Beware of malicious extra charges. The actual contract provided may be inconsistent with what was ordered on Zuzuche. There are hidden charges that can trap consumers. They discreetly add extra fees to exploit customers.

They tried to upsell roadside assistance and recommended an upgrade when picking up the car. Our order included a free tank of fuel, but the store said it didn't. We complained to the car rental company when picking up the car, and they told us we didn't need to return the car with a full tank. Now, we've received a charge notification after returning the car and are dealing with after-sales service. The vehicle wasn't well-maintained, had a lot of noise, and was unstable at high speeds.

AVIS is a fairly large car rental company with rental points right at the airport, which is very convenient. The queue and rental process were also fairly smooth and quick. However, be aware that the free GPS mentioned by QEEQ is not provided locally but needs to be arranged well in advance in your home country. We missed this detail and ended up paying over $300 locally, which felt like a bit of a rip-off. Also, some of the GPS units are not fully translated into Chinese, so be extra cautious.

It's necessary to explain this in detail. When picking up the car, due to schedule changes, I arrived at the store the night before the reserved date. The clerk told me the convertible Mustang I reserved was unavailable. I said it's fine to switch to a hardtop Mustang and asked if the price was the same. The clerk assured me it was. I also asked if picking up the car that night would change the price compared to picking it up the next morning. The clerk said the car would be charged based on the actual rental days, so if it's still three days, the price remains the same. He kept telling me the prices were the same and that there were no additional charges or extra insurance, just the pre-selected insurance from the reservation. He guided me to sign the paperwork. However, when I returned the car, they charged me over $170 more, nearly 60% extra. I immediately questioned the clerk onsite, and she said she couldn't explain it. She said it should match the prepaid amount and didn't know why it was extra, telling me to contact customer service (which, absurdly, is not 24/7 but only during weekday office hours). Since it was a weekend, and I was flying back to my country on Monday, I directly contacted the car rental platform to handle it for me. After some arguing and evasion by AVIS, they agreed to refund a portion of the extra charge. In the end, I just want to say that AVIS has issues with their process and service (my friends in the US also mentioned this company has a terrible reputation there). They assured me there would be no extra charges, without ever showing any additional fees, and then they simply deducted the amount, saying, 'You signed the paper.' The car rental platform's handling and attitude towards this issue were trustworthy, even though I didn’t get a full refund, they were very supportive. I strongly suggest not renting from AVIS.
