What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

Last time I rented a car I declined their insurance and they were able to just use my daily car's policy.

Nice! For context for car rental: whenever I rent, it's a foreign country so my personal car insurance won't cover anything.

The last time I rented a car they tried to double charge me and tacked in an extra 200 in cleaning fees for good measure. I reversed the charge on the credit card as fraud, which the credit card company investigated and accepted as fraud, and reversed the charge. Now Hertz is threatening to take us to court over it. We disputed it and have essentially been ignoring them since.

The time before that, a "different company" tried to accuse me of stealing the car because they had the wrong car listed as the one we had rented.

If you are in NE Ohio, don't bother with a rental, they are likely to try to scam you.
