Some these car rental companies need refrigeration. Hertz Not the only rental company that leases client problems right away. Vancouver Store News about North Shore reported that Avis is charging a Canawoman dian $6,000 after saying she drove the equivalent of more than 333 miles per her rental hours.
It all started when a Giovanna Boniface rented a GMC Yukon from Toronto International Airport on August 13 to help her daughter get back to college. She only had rent for three days and she only drove 105 miles in total. But afAfter returning the car, she noticed the rental charges as she was boarding her flight. The receipt said she drove 22,668 miles in 68 hours for a total cost of $6,150.31. All charged to her credit card.
You do not’It doesn’t take a genius or an algorithm to realize that that kind of distance in time isn’t really humanly possible. But News about North Shore broke it down to show that Yukon can’t even do it:
If Boniface skipped all the hand-washing and gas-filling stops, she would have to maintain a speed of 536.5 kilometers an hour or 148.8 meters a second to cover the distance Avis claims she did. . That would be the top speed of the fastest drag racer and significantly higher 176 km/h that the SUV can achieve.
Boniface points out that with the right bridges under construction, she only needs to drive from Toronto to visit family in Cape Town, South Africa, and back is still a few thousand kilometers away.
If she started driving around the circumference of the Earth at the equator, she would cover 91% of the distance.
A long math-way of saying it’s impossible.
Boniface said she and her husband tried to contact Avis customer service. She said it took more than 90 minutes before they reached someone. And when she did, they didn’t seem to care and continued to stalk her.

“And they don’t really care. I asked to be moved to a supervisor, because sometimes that’s what you need to do and they just hang up on me. And I don’t know if they did it on purpose, but I just kept getting hung up,” she said Northern short news. She contacted her credit card company to dispute the charges, but it was a 45-day process, and fees have been made.
Luckily, after being contacted for comment by News about North Shore, Avis promptly contacted Boniface and apologized and informed her the refund would be processed for her in 3-5 business days. At least Avis was quick about it. But you have to wonder what would have happened if this story hadn’t made it to the news.
