Returned rental with full tank of gas, zero damage, and in clean condition and still got charged $50 because it wasn't, as Vonnie the on-duty supervisor stated: Rental ready clean. She explained that I'd need to wash and detail clean the interior of the car to avoid this fee. This is because as she explained, they use a 3rd party vendor who charges them $100, so they charge me $50 as a result. This is very disappointing to me since as an Elite Lyft driver, I shouldn't be treated like this. I've rented with another FlexDrive outside of Maryland in the past and this wasn't an issue.
Being charged for this location's car cleaning agreement with a 3rd party company is ridiculous to me and this policy needs to change immediately. Until then, get it professionally cleaned before you return it or make sure you have an extra $50 for their additional cleaning fee charge they will add to your Lyft account. read more
