'd know better
