Unjustified charges

A very good rental car company. There were no upsells, and the airport shuttles were frequent and convenient. The shuttle driver helped with carrying and placing the luggage. The rental center is not far from the airport, with 3-4 service counters where usually 1-2 customers are queued up in front. The rental procedures are not complicated. After the documents and credit card guarantee are checked at the counter, the rental form is printed and signed, and you can directly go to the designated car section in the parking lot to pick up your car. The keys are in the car, and you can choose any model in the same area. When driving out, you just need to show the rental form and driver’s license – it's very convenient.

The service is good, but the waiting time in line is quite long.

I paid in full online, but the store staff informed me that in the LA area, it's mandatory to buy personal insurance or you can't pick up the car. I rented the car for about a month, which cost roughly 700 USD, but they mandated purchasing insurance for over 500 USD. Has anyone else encountered this requirement?

This rental experience was excellent. Drove 5500 kilometers without any issues. Vehicle exchange took only 1 minute. Amazing!
