My bank balance seemed off yesterday, so I went online to check it out... This Avis charged me $130 in addition to the amount I actually paid for the reservation on Priceline... Excuse me? Now, I paid for the upgrade which was $10 daily and apparently there is a 32% tax which brought the total up to $52 for the upgrade and completely destroyed my savings, but fine... That was my fault... The other charges? They charged me for GAS! Yeah... Remember the previous review where I noted that I had to leave the lot and head to the gas station for $3.59 a gallon to make sure it was completely filled up? Somehow they found a way to open the gas tank and shove another $80 worth of gas in there... What? The almost receipt (their system could not completely check in my car at the time and they gave me a basic slip of paper with a note that they would mail me a full receipt, which I have yet to receive) showed the fuel gauge was on 8 (full) from a scale of 0-8 after I took the car down the street, topped the tank off and brought it back... Somehow they still saw fit to charge me for gallons and gallons of gas... Apparently now it will take anywhere from three to five days for me to get my money back... The only reason they have not gotten a single star is that the person I spoke with about on the phone seemed to understand that this was some sort of mix up on their end and offered to fix it without giving me the runaround (so far)... I'll definitely be providing an update whenever this is resolved... \n\nI hate that Priceline does not let you pick your vendor... I was so surprised when everything went relatively smooth because I have had issues with this company in the past... Here we go again, Avis... Ugh.
