Overall satisfied

When we picked up the car, the staff told us that the car we reserved wasn't available, and we needed to upgrade to another car. However, he didn't inform us that the upgrade was free. This isn't the main issue. The main issue is that he told us it would cost $261. My friend and I agreed to it at the time, then he asked for our credit card. He didn't mention any other charges, and when he swiped the card, he didn't confirm with us beforehand. He handed us the receipt without letting us verify the charges and asked us to sign. Due to my limited English, I didn't fully understand the receipt and assumed there wouldn't be any additional problems since we booked through the website. Later, when I checked my bank statement, I found out they had charged more than $700 without informing us. When I complained, it was ineffective. This incident ruined the rest of my trip. Originally, renting the car was supposed to cost me around 5,000 RMB, but due to the website's issues, it caused me significant financial loss, and the website didn't take responsibility.

The company is quite large, with branches in various regions. There are many vehicle options available. I initially wanted to rent a Grand Cherokee, but at the counter they said it was unavailable. They offered either a Santa Fe or a more expensive Ford Edge, which I did not agree to. However, when I went to the parking lot to pick up the car, I was pleasantly surprised with a 2017 high-end GMC. It had only run over 13,000 miles, essentially a new car. Midway, the car showed a need for an oil change. I contacted customer service, and they provided three options: continue driving if the car was in good condition, switch to another car, or find a repair shop for an oil change and then get reimbursed. Later, I went to the Salt Lake City branch to exchange for another car, but they only had a mini van. So, I opted to get an oil change at a repair shop, which cost over $50 with tax. The refund was processed smoothly when I returned the car. Overall, it was a pretty smooth experience.

The ALAMO store at San Francisco Airport was easy to find. Showing the printed order, translation document, driving license, and credit card allowed us to complete the process quickly. The staff recommended insurance for $5 per day, which covered glass damage, so we bought it. We took the order form to the parking lot, chose a white Mustang, and the key was inside the car. We started the car and drove off. Someone at the exit checked the order. It was very simple. Returning the car was also very straightforward. It was easy to find near Los Angeles Airport. The staff scanned the car's barcode and issued a receipt with a handheld device, which concluded the process efficiently.
