High expectations

Everything is fine, satisfied.

At LA airport, this was the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced globally from a car rental company, no exaggeration. The staff insisted I buy extra insurance, and when I refused, they told another employee I was crazy and would definitely get into an accident! They also implied any issue, like a flat tire, was my problem. The car I booked wasn't available, and the substitute had a shaky steering wheel at speeds over 70 miles per hour.

Arrived at 12:30 AM, waited an hour in line to complete the paperwork. When it was finally my turn, the staff went to check the vehicle for 15 minutes. When they returned, they asked me to pay. Luckily, I asked what the charge was for, because my English isn't great and I didn't understand right away. I then remembered someone mentioning a mandatory insurance fee. It turned out to be true, but I declined. The staff wasn't happy. When I went to pick up the car, the parking spot was poorly marked and I had trouble finding any staff to help. When I finally found someone, I almost drove off in the car before noticing it was damaged—the front headlights were broken! I had booked an SUV, but was told this was the only one left. The staff was polite but had no other car options. After searching for an hour, I settled for a sedan, which had a big scratch on the back—thankfully, I noticed it, otherwise I couldn't have explained it later. In the end, we could only fit four people with luggage in the back seat. Fortunately, we were only four people, or we would've had to wait even longer. They refunded $80. We finally left at 3 AM, which really spoiled our initial mood upon arriving in the US.

カウンターの男性トニー？さんは、日本語も話すことができて非常によかった。 日産ALTIMAは運転しやすかった。 グレードSRで、扁平タイヤをはいていたが、きびきび走ってgoodでした。

A very positive experience all the way around.
