We rented a car from Enterprise in Phoenix. When we picked up the car, a representative inspected it with us. My husband noted a couple small marks, but she said we shouldn’t worry because “anything under four inches” was waived. Not only weren’t they waived, but they added up to around $500!
When I returned the vehicle, all check-in procedures ran normally, and I was sent on my way. The next day, I received an unsigned email from “Damage Recovery Unit” asking for my insurance company information.
