I know rental car companies are cesspools of hidden charges, so I read my contract well and signed carefully. Before getting the car, they gave me two extra copies to sign and it is only later I find that the extra copies were actually different from the one I signed first.
The version I ended up with in my hand had several differences - a daily "highway helper" charge had been added, a one-time fee for an upgrade had be changed to a daily fee... But my initials are there and I don't have a leg to stand on as they only have the second version of what I signed.
Fortunately the little rip offs only add up to $30 or so, but multiply that by everyone who walks in their door...
I guess you can tell a scamming company when you call corporate HQ and the first option is for collections. Seems some have been scammed for many more dolalrs than I was. Avoid advantage rent-a-car.
