About Budget: 4.0 /10
The staff at the Los Angeles Airport Budget rental office told me I only had basic insurance (even though I actually purchased the most comprehensive insurance, which even covered glass damage). They still insisted I pay an additional $240 for some 'non-package item,' which I suspect was a hidden fee. I immediately showed them the pre-prepared photos of documents from Zuzuche with English communication notes specifically for staff, but the staff member didn't even glance at them and kept repeating, 'You don't have any insurance. You can't rent a car unless you sign.' Since I was in a hurry to finish the rental and get to a game, I confirmed with her that this was a refundable fee and proceeded with the rental. However, after I returned the car, I was charged $240 on my credit card without notice. Next time, I'll book directly on an official website—never again do I want to spend unnecessary money like this.

There are additional charges every time I go to the store, secondary marketing.

About Budget: 2.0 /10
I arrived at 10:55 AM, and the queue was very long. After finally getting to the counter, an elderly Asian woman named MARY who only spoke English began causing trouble. First, she asked why a family of three chose such a large car. I explained that large cars aren’t available in China, but I like big vehicles. She then claimed this particular car had been recalled, and when I asked how long I’d have to wait, a supervisor said at least 40 minutes to an hour. I couldn't wait because my 90-year-old great-grandmother was waiting for us to have lunch together. Next, they started upselling me, offering a brand-new Cadillac model at $199 per day, discounted to $79 per day. I said it was too expensive and asked for a cheaper alternative. They proposed various vehicles, but I insisted on seeing pictures. She said not all cars had photos available, and I declined options like minivans until they finally offered a 7-seater from GM, which I accepted. By then, it was already afternoon. She then pressured me to buy insurance. I explained that I had already purchased comprehensive insurance, but she claimed she had worked here for 30 years and knew for sure that rental car platforms only offer three types of coverage, insisting I had to buy insurance directly from them. She also mentioned additional services and asked me to insert my credit card. When I confirmed whether it was for a deposit, she stayed quiet but asked me to proceed. Then she made me individually confirm various charges. I was annoyed, but my great-grandmother in Los Angeles had already called to hurry me, so I reluctantly confirmed the charges. In the end, they charged me $752.38! As I was leaving with my luggage, two girls approached me and asked what they should do since their insurance wasn’t recognized. I said I faced the same issue and had no choice but to accept it due to time constraints.
