Nice to see the hire car boys are still refunding foreign currency fuel deposits a few pence less than the original amount, (just less than a quid)! Not big enough for me to justify going to the trouble of a long drawn-out telephone call, but X however many vehicles they must rent out in a day worldwide, a nice little earner maybe?

Has anyone here ever been in profit when this has happened to them, because in 20 years of doing this, I cannot recall it ever happening to me.

Maybe they are in cahoots with the banks, (no pun intended)!

I would never hire a car from anybody who requires a fuel deposit and I never hire from anybody who has a "Take it full, return it empty" policy either. In fact I have never been asked for a fuel deposit.
