SINGAPORE: There were 16 cases of car rental scams last year and a quarter of such cases occurred during the Hari Raya period, says the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).

Complaints included overcharging and car companies not meeting contract requirements.

With Hari Raya just round the corner, CASE is advising consumers to read rental agreements carefully before signing it and also ensure proper insurance coverage.

CASE adds that claims should be put in writing to prevent potential disputes and consumers should not sign blank forms.
