Hired a car from Avid Budget in Malta and was told there would be 1550 Euros pre authorised on my card. Returned car and noticed my card had been charged the 1550 amount. Spoke to Avis who keep telling me 'oh no your card hasn't been charged'. Spoke to bank 'yes you have been charged'. Now wasting time chasing re-payment. Never again. Appalling lack of care and they never respond.
