Rented a car from Dollar on 4/2 to 4/8 at Orlando Intl. Airport. Clerk at the desk asked if I wanted insurance to which I declined. He then rushed me through the POS screens telling me to keep hitting next until the signature appeared. I trusted him, which was a mistake. I later found a $179.18 charge on my credit card. I contacted dollar and was rudely told that I signed for it so I'm responsible. That may be true, but this appears to be a scam they run on countless tourists. Everyone knows how rushed it is at the airport, and how they want to push you out to get to the next customer. While I may not get my money back, I feel it is my duty to have this practice looked into.
This is a scam that must bring in a lot of money for Dollar, as not too many people have the time to check the transaction while at the counter. My daughter also rented a car from Dollar at the same time, she too declined the extra insurance, was rushed through like I was, and ultimately was also charged $179.18. Multiply this by who knows how many unsuspecting tourists Dollar is scamming, they must be realizing heavy profits. I filed a complaint with the Florida Attorney General, and see on their web site they already have an investigation on Dollar for other unscrupulous charges. I urge everyone who's been ripped off by Dollar to file a complaint. They're nothing but thieves.
