B.C. Attorney General Investigating Budget Licensee
Since accusations were published from customers and employees that Budget Rent-A-Car of B.C. is overcharging customers for damage, the Attorney General of B.C. is now investigating the licensee for fraud, according to CBC News' Go Public investigative news segment.
In its third segment in a series of articles, CBC News' Go Public investigative news segment reported Nov. 26 that Budget Rent-A-Car of B.C., a licensee, is now under investigation for fraud by the B.C. Attorney General Shirley Bond.
The Budget licensee, the owner of which also owns the repair shop Budget uses, is being accused of allegedly overcharging for damage claims.
