If you go to Avis and rent a car for a weekend and pay them an upfront rental fee as agreed in their price list, do you get it back when you return the car? No you don't
Oh boy, you folks must be paid by vm to post on here......

If you rent a car, you do not pay for the entire cost of that car to rent it. You pay something called a rental fee, which is a fraction of what the car actually costs.

VM are not asking for a "upfront rental fee", they are asking customers to purchase the equipment and then pay again to rent it from vm. Bloody cheek it is too and I suspect illegal.

I'm going to look into this and if I'm right, I'm bringing out the big guns. If companies think they can do what they want, they will.
