Can I recover the extra amount charged by a car rental for scratching the rim of a car?

Hello,

While renting a car, we scratched the rim, and the rental car service charged us 2,000 AED, but the actual cost of repair is 150 AED.

Is it possible to get the money back through the Rental Dispute Center or any other way?

Hello,

You can file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Department of the emirate where you reside.

Obtain a written estimate or invoice from a reputable repair shop showing that the actual cost of repair is only AED 150.
