About EPTA:10.0/10
Upon arrival we waited almost 40mnt to get our car as due to jam during that time (LIMA). The 1st car we got we were not very happy as the staff inform us to keep an eye on the car temperature. As I'm travelling with elderly and kids I was worried if the car stop mid way and so informed the staff to get me a replacement. Within 1 hour, the staff managed to get a replacement car and it was brand new and super clean. Bravo to the staff for working on my request so fast and really appreciate it.
48 hours before departure, the car rental staff contacted us via text message and added us on WeChat. They informed us that staff would be waiting for us upon arrival, which was considerate. We arrived early and went to the car rental counter in the arrivals hall at Langkawi Airport. We were told that the counter was for on-the-spot rentals. Since we had pre-booked, we were directed to find staff next to Maybank. Being early, we informed the rental company via WeChat to send someone to pick us up. A few minutes later, staff arrived to escort us. Our car was 50 meters to the right after exiting the airport. We handed over our pickup form, driving license, and passport, and they filled out our contract. After inspecting the car (which we had already checked ourselves), we signed the contract and paid a 200 CNY deposit. For the return, we notified the rental company via WeChat, refueled the car to the same level, and returned it to the pickup location at the airport. After inspection with no issues, our 200 CNY deposit was returned. However, we had a minor accident involving a third party in the final hours. We contacted the company, and they advised against reporting to the police, claiming that our order did not include third-party liability insurance (which we recorded and confirmed with the car rental platform's colleague). The company charged us 3000 MYR for vehicle damage (the deductible) and paid the third party in cash. We were dissatisfied with how they handled the accident, feeling it was irresponsible. Other than that, their service was good.
The rented car was extremely dirty, had scratches everywhere, and had no fuel. The fuel light was constantly blinking, making me very worried that I wouldn't reach a gas station in time. Given the dirty condition of the car, my concerns, and my unfamiliarity with the local area, I accidentally broke the rearview mirror glass of a motorcycle just after leaving the airport. I immediately informed the car rental company, and they responded that I would need to pay either 600 or 1000 RMB. I expressed my preference to repair it myself since the replacement cost for a similar car in China is only around 300 RMB (200 MYR), but they insisted that they had to handle it. After multiple conversations, they agreed that I only needed to return the car in good condition. I spent a day going to a repair shop, which cost me 350 MYR. When returning the car, it still had a third of a tank of fuel. It would be helpful if the rental cars were fully fueled at the start, as finding a gas station in an unfamiliar place is not an easy task for a lone traveler!
