Good price - but a little less convenient

There were only three groups of customers ahead of me, but I waited for over 30 minutes. One was due to a computer error by the rental company that tried to add insurance to the customer's bill. The other two groups couldn't communicate well due to language barriers. Another reason was that selling insurance took a long time. By the time it was my turn, I had lost my patience and didn't check the terms carefully.

This was the worst experience I've ever had. I kept getting harassed by the receptionists of Indian and Pakistani origin, while the car rental service kept shirking responsibilities. 1. They aggressively pushed for insurance, and when I declined, they started finding excuses. 2. They demanded my return flight ticket. When I showed them my itinerary from the airline, they claimed they couldn't read Chinese and refused service without a return ticket. When I called the rental service, they said they couldn’t resolve it. I had to barge into their manager's office, and only then their attitude changed and they processed my rental. 3. They claimed my Visa chip card wouldn’t work, and said if I used a magnetic stripe card, I’d need to buy full insurance, stating that the insurance from the rental service wasn't valid. When I called the service again, they still couldn't resolve it and instead suggested I contact the bank and mentioned we should have opted for a bigger rental company, implying they don't guarantee smaller ones. I had to barge into their manager's office again to get the issue resolved. Meanwhile, others in my group at a different counter had no issues. What problems can the rental service actually solve?

1. There was a discrepancy in the service, and I was overcharged by £152.01. Despite multiple attempts to contact them, I have not received a refund. 2. We were told there would be a Chinese-speaking staff member to assist us with the car pickup, but when we contacted them via WeChat at 9 AM local time, they replied, 'This Chinese service number's working hours start at 8:30 AM. Sorry for not being able to assist you during your pickup time.' We had to figure it out ourselves, which was quite frustrating.

Had reservations earlier after reading some reviews but I must say the car and service given were good and above expectations.

Good

The car was fine, the challenge i faced was only with the collection process - had to use the kiosk first which failed and ended up trying three machines before finally having to go to the counter to finalise payments. Then was instructed to go to the front desk with a sheet of paper with a number on it. Was then told that i had to go back to the room with kiosks for collections, then back to the front counter when staff realised i'd been through the pre check in process, then to the waiting room until called. once called the car was still dirty so was told to go back and wait until cleaned then called again and was provided with a completely different car. Overall very disorganised so my score doesnt reflect my actual impression as all the scores above relate to things other than the collection 'process' which i found to be very disorganised.
