Re: [vpFREE] Re: car rental cancellation fees

At the very least, it is common courtesy to call to cancel reservations for
ANYTHING you won't be using, thereby making it available for someone else who
might want to use it.

At the very most, you'd avoid having to write & complain on this forum about
something that could have been taken care of with a 30 second phone call. Not to
mention the aggravation you are now going to go through to get the charge
canceled.

"I recently booked a minivan through Travelocity from Hertz in Bullhead City,
AZ. I ended up not needing the reservation and didn't pick it up. "

I'm wondering why you didn't just call and tell them you no longer needed the
van? I hate to say it, but it seems they may be correct in charging a fee for a
car that you reserved - therefore making it unavailable to others - and then
never picked up or otherwise let them know you didn't want it. I've been in
those places when they've run out of cars and people are sitting around waiting
and hoping to get one, so possibly (though unlikely) it did make a difference.
