I agree with all the above, and I also get the insurance.

My CC offers insurance to cover the damage, but not loss of use, meaning if it is off the lot and can't be rented, I'm liable for paying for the time they can't rent it. I just buy the insurance and if something happens, I don't care, because it is their problem.

Make it extremely difficult for them and they will eventually give up.

I've used Avis for years and never had this type of problem with them. Strange.
