Charged twice?
I rented a compact car from Chase Ultimate Rewards for $53--paid in September. This was my first time and I am 23 (subject to those nasty fees...).
When I rented the car this weekend, I gave them the receipt and my confirmation, and I was promised it would be put forth on the total. Looking at my receipt now in the airport, it looks like they charged me $60. No way to tell from my CC as only the deposit is showing now, but is it possible they charged me twice?
I see on my original receipt the verification that I had a "2 day pass." Although, nothing of the sort on my final receipt? Is it possible that this is the $25/day under 24 fee with tax?
Thought I would get some information before I call and complain!

I have no idea healthnut but I hope you did file a complaint! How did it turn out?
Reading over it again I think that the $60 is including the extra taxes.

You wouldn't have had to pay "those nasty fees" if you had used free Hertz Gold Family, hertz.com/goldfamily. A quick search of these forums will explain how it works.

Sorry I'm a little late getting back!
I sent in a complaint this morning, so we shall see what they say. I wanted to hear on here first whether I was thinking ridiculously or not. Very frustrating as the agent promised me again and again that my CC would not be charged and only used for incidentals. I will get to the bottom of this!
I will look into Hertz! I rarely rent a car so I've never come across this before, but it's good to know there are other options.

I sent an email, but wanted to follow up with a phone call and get an email address of where I could send my receipts for both the charges with Chase UR Mall and the receipt I received from the agent. Waited on the line for 20 minutes before hanging up.
Do they get back with email responses within a decent time frame?
Looks like they have poor customer service! Thank goodness it's just $60.

Any reply yet? If you make another call, and don't immediately get an answer, I'd start a dispute with your credit card company.

I never got a reply to the complaint, even though they sent me a "case number" and promised to get back to me in 8-11 days. I disputed with Chase at the end of last month and sent them all the proof via receipts. So far they've heard nothing from Thrifty so I assume they've accepted the loss.

That was it!
Thanks for the tips. I am a USAA member, so I will do that next time or put my loyalty into Hertz! I wish I would have come to you guys two months ago!
