Mediocre

Fast and convenient; returning the car took only 5 minutes. However, the staff insisted on adding tow insurance during pickup, which ended up costing an additional $9 per day.

Wide variety of car models, vehicles are very new.

They kept insisting that I buy additional insurance because the other party didn't have third-party coverage. I ended up buying it. The Chevrolet TAHOE was really hard to drive—no power, slow acceleration, not much space, with around 80,000 to 90,000 miles on it. The car got scratched in an LA parking lot. Luckily, I had purchased scratch insurance. After driving the Tahoe for a few days, there was an issue with the oil, so I switched to a Nissan Armada. The Armada was much better—more space and it had 4WD, also with around 80,000 to 90,000 miles on it. I would suggest not renting a Chevrolet. Driving it for 5 to 6 hours is really exhausting.

Overall, it was satisfactory. We arrived in Los Angeles at night and had to wait a long time for the rental company's shuttle. When it finally arrived, it took us to the DOLLAR location. Turns out they are the same company, but this was not mentioned during booking. If you arrive at night, you can take the DOLLAR shuttle directly since Thrifty is closed at night. At the DOLLAR counter, even though we bought full insurance, the staff tried to add other insurances, claiming they were important, and urged us to buy fuel. This was quite uncomfortable. Also, when picking up the car, the model we booked was not available, and the staff insisted we take a different model. After much back and forth, we managed to get a Corolla. The car had scratches, so we had to confirm with the staff and take photos to document it. Fortunately, the vehicle had no issues during use, and the return process was smooth. So far, no traffic violation fines have been received.
