Happy to report I've been advised by the Vice President for Franchise Operations for Avis/Budget that the credit card hold policy at Budget Las Vegas has been updated to mirror the corporation’s credit card hold policy; that is, the cost of the rental or $200, whichever is greater.

Positive kudo's to the responsiveness and concern of Avis/Budget executives who when presented with consumer confusion, promptly responded with a real implemented solution.

Much appreciated. I know I've given Avis/Budget plenty of grief over the years, but I'm the very first to say thank you and applaud when they make renting a car more simpler and transparent.

Public thank you!
