In February this year, exactly like February last year, and almost the same trip, the same strange incident happened. I picked up the car with a full tank and returned it with a full tank, but both times I got charged $65. I only found out about it after returning to my home country last year and multiple complaints led nowhere. This year I made sure to point it out when returning the car, and without asking any questions, they refunded me immediately! I can't help but suspect this might be intentional. I hope for an explanation. ALEMO is usually cheaper on the ZUZUCHE platform, but once you get there, they strongly recommend upgrading the vehicle and adding extra insurance. Various charges (like $145 for 8 days of GPS; last year, I got talked into adding over $700 of extra insurance and received a free GPS, the charges can be very arbitrary), and then casually being charged $65 for 8 days of rental at $15 per day, once confirmed, they would immediately refund it! Am I being overly suspicious?

The queue time wasn't long, but you need to be able to speak English.

No long queues as expected. Very fast, you can choose any car within the agreed category.

The service attitude was quite average. During the process, the staff kept talking on their mobile phones and were constantly trying to upsell me to upgrade the car model. Although the rental company claimed to provide a car similar to the Grand Cherokee, that was not possible in the US. Upgrading to a Grand Cherokee required an additional cost, and I ended up with a Hyundai Santa Fe. If I wanted a Grand Cherokee, it would have cost an extra $30/day. A friend of mine, who followed the same route but arrived at a different time, was quoted $50/day for the upgrade. I arrived at the rental location at around noon in Los Angeles, and there were very few car options available. Most of the available cars were small SUVs with over 20,000 miles on them. The Santa Fe could hold four 26-inch suitcases. Overall, the car rental experience was very average and not very satisfactory.

A very good car rental company.
