Western USA National Park Road Trip

Not great, it claimed there was Chinese service, but there wasn't! The order stated that UnionPay cards were accepted, but it turned out that only Visa cards were. Also, other drivers' credit cards were not allowed, so we couldn't pick up the car. We had to rent another car, which cost over 400 yuan extra! I won't be renting from them again.

Good service. No waiting in line.

I clearly told the staff not to add any additional charges. I was going to refuel the car myself. However, the staff still added the charges and deducted over $180 from me, and I haven't received any response yet.

At Los Angeles Airport, I was inexplicably charged an additional $30 for roadside assistance despite clearly requesting no additional services. They also did not specifically inform me about this charge. I mentioned that I might return the car two hours later than scheduled, and the staff assured me that extending the return time to 4 PM would be fine with no extra cost. However, when I returned the car near San Francisco, I was charged over $40 extra for returning late. I called AVIS to inquire, but they said there was nothing they could do since I had signed without reading the details. Originally, the rental cost was around $80, but I ended up being charged over $70 more, almost doubling the price. This experience was extremely disappointing and felt deliberately deceptive. This is not my first time renting from AVIS, but the experience was so poor that it merits a very negative review.

At Los Angeles Airport, the staff keeps pushing additional insurance and even tried to convince us it was mandatory. Only after my strong questioning did they admit it was optional. They seem to take advantage of non-native English speakers. The service attitude was really poor. The reserved car type was unavailable. I booked an SUV, but they recommended a Mercedes sedan instead, claiming it had a built-in GPS. What a hassle.
