The company with the most renters, very fast processing speed with no forced upselling. The procedures are simple and there are many vehicle options. We chose a new car that had only 1030 miles on it, the car was in good condition, and we had a safe trip.

The car rental process was smooth. At the parking lot, a lady introduced Sonatas, Optimas, and Camrys to choose from. I wanted to drive a Fusion, so I asked if there was one available. She said she would check for me. After a while, she brought a 2015 Fusion. The car had about 14,000 miles on it and was in relatively new condition. Returning the car was also smooth; I drove into the parking lot, left the keys under the front windshield, and someone came over to print a receipt, completing the process.

Super convenient, both picking up and dropping off the car were very quick. The car was ready when we arrived, so we got it immediately; returning the car was just as simple, handing over the keys took less than a minute. I opted for the prepaid fuel option, only to later realize that any leftover fuel wouldn't be refunded. So, if you don't mind the hassle, it's better to pick up and return the car with a full tank, rather than prepaying for fuel.

Great experience. Picking up and returning the car was very convenient. I thought returning the car would be troublesome, so I arrived at the airport quite early, but it only took about 5 minutes to finish the process. Highly recommended.

Everything else was fine, but finding lost items was a hassle and I couldn't find anyone to help. The internal system was a bit chaotic during checkout and they almost charged me extra. If you don't speak the language well, it can be really frustrating.

Great value! The staff provided thorough service. I initially chose to pick up the car in San Jose and return it at Los Angeles LAX, but I wanted to change it to Burbank Airport near Los Angeles. They checked this for me. In the end, all I needed to do was to return the car in Burbank.
