San Francisco, Highway 1, Los Angeles

The staff was friendly, and the pick-up and drop-off process was quick.

Due to language barriers, I unknowingly signed a local insurance document. Customer service failed to resolve this issue, but eventually, an American friend helped contact the rental company and got the local charges canceled.

The environment wasn't very clean with some trash around. They required me to buy a full tank of fuel and suggested returning the car empty, claiming that gas prices in Los Angeles were much higher than in San Francisco. This arrangement seemed a bit deceitful. The price for a full tank was locked at $3.xx per gallon, which was higher than the average gas price in San Francisco, which is usually around $2.77 per gallon. Additionally, it’s hard to return a car completely empty; I still had nearly half a tank. Many gas stations in Los Angeles also have prices around $2.77 per gallon. So, returning the car with an empty tank is a rip-off. The rental company should have offered an option to return the car with a full tank, but the staff didn't give any choice and just completed the paperwork. Being new to the place, I had no option but to accept it.

There was a bit of a line when picking up the car at San Francisco Airport, waited for about ten minutes. The car was in good condition with a decent selection of models. Returning the car near Los Angeles Airport was very convenient and quick, just checked the engine start and general condition, took only three minutes. Overall, this car rental company is pretty good.

The car was in good condition, and returning it was convenient. However, we faced a long line to pick up the car, probably because it was cheap. The staff had a good attitude, and there were no issues.
