We just came back from a wonderful time in Aruba, except for one problem. We arrived in Aruba and went to Avis where we had reservations made through Travelocity. I should have known there was a problem because the two people in front of me were complaining that they were being charged more than their contract rate. I presented my contract, got a receipt that had the same weekly rate on my contract. I then took the car.

When we got back to return the car, I was given the full bill that included two extra charges under miscellaneous. they totaled over $70. more than my contract rate. I argued with the woman but she said that these were new charges. She said one was for the airport for new construction and the other was for Avis for a new building. Having to catch a plane I had to leave after paying the full bill with my credit card.

Needless to say I chalenged the bill with travelocity and was told a couple of days later that Avis has agreed to refund me the $71.00 for the extra charges.

Beware.
