The moaning and groaning from all the customers at pick up is a little contagious. Most people I spoke said "never again"...but I got really nice car, the rate was very good, and they even bumped the mileage allowance for me. So will use them again.
Remember, you get what you pay for! Firstly, the staff's attitude was poor; most of them were Indians and they weren't very patient with Chinese customers, probably because many Chinese customers are not good at English. Secondly, the rental contract process is unlike that of reputable rental companies. Other companies usually have a deposit of $200 and a maximum liability of $700, but here the deposit is $500 and the maximum liability is $3000. Thirdly, they don't show you the contract before you sign it. Normally, a regular store would explain the insurance coverage first, and then let you review the completed contract before signing it. Fourthly, when picking up the car, you must carefully inspect it for any scratches or issues because they won't tell you if there are any problems. If you find issues after taking the car, it will be hard to argue when returning it, and you may face high penalties. I almost got scammed myself, but fortunately, I found two small holes in the windshield before driving away. I asked the staff to note it down, and she reluctantly did so. I pointed out that such damage couldn't have been unknown to her, yet she didn't inform me. This experience taught me to be very cautious when renting a car abroad. Don't try to save a little money at a higher cost; always opt for full insurance.
It was not clear that I required a credit card to pick up and that the card I had used to pay for the booking was not suitable for security deposit. This resulted in having to come back hours later once my brother had finished work to pick up the car and we ended up getting to our location after midnight. When picking up the car I overheard 3 other groups of customers in the same position that I was in. Once we picked up the car the lady at the desk said she would 'upgrade' the car but this did not seem to be the case, I dont think the car I had ordered was available and I overheard her upgrading everyones car in the line.
This was not a good experience but the price was good.
Like: Staff was efficient and very courteous.
Clean, low cost office and grounds for incredibly
low cost of car rental. Dislike: The limited free mileage of 200 kilometers made me have to keep that in mind the whole trip, so it limited my trip.
