We initially chose Dollar because they had the lowest prices, likely due to a big promotional event. This made the place quite crowded, and we had to wait almost two hours in line for our turn. The representative who assisted us was a Chinese-speaking person, which made us feel at ease, but he was very persuasive in selling additional services. Although we had already purchased comprehensive insurance that included roadside assistance when we booked from home, the clerk mentioned that the assistance might only cover towing for 5-10 miles. This made it hard to decide on the spot, and for an additional $7 per day, we decided to purchase it. He also sold us a full-tank gas option, saying it would be convenient to return the car with an empty tank since gas prices in California were high. Perhaps due to the long wait and feeling hungry, we ended up buying this service too, adding another $89 to our bill. In hindsight, it wasn't really necessary, as we had to carefully plan our refueling to take advantage of this offer. When it was time to choose a car, most of the options were gone because of the crowd, and we couldn't get the Chevrolet Suburban LS SUV we wanted. We spent another half hour in the parking lot and eventually settled for a Nissan SUV. We had six people and a lot of luggage, so we had to fold down one of the rear seats to fit our 28-inch suitcase. Returning the car was similar; with our additional shopping bags, we had to fold down the third row completely to fit two 28-inch suitcases, two 24-inch suitcases, and one 20-inch suitcase, plus several large backpacks. It was a bit crowded with two adults and two children in the second row, but fortunately, the hotel was close to the airport drop-off point.
Convenient pick-up process with clear instructions. Remember to ask if third-party insurance is included. We ended up spending $17 per day purchasing $2 million third-party insurance ourselves.
It's unbelievably bad, they try to scam you at every opportunity. Charged us hundreds of dollars upfront and refused to refund even after we declined additional services. They inexplicably charged city taxes at $75 per city, and an extra $60 for returning the car one hour late. The worst part was trying to replace our rented luxury SUV with a regular Nissan. After refusing, we were made to wait a long time, only to find several matching models in the parking lot. Truly a dishonest rental company with no merits! We still haven't received several thousand dollars back!!!
A perfect car rental experience, the car's performance and condition were excellent. During this trip, we had two incidents,
First, at the hotel in Monterey, we broke the rear car window while parking. We immediately contacted the rental office. Unlike other parts of the car, the window had to be fixed urgently to avoid hindering the trip. Much praise to the rental company for having a similar car sent over from San Francisco that night. They drove three hours and delivered it to us at 4 AM!
Second, on the way from Big Sur to Bakersfield, we accidentally took a very dangerous mountain road. We drove for two hours along a winding cliffside road and were very worried about the car's condition. But the car performed splendidly even on such a challenging road, thanks to its powerful engine. We appreciate the rental company and have decided to continue renting a car for our trip to Los Angeles on the 15th.
The pick-up point was easy to find. Just take the light rail after exiting airport security. The Asian customer service representative was very friendly.
Probably you should notify your employees that you use third party for bookings as well.
