| - RUN, RUN RUN. . . BARGAIN WITH DECEIT, NOT ON MY DIME!
I reserved a car on Orbitz. I picked up the phone and called the counter in Phoenix, asking if there would be any additional charges to what was quoted on Orbitz. I specificall asked them about unlimited mileage and "additional" driver charges for my spouse. I was assured that there would be no additional charges, if we had the same last name. The quote was $139
When I arrived at the counter, II heard the lady in front of my say, "That is not what I was quoted online. . ." When it was my turn, I faced the high pressure sales for a tank of gas, insurance coverage, etc. After getting thru all of that, they handed me my bill for $209!! I questioned the difference from the printed reservation for $139 I had in hand. They said it was for an "additional driver". I explained I had called and been informed there was NOT a charge for spouse. He said my record had no notations about a call. . . and there was nothing he could do about it. SO I CANCELLED MY RESERVATION AND WALKED AWAY. NOT giving my money to a deceitful company.
I actually went to another counter and PAID MORE for a rental, for the principle of the deal. . .at least I paid for what I was actually quoted. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHADY BUSINESS. . BTW, someone at the OTHER car rental company was there ALSO standing at the counter, because they had walked away from the 'PAYLESS. . ." counter.
