It's alright, the pick-up and return process is quick.

This was my first car rental experience in the U.S. After leaving Los Angeles Airport, I had to look for the rental company shuttle at the roadside, there's a designated stop nearby that takes some searching. Once at the store, the pickup was fairly smooth with no extra sale fees. However, the originally booked mid-size SUV was replaced with a compact Chevrolet Equinox. The staff told us there were no cars of the booked type available. Although we weren't happy about it, the given car was newer and could still fit our luggage, so we accepted it. During this trip, we rented cars from three different companies and encountered issues each time. This was the least problematic experience.

I didn't have to reverse the car and didn't need to ask for a refund.

We booked a car way ahead of time and prepaid, yet on the day of arrival we waited for nearly an hour only to be told there was no car available. We were given a different car with instructions to come back the next day for a replacement. When we returned the next day, they told us again there was no car. The staff's attitude was terrible, and they even refused to let us complain, saying if we did, they wouldn't help us check. The store manager claimed he wasn't on duty the previous day and didn't know what happened. We were left with no choice but to wait, ruining our entire morning's schedule. Absolutely awful.

A lot of upselling and add ons at the desk especially various insurances. Upgraded to premium at extra cost. Car was tired, 31k + miles, windows didnt shut properly. Rattles from back of car.

None
