Avis should have inspected the vehicle immediately upon return and notified you of any issues right away. Anything could have happened in the three days between dropping off the car and inspection. Although California's Civil Code Section 1936 doesn't require rental companies to provide detailed invoices for post-return charges, it strictly regulates how charges must be calculated, disclosed and justified. If you dispute a charge, the burden is on the rental company to prove its validity through itemized documentation.
