I and any other tourist that come to Antigua quite often will not stand for being ripped off by unsc

Recently I was in Antigua for Carnival and rented a vehicle from one of the rental companies at the airport. I had the vehicle for about three weeks but did not drive it frequently because I am writing a dissertation to get my PhD in public policy. When I returned, the vehicle to the rental company, I was accused of damaging the vehicle because there were scratches underneath the bumper.
When I received the vehicle I did not look under the bumper to see if there were scratches, so I cannot say for certain if the scratches were there. To make this short, the young lady at the counter who checked the vehicle back in said she could feel the scratches were new and was recently put there by me. She also accused another couple who was returning a vehicle of scratching and damaging the vehicle.
I can assure you, I will not rent another vehicle from a rental company in Antigua if I have to look under a bumper to see if there are scratches under the vehicle. To make matters wingate inn new orleans airport worse, the young lady disappeared for about 23 minutes with no explanation as to where she was going. In the meantime, I was due to catch a flight to New York so I left. I was finally wingate inn new orleans airport able to contact her after I was through airport security and told her I did not agree with her assessment of any vehicle damage.
The young woman threatened me with having the police come into the airport and remove me forcibly if I did not come back to the rental counter wingate inn new orleans airport to sign for damage to the vehicle. I told her she could send the police in because I was about to board my flight.
