At first I was wondering how this was even a topic of debate. The car that you rented from AVIS had a technical problem so they had to straighten that out. If anyone should have a right to charge for that problem it should be you because of the time you lost waiting for them to put it right (but I'm sure there's a clause in their contracts excluding these kinds of claims). But then I read this comment:

Are you saying that they have found a legal way to make their renting customers responsible for the technical integrity of their cars because they didn't pay for warranty? Is this something to be aware of when renting with AVIS (or any other company)? Please advise.
