You're right, something is not quite right with this Budget cleaning fee. For starters, the damage report has several photos that show several tiny white strands in the vehicle. A Budget employee could have vacuumed them away during the cleaning.
But there's another, even bigger problem. When I asked you to review the bill again to make sure they were charging the right renter, you discovered a discrepancy that should have immediately made Budget zero out your cleaning fee.
You can prevent unnecessary cleaning fees by taking before and after photos of your car and ensuring that you clean the vehicle before bringing it back to the location.
While we're on the topic of cleaning fees for pets, it's definitely a thing. Budget has a reputation for charging these fees, which can go as high as $450.
