From Los Angeles to San Diego and Back

Reliable, convenient, good value for money

Received a free upgrade to a sedan, a Hyundai, quite good.

The upselling was terrible! When I refused to buy the insurance, their attitude immediately became very rude. They sarcastically asked, 'For just $15, you're willing to take on all that risk? Can't spare $15?' When that didn't work, they tried to sell me an electronic toll device, falsely claiming that many roads couldn't be accessed without it. I didn't buy it, and drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco without encountering a single toll. Even the Golden Gate Bridge toll can be paid later. It's despicable to resort to deception and intimidation just to sell a $12 per day device. And they have an anti-upselling badge? This is the worst upselling tactic I have ever seen.

Pick-up was convenient and quick, and dropping off was even easier. Better than expected!!!

The line was very slow. There was no free upgrade, and even the car I reserved, a Toyota Corolla, was unavailable. I had to wait an hour for a Hyundai. The manager, a woman, essentially said 'take it or leave it, cancel if you want!' No Chinese language service, not open 24 hours, no delivery service. Very aggressive upselling! The male African American clerk stared at me and said, 'This is America!' meaning if I didn't buy the insurance he recommended, I wouldn't get the car! The service attitude was terrible! I will never rent from Thrifty again. Moreover, when I called 'Zuzuche' (the third-party booking platform), their support was very weak. They told me to listen to the car rental agency! Even though I had already purchased full insurance on my order, they didn't firmly support me against buying the additional insurance the clerk recommended. I felt helpless! The service was extremely poor!
