Budget Rent a Car's Vancouver-area operations are facing increased scrutiny as B.C. Attorney General Shirley Bond confirms provincial agencies are investigating allegations of fraud at several locations.
CBC News has spoken with Budget customers and former employees who accuse the company of grossly overcharging customers for minor repairs that sometimes aren’t even done.
"There will be a fair process to look at whether the allegations are true or not," Bond said.
"It is being taken very seriously and I don’t accept the fact that consumers should be treated inappropriately in this province and I expect the processes to be rigorous and examine the allegations."
Vancouver area Budget franchises are owned by Syd Belzberg, a prominent businessman who has won awards for philanthropy.
