1. The rental staff heavily promoted insurance, only mentioning the abbreviations, saying it was basic insurance. This made me think it was already included in the payment I made when booking, but after swiping my card, I realized it wasn't and ended up paying an extra $150. Later, they said it was because I wasn't a Florida resident and had to buy it. If this is true, the website should mention it, otherwise, the price displayed is misleading. It feels like a tactic to attract customers with low prices and then deceive them. 2. The rental staff also pushed for roadside assistance, scaring me by saying it would cost a lot if something like a flat tire happened, which made me buy it for $60. After having already spent an unexpected $150, I felt scammed and just wanted to end this ordeal quickly, so I unwillingly paid this fee too. 3. I was misled again when the staff said I couldn't pay tolls with cash when driving to Miami and had to buy a toll charge for over $50. However, I found out that it was indeed possible to pay tolls with cash during my journey. I also consulted with three locals, and while they weren't sure about the first issue, they confirmed that the second and third were unnecessary.
