I've seen the "request" to fill up within x number of miles, but it has never been enforced.

It's hit and miss by location and brand. I've never been asked to show a receipt at ANY Dollar location, but Alamo in ATL once asked me for one and I didn't have it. They charged me $13 for fuel which I had credited at the kiosk.

I agree every renter is on their honor to fill up and we trust that they did.

I liked when Budget used to charge a flat fee, I think it was $13.50, if you drove under 75 miles. Saved time getting back to the airport.
