Not bad

Reliable, convenient, good value for money

After arriving late at night, I had to wait in line for an hour and a half. The staff was extremely inefficient, and they charged an additional $300 after returning the car.

This company's practices are unscrupulous, with hidden charges and deceit. This is not my first time renting a car abroad, so I am aware of the insurance upsell tactic, but I still fell for it. Here's what happened: Upon arrival in Los Angeles, I went to the car rental company, where a Latina employee handled the procedures. She seemed very friendly, chatting away. Since I knew about the insurance upsell, I paid close attention, but she didn't mention anything. When I paid with my card, the amount seemed off, so I asked and was told it included taxes, so I didn’t think much of it. This staff member didn't hand me the paperwork but instead came around the counter to personally help me choose a car. It seemed like such great service. After choosing the car, the staff put the paperwork in the glove compartment of the passenger seat. That night, I drove to Las Vegas. The next morning, I found a flat tire and went to a local Thrifty to have it fixed or get a replacement. It was then that I checked the receipt and saw that they had charged me extra for so-called roadside assistance, costing several hundred dollars over the ten-plus days. This was definitely not tax, which should have been included in the total. No wonder she was so attentive; she didn't want me to see the paperwork. Later, they refused to refund me. The flat tire took two days to fix, and it still wasn't properly repaired—just inflated again. They didn’t have a replacement car for me, offering only a lower-grade vehicle instead. I wasted three days dealing with all this nonsense. Thrifty = Thief.

They kept insisting that I buy additional insurance because the other party didn't have third-party coverage. I ended up buying it. The Chevrolet TAHOE was really hard to drive—no power, slow acceleration, not much space, with around 80,000 to 90,000 miles on it. The car got scratched in an LA parking lot. Luckily, I had purchased scratch insurance. After driving the Tahoe for a few days, there was an issue with the oil, so I switched to a Nissan Armada. The Armada was much better—more space and it had 4WD, also with around 80,000 to 90,000 miles on it. I would suggest not renting a Chevrolet. Driving it for 5 to 6 hours is really exhausting.
