Easy on the internet, hell at the rental place

The shuttle was very late picking us up. After the person at the desk spent 15 minutes trying to upgrade me to a more expensive car she spent just as long persuading me with hard sell tactics that I needed more insurance. Being tired after a 10.5 hour flight I lost the will to argue and then paying for the extra insurance and deposit was equally stressful. When we first saw the car the outside was dirty and had damage to the front bumper. It was the only car available so we had no choice but to take it. In all it was a very unpleasant experience.
