It was quite simple without any delays. However, the staff was slow, and there were lengthy introductions. It took one and a half hours to finally drive away, which is considered quick by their standards, but still can't compare to the efficiency back home.

The overall service at the car rental location was very poor! They kept trying to upsell me to a higher-tier car at the beginning, and only stopped after I repeatedly refused. Then, they tried to sell me their insurance. Following the guidelines from the rental platform, I brought a credit card with a Visa logo and sufficient credit limit that worked in other stores, but their POS machine couldn't process the deposit. This caused me to wait on-site for four hours, severely affecting my schedule! After finally completing the paperwork, they handed me just one key and told me to find the car in the parking lot myself. The experience was mediocre. The drop-off location was okay, but when I tried to take photos, the staff stopped me, saying there was no need to worry. I don't know if there was really nothing to worry about or some other reason. Besides, the car's quality was also average. The windshield washer fluid was almost empty, running out after just two uses. On the last day, it also indicated low battery voltage. Overall, I felt it wasn't worth the money. It was a rip-off!!!

The service attitude was very good. They only recommended one insurance plan, but when I declined, they didn't push further. I got a hybrid Outlander, but it turned out to be quite fuel-intensive. At first, I thought the battery was broken, but later realized it was a plug-in hybrid. Since my rental period was short, I simply treated it as a regular fuel car and didn't bother charging it.

Highly not recommended for this rental company. 1. When picking up the car on time, the company asked if we were okay with a manual transmission; otherwise, we'd have to wait. They stated, 'When you made the reservation, you only chose the cheapest option, and if we don’t have cars available, we would have to cancel your booking and refund you.' 2. Nationality discrimination: I hold a Chinese passport with a long-term French visa, license, and certified translation, yet the company asked me to provide a return flight ticket to China. However, the French customer ahead of me was not asked for this. I have previously rented cars from Alamo and Sixt across France and have not encountered such requirements. The company explained that it was to prevent vehicle loss. I told them I reside in Paris and do not have a return flight ticket. They then demanded proof of my residence and asked me to email it to a specific address. 3. Deposit is extremely high: Most rental companies require a deposit of 200-300 euros, but this company demanded 500 euros to be held. Furthermore, there was aggressive insurance upselling. Strongly not recommended! In comparison, the service at the neighboring rental company is much better.
