1. They forced me to buy personal insurance, otherwise, they wouldn't give me the car. When I requested to contact the rental company by phone, they said there were many people waiting in line and they could only process their rentals after finishing mine, forcing me to buy the insurance. According to their minimum insurance requirement, I had to pay an additional USD 161.
2. I booked the car with a credit card, and upon picking it up, they required a USD 200 deposit, stating it would be returned 2-3 business days after returning the car. However, it has been more than 10 days since I returned the car and I still haven't received the deposit.
The staff started working a few minutes late at around seven in the morning, but there was no queue because it was early. The online booking was for a 'mid-size sedan' Chrysler 200, but we were given a 'compact sedan' Hyundai Sonata, which is a downgrade! Also, although we had already purchased full insurance and additional insurance online, the store kept trying to sell us more insurance. Even after showing them our order, they kept pushing insurance and wouldn't process the car pick-up.
The front desk service was very average, no smiles throughout. I booked a Ford Explorer 7-seater SUV, but they said they didn't have the car I reserved and gave me a Hyundai of the same class and size. Although I wasn't happy, I accepted it since they didn't have the car I wanted. However, when I went to pick up the car, I found out it was a 5-seater with a small trunk, barely fitting our three suitcases. I insisted on changing the car and argued with the front desk, as it was clearly not the same size or class. After some discussion, they changed it to a 7-seater Dodge. Although it was still smaller than the Explorer, it could fit all our luggage, so I accepted it. I forgot to refuel the car before returning it and offered to pay for a tank of gas, but they charged me $140! They calculated the gas at $9.9 per gallon plus labor costs. This was extremely expensive, and they didn't mention such high fees when I picked up the car. But since it was my fault for forgetting to refuel, I let it go.
