1. The counter staff was not particularly friendly and seemed somewhat arrogant towards Chinese tourists, possibly due to previous negative experiences with other tourists. 2. The return inspection was extremely thorough, with three rounds outside, three rounds inside, using hands and lights, but no damage was found. Possibly because: firstly, we took great care during use, avoiding bumps; secondly, we spent around 1000 local currency (about 60 RMB) to clean the car before returning it; thirdly, the car was not cleaned when we picked it up, it even had bird droppings, and the staff wanted to return it based on the previously marked damage list, but we insisted on rechecking and found at least three traces, which we recorded to avoid issues during return. 3. Conflicts arise from cultural differences, but mutual understanding is key, even with overseas car rentals. We respect others, and they will respect us. I personally think that those who don't purchase full insurance are checked more thoroughly because, in the logic of the locals: 'If you don't buy full insurance and there's hidden damage, how can I know? Therefore, I must be more meticulous in my inspection.' This is understandable and possibly due to previous distrust caused by dishonest renters.

The weather was cold and rainy. We were asked to drag our luggage to the parking lot, but there was no car available there. We were told to wait for five minutes, but it took about twenty minutes. It was 0 degrees and raining, and after such a long wait, a car with a flat rear tire arrived. We found out and were told we had to wait another hour to change cars. It was too cold, so we dragged our luggage back to the airport to wait. The process was inefficient, and the pick-up staff were very rude with a heavy accent in English, and got impatient when asked to speak slower. We were the only ones renting a car that day, but it took a total of three hours to finally depart.

The service attitude was good, but the car pick-up process took quite some time. I was delighted to rent a Q5 with four-wheel drive; it was perfect for the snowy mountain roads in Montenegro.
