Start by identifying the merchant, amount, currency, date, and transaction status. Then ask the rental company for an itemized final invoice and the records supporting the exact line item you dispute.
Check the rules for your rental company: Post-rental charges vary. Compare the signed rental agreement, return record, final invoice, and card statement. Some Airport Van Rental screens call the rental company the supplier.
Step 1: Check your statement
Confirm whether the transaction is pending or completed. The merchant name on the statement may differ from the rental company brand shown at pickup, so compare the amount and date with your rental documents.
Do not share a full card number, card security code, or unrelated account activity.
Step 2: Match the amount to the rental records
Post-rental items can include:
Fuel or charging
Late return or an additional rental day
Mileage
One-way or return-location changes
Tolls, fines, or administration
Cleaning or smoking
Missing equipment
Damage
Optional products accepted at pickup
Currency-conversion differences
A security-deposit adjustment
This list does not confirm that an amount is valid. Use the signed rental agreement and evidence for your rental.
Step 3: Request an itemized explanation
Ask the rental company for the signed agreement, checkout and return records, final invoice, calculation, and the clause supporting the amount. For damage, request the available condition records, photos, or damage report.
Step 4: Send a focused dispute
Identify the exact line item and explain why you dispute it. Attach only relevant evidence.

Still need help?
Contact the rental company first for charges created under the signed rental agreement. Contact Airport Van Rental if the amount relates to a booking payment, appears to duplicate an amount shown as paid on the voucher, or the rental company remains unresponsive. Contact RentalCover only about a RentalCover policy or claim.
