Excellent

They first gave us a Nissan with over 30,000 kilometers and stains on both front seats. We asked for a change at the counter and were given a car slightly larger than a Mini Cooper. They insisted it was the same class. I explained that we couldn't fit three people and three pieces of luggage, but the counter staff said the SUVs I booked were usually for two people, implying we needed an extended version for more than two. The lot had many SUVs the same size as the Nissan, but the counter said they were all booked and only these two cars were available. We ended up taking the stained car. The price is high, but we chose this company for the Chinese roadside assistance, hoping we never need to use it.

From 2014 to 2016, I went on self-driving trips to the US three years in a row, experiencing three rental companies: Dollar, Alamo, and Hertz. In 2015 and 2016, I booked through zhuche.com, and I was quite satisfied with their service. This time, I rented from Hertz, which is known as a big company, but my experience was just average. First, the service attitude: It's a plus that they didn't try to upsell insurance, but the front desk service was just passable. They didn't demonstrate how to use the E-pass, and there was an additional $20+ equipment fee for the E-pass that wasn't mentioned beforehand. The rental contract has too much content and the font is too small to read in a short time. So, an average rating. Second, the vehicle provided: I originally booked a RAV4, but it wasn't available, so they gave me a Jeep Compass. The car's space was small, everything except the gear was manually adjusted, high fuel consumption, and low power. There was a strong and unpleasant perfume smell in the car. A poor rating. In terms of vehicle quality, Alamo is the best. I strongly recommend future renters to choose Alamo if the prices are similar.

Overall good experience. Picking up and returning the car was very convenient, just as expected from a big international company.

Customer service reps could not have been more helpful. Really pleased with whole experience.

Smooth online process.
