After returning the car, we rented another one and wasted several hours at LA Thrifty fighting for our rights. I urge all Chinese people not to rent from this company. They unjustifiably refuse to accept Chinese driving licenses and their service attitude is terrible. Many Chinese people have been denied rentals, disrupting their travel plans. It seems highly likely to be racial discrimination. Let's support our country and fight back together!

This rental company enforces third-party liability insurance, so you still need to opt for it when renting. The listed prices on the website are misleading. If you're adding $18 a day at the location, you might as well book directly from Sixt, which doesn't generally force you to buy. The car is fine.

Encountered an unhelpful staff at the counter.

The rented car model was unavailable, and I thought I was getting a free upgrade. However, it turned out to be a mandatory paid upgrade, costing an additional $100 per day. I tried to decline other options but fell into the mandatory upgrade trap. I didn't understand it well and signed my name, accepting it, but I still feel deceived.

Thrifty and Dollar share the same counter. I waited in line for over an hour, and when it was finally my turn, there were no cars available. I had to wait an additional half hour.
