The queue for renting a car was too long, but there are many car models to choose from, which allows finding a great deal.

We are 4 adults and 2 kids, and rented a 7-seater SUV on a car rental website. When we arrived at ALAMO in the USA, they told us the trunk space wasn't big enough and asked us to pay $490 to upgrade to a Dodge minivan. When we requested to see the car, they said none were available at the moment. We called the car rental website's customer service to negotiate, but the rental company's attitude was very impatient. Because we were pressed for time, we had to pay the $490. Including the ¥4152 paid on the website, renting the car for 6 days cost over ¥7000. We felt cheated!

The company is pretty good, with warm and convenient service. However, during this rental, the counter staff kept insisting on adding insurance, saying that the previously included insurance did not cover crashes. Thinking of many people's complaints, I insisted on not buying, and found out it was the right choice.

Clearly selected a mid-to-large SUV on the website (more expensive) but was given the option of a compact city SUV (listed at a lower price) upon arrival in the US. The time spent waiting for and choosing the car was included in the rental period. Despite this, I managed to choose a newer car (with lower mileage), but ended up paying extra for a higher-grade vehicle and wasted 40 minutes waiting for it.

I paid in full online, but the store staff informed me that in the LA area, it's mandatory to buy personal insurance or you can't pick up the car. I rented the car for about a month, which cost roughly 700 USD, but they mandated purchasing insurance for over 500 USD. Has anyone else encountered this requirement?
