Since Budget has merged with AVIS, I'll address both in my feedback. First segment of the trip: I rented a car in Dallas and returned it in Houston with Budget, booking a Ford Edge, a midsize SUV, through Zuzuche. However, the staff gave me a Honda compact car instead, which was incredibly frustrating. After communicating with the staff, I swapped for the originally booked Ford Edge, as shown in the pictures provided. So, the store actually had the Ford Edge available but didn’t give it to me right away. One key issue to note is that due to the time difference, Zuzuche’s customer service was unavailable when I tried to report the issue. Even when they responded later during business hours, it was meaningless by then. Second segment of the trip: I rented a car in Los Angeles through AVIS. Upon arrival, I waited nearly 40 minutes for vehicle coordination. In the past, if the reserved model wasn’t available, they would upgrade free of charge; now, you're lucky if they don't downgrade you. During the return, they charged me for roadside assistance insurance, miscellaneous fees, and fuel costs—around 70 dollars. Although I refueled the car completely, I unfortunately lost the receipt, and the credit card charge's posting date was after the payment date, hence unusable for filing a dispute. Imagine if all tourists went through this—they could refund the ones who successfully disputed and profit from those who didn’t keep their fuel receipts. This could amount to considerable earnings for them. In summary, think carefully before choosing these two rental car companies, as this likely stems from management-level policies.

Very satisfied.

Avis, Budget, and Priceless are in the same building, and the wait to confirm an order exceeded one and a half hours, all while standing. Not recommended.

Very satisfied, highly recommend this car rental company.

We picked up the car more than two hours later than the scheduled time, which made us unsatisfied with Avid. When picking up the car, we verbally asked if there were any other fees besides the additional driver fee. The staff said no, so we kept agreeing and signed. Since we had already waited for over two hours and were very tired at the time, we didn't read carefully. However, when returning the car, we examined the bill and found they had charged us extra for full roadside assistance insurance. But I had already purchased that full insurance from a Chinese insurance company when booking through Zuzuche.
