The car pickup was very quick, no one was in line, and the clerk kindly gave us a four-wheel drive, likely because we were going on a long trip.

The pick-up and drop-off process was fairly smooth. The company is very trustworthy. While they suggested upgrading the vehicle and insurance, there was absolutely no pressure. Just remember to take photos of any car blemishes during pick-up to avoid any disputes when returning the car.

The rental company itself is pretty good.

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.

The staff was friendly and provided detailed and accurate explanations. The service was efficient.
