Gentle warning about Rental car excesses.

[Mr_Gimlet]

Nevertheless, it would be interesting to know what the ACCC view on it is. The way I see it, is that if I hire a car, as a consumer, with an excess of $3000, then that is the maximum I should have to pay.

I agree with Mark. The ACCC rules are about 'misleading'. When you sign the waivers on the agreement, it says 'excess 2000 accepted'. This seems like misleading conduct to me if it is really 2000+++.
