THISIS A MAJOR SCAM
THISIS A MAJOR SCAM, AVOID IT AT ANY COSTS. I am a frequent traveller, also Hungarian, so not new to the country or to car rentals. I chose Hertz because years ago I was their returning costumer and they seemed to be a trustworthy provider. Nothing stayed from this attitude! I rented a car which had a number of damages, so I took several pictures, videos, even asked their staff to check the car with me to make sure nothing is overlooked with the handover. I returned the car a few days later when the staff inspecting it referred to alleged damages (I could not even see them) BELOW the car, and INSIDE the car, next to the back seats. The back seats were not used at all, it is physical impossibility to have caused any damage there and all along I handled the car with extremely great care. The staff said he will mark what he assumes to see, but I may not be charged for anything. A few minutes later I received a bill for 538 (!) euros (magically, the same amount as previous commenters in Google say). It does look like they have a standard amount they try to scam out of people. It is absolutely outrageous such a scam is allowed to operate at Budapest Airport. Avoid it any costs.
