ANOTHER UPDATE
FEB. 21, 2025
My response to an email (in parenthesis below) that I received this morning:
Hello,
It was your billing mistake, so your company can/should have corrected your billing mistake as soon as Anwar called me on Feb. 18 and admitted your mistake!
Furthermore, I sent the attached signed form on Feb. 18, 2025. It is attached again.
Since, I believe your company is trying to commit fraud, I have copied our correspondence with your corporate office, and have posted them on Trustpilot and Yelp and I have formally contested the charge with my Credit Company.

(Hi,
I called you and left a message in regard to the refund. I haven't received the signed refund form yet. Please resend it to this email so we can process the refund.
Thanks)
UPDATE: 2/18/25
I will sign an attached refund form you sent me, and EDIT it to MEET my satisfaction. You made the mistake in billing me and I need you to reverse the charge of $704.49 removed immediately!
I will not sign a document releasing me of rights to dispute YOUR mistake on my credit card. It was your billing mistake.
Also, I returned my car damage free, and I am awaiting my $500 damage deposit to be refunded as well.
I will not relinquish my rights to dispute your errors until I see the amounts reversed on my credit card.
Rou was the agent who helped me and his manager on duty. I did not get her name. I paid for and reserved a 7 passenger SUV Dodge Durango or a similar vehicle in January. When I got there, they TOLD ME they had a Ford explorer for me for my fullsize SUV and that was the same price for what I reserved and paid for. I was asked for my insurance declarations page and agreed to pay for the SunPass (12.99 a day) and a $500 damage deposit. AND that was it. I have my receipt.
My cousin (and other family members were with) and we discussed an upgrade to a van, but Rou and the woman he was speaking with said that would be an ADDITIONAL $600. So I declined it. I didn't see or sign anything that was $600.
I returned the car damage free on Feb. 17, and I went inside to asked for a final receipt. An agent told me I would receive it as an email in about 20 minutes. I got on the shuttle, got on the plane and headed home.
Now, I have received a bill for $780.76 (including a $600 upgrade fee!). This bill discrepancy needs to be rectified immediately. As, I will be contacting my credit card company and contesting the $600 upgrade fee and alerting them that your company is trying to scam me. And to think, she asked me to give Rou and good review! FYI, I am a journalist, and I will also be posting my experience on Yelp, Cheap Air.com, your website and social media sites. And I will also be contacting the Florida Better Bureau!
