WARNING: Watch out for mileage charges

Rented a car this week using the same wizard number and AWD code as always. Rate was the same as always. Total estimated charges were as expected. When arriving at the airport I had to get a contract from the counter (very unusual for me) the car wasn’t waiting. Upon arrival at my destination I looked more closely at the printed page to discover that the rate did NOT include unlimited mileage. I booked it with the app and didn’t recall seeing anything about a mileage charge. Guess this is Avis’ way of saying Merry Christmas. Not sure if it’s a one off odd-ball occurrence or an attempt at increasing prices without increasing the base rate ala bag fees, seat fees, resort charges, etc.

Anyone else encountered this?
