When I arrived at the store, I showed the clerk my car rental order and said 'I have already paid all the fees through a third-party platform.' I emphasized this again, especially when he asked for my credit card, saying, 'I have paid all the fees, I will not pay any more.' This male clerk kept saying he understood, but then he said because I was not a local resident, I needed to swipe my credit card. It turned out to be an extra service charge of $368.97, despite me making it clear, 'I will not pay for any other fee.' I am preparing to file a complaint locally in the US and request to check the footage of that day. Fight against this fraudulent store to the end!

Good

Purchased insurance, but they still tried to upsell.

1. The service attitude at Thrifty's Los Angeles branch is terrible, from the manager to the regular staff. They refuse to resolve the reimbursement issue for the oil change expense, have a bad attitude, and refuse to communicate, making the customer experience very poor! 2. The online customer service is unreliable. I called the rental company hotline in the US to file a complaint, and the customer service representative promised to email me within 1-2 days with a progress update or result. However, it has been a week, and I have not received any emails, not even an acknowledgment of my complaint! This makes me feel that the customer service did not report my complaint at all. 3. The internal communication of the rental company is extremely chaotic. After discovering an issue with the car, I called the roadside assistance hotline for a solution. The service personnel asked me to add oil immediately; otherwise, it would affect the vehicle's performance and could lead to an accident. After repeatedly confirming, the customer service assured me that I could get reimbursed when returning the car. I added the oil and covered the expenses. However, when I finally returned the car, the Los Angeles branch refused to reimburse me, stating, 'You should have bought the roadside assistance insurance, then you would have been able to replace the car for free.' This is extremely frustrating! This incident not only disrupted my schedule but also affected my travel mood, and in the end, they even withheld my reimbursement. It's absolutely intolerable!

La espera para recoger el auto fue de 4 horas, totalmente desproporcionado. Solo tenían 3 personas atendiendo para más de 100 esperando, y por lo visto es la práctica habitual de esta compañía.
