The Problem

Tiago rented a car in Madeira for a week (€280). Upon return, he was charged an additional €420 for "damage" - a small scratch that was already documented on the pickup form. The rental company insisted the charge was valid.

Excellent. This is a clear case of an unjustified charge. The pickup inspection form is legally binding evidence of the car's pre-existing condition.
