Arrived at night, had to wait in line for 1 hour and 30 minutes to get the car

Big brands are still trustworthy.

Overall pretty good, but the staff promoted additional services without explaining the price change, which was a downside.

I had already booked a seven-seater SUV with AVIS through Zuzuche and paid in advance, but when I arrived they said there were no cars available and tried to give me a four-seater. Even though I had purchased comprehensive insurance, they kept trying to sell me more insurance. It took almost three hours from queuing to getting the car. In the end, I had to reluctantly buy additional insurance to get a seven-seater, which was actually a car that had just been returned and not yet cleaned. This rental experience was really terrible and the service was extremely poor.

At Los Angeles Airport, I was inexplicably charged an additional $30 for roadside assistance despite clearly requesting no additional services. They also did not specifically inform me about this charge. I mentioned that I might return the car two hours later than scheduled, and the staff assured me that extending the return time to 4 PM would be fine with no extra cost. However, when I returned the car near San Francisco, I was charged over $40 extra for returning late. I called AVIS to inquire, but they said there was nothing they could do since I had signed without reading the details. Originally, the rental cost was around $80, but I ended up being charged over $70 more, almost doubling the price. This experience was extremely disappointing and felt deliberately deceptive. This is not my first time renting from AVIS, but the experience was so poor that it merits a very negative review.
