I am quite familiar with the rental industry and can firmly attest that (at least at most locations of most companies), something like this is most definitely an oversight.

Some franchise operators may be a bit less than scrupulous, but PSP is a corporate-owned location, and I have never found a corporate location of DTG to be participating in outright fraud. Incompetence or lack of attention to some details, maybe, but not willful fraud.
