Other Tourist Scams in Charlottetown

Rental Car Hidden Damage Charges

Car rental companies operating at the Charlottetown Airport charge tourists for minor pre-existing damage such as paint chips, wheel scuffs, and windshield micro-cracks that were present before the rental. Island roads, particularly gravel sections near Cavendish, naturally expose vehicles to minor debris. Customers who did not document the vehicle condition at pickup with photographs have limited means to dispute charges that can reach $300-800.
