Waited nearly an hour to pick up the car. The staff was very friendly, but we were tricked because of the language barrier. Be sure to use translation software to read the terms before signing.

The car pickup was slow, making customers wait for almost an hour; the car was not in good condition, as soon as we hit the highway, it warned us that a tire pressure was low, making us nervous throughout; contacting the rental car customer service to return the car, we were told they could only try to apply, with no guarantee of success; reluctantly, we had to visit a repair shop the next day to check if the tire needed repair or the car needed replacement. Initially, a repair shop employee checked the tire and suggested we change the car due to poor tire condition. Since the Los Angeles airport store was too far, we tried the Pasadena store to see if we could swap cars. However, they told us they had no available cars and found no issues with the tire after their inspection, leaving us confused. Finally, to avoid trouble, we decided to use the car temporarily but had to abandon our plan to drive to San Francisco and only explored Los Angeles and nearby areas for immediate assistance, if needed. Luckily, no major issues occurred in the following days.

Long wait in line, average service attitude.

The staff were slow, and they all looked grumpy as if they hadn't slept. It took 40 minutes to get the car, which is longer than passing through US customs.

The car was very new, with only 20,000 kilometers on it. Picking up and returning the car was very convenient. Avis strongly recommended us to rent a GPS, but since the BMW i-Drive system comes with onboard GPS, it felt a bit like a rip-off. However, we ended up renting it because their GPS supported 4G Wi-Fi hotspots and free international calls, though we only used it for internet and calls.
