I had to pay to take the car back full even though it was only three quarters full when I collected it. Otherwise, all fine.

The Asian-looking male receptionist tried to add over a hundred dollars of unnecessary insurance without explanation and asked me to click 'agree.' Luckily, I noticed this by following the guidelines from the car rental website. When I asked him to change it, he added another $60 or so for GPS without any explanation again. I had to emphasize that I had already purchased and prepaid for everything I needed before he finally corrected it to zero. This is a typical case of taking advantage of Chinese customers. You can upsell, but you must explain it—this is deceptive.

The staff had a bad attitude. When I pointed out that the car given to me was different from the one I reserved and requested the reserved car, the staff kept pushing me to pay for an upgrade. When I refused, their attitude became even worse. I contacted the rental company's customer service on-site, asking them to communicate with the staff over the phone, but the staff's attitude deteriorated further. The whole negotiation took about 90 minutes, and in the end, I only got the Hyundai given to me initially, not the reserved Ford or any of the other models listed as possible alternatives. I have booked directly through AVIS's website before and experienced similar issues, but they were resolved satisfactorily after negotiations. This was the worst rental experience out of my six times renting a car in the U.S.

The staff are very nice; they don't force you to buy insurance. There are almost no procedures for returning the car, we trust each other.

Only thing missing were how to handle tolls on highways with the device installed in the vehicle and how to pay the tolls after rental. Also it could be nice to have a more clear overview of requirements regarding insurance, it’s always a jungle!
