Very good, no upselling

Pickup time was 18:00 and return time was 18:00. We arrived at the counter around 17:30. After rejecting a bunch of extra charges the service staff introduced, the payment list still included an extra hour of rental fee just because we arrived half an hour early. After negotiation, the return time was changed to 17:00, avoiding extra charges. We almost ended up with a car of the same group, but fortunately refused it and were willing to wait, which took about fifty minutes.

Perfect

Very good

Why was I double-charged after paying in full when making the reservation? When I went to the car rental office in the US to pick up the car, I had to pay the full amount again. The car rental website charges the full amount automatically from the bank at the time of booking, not upon pick-up. The time in between should be enough for the rental website and its US partner company to communicate and process the payment as per their agreement. However, when I arrived at the office to pick up the car, I was charged again.
