237. The Rental Car (2)

Ryan and Amelia traveled in the rented Buick Tucson to attend a weekend gem and mineral ; the big national show was every April. They browsed. Amelia was partial to natural, unpolished stones. that she particularly liked was priced at $1,600. “’ll get that one as soon as we hit lotto,” Ryan promised her. She rolled her eyes.

back from Tucson, Ryan swerved into the emergency to avoid a ladder in the number four . The emergency lane itself had pieces of metal other trash in it, but he safely evaded ladder. Ten miles later, he saw a bumper the fast lane and a wheel rim in number two lane. “These freeways are turning into ,” Ryan muttered. They returned the rental car at :45 p.m. Sunday.

The bill in today’s mail was $430.55, charged to Ryan’s VISA card. Apparently, some from the emergency lane had damaged the Buick’s conditioning system. “I told you to buy their insurance,” Amelia yelled. “When are you going to to me?”

Ryan said that he wasn’t going pay this bill. That Buick air conditioner had died last November, he thought. He dialed VISA dispute the bill. If VISA didn’t help him the bill, he’d talk to his own auto company. Surely they would reimburse him if he to pay this bill.
