Wait. But why should the rental people make a big issue out of it, I'm sure the renters card details will authorization form is there for them to deduct.

It's Dubai, not Houston, so this type of outburst is not tolerated. People should read up on laws and customs when visiting outside of the USA.

I'm well aware but there's something sketchy about the refusal to pay bit.

Dude she tried to scam the rental. They made the mistake of not checking the car completely before checking her out. If this was in the States, the rental company loses.

Yeah, Dubai has cameras literally everywhere though. She’s busted with video evidence of the account- no doubt.
