The Europcar counter is located inside the Advantage store, but there was no staff present for a long time. Many people waited for quite some time only to find out that Europcar and Advantage process rentals together. It took over an hour to get served.
1. Many flights from China arrive at night, resulting in a large number of people renting cars and long lines, but only two counters were open.
2. The staff seemed to push for purchasing a toll pass, but there's no toll for self-driving in the western US.
Europcar and Advantage share the same location. I took the Advantage shuttle to the site, where both companies are separated, but you can process your rental at either one. The staff even used a translator to assist with any confusion, which was very considerate.
A $500 fee for returning the car at a different location was reduced to $200 after negotiation. The contract mentioned returning the car at a different location but didn't state any fees.
The most unsatisfactory car rental experience. Europcar and Advantage operate jointly, so I recommend not renting from either! They over-pushed sales. When picking up the car, they asked where we were going. After telling them, they said every route has high tolls, some even costing $40, and they pushed an $11 toll package. We thought the $11 covered all, but it turned out to be $11 per day! Also, the RAV4 we booked wasn't available, so they gave us a mini SUV. Our luggage couldn't fit, although it would’ve fit in a RAV4. We were forced to upgrade for $220. Why should we pay for the upgrade when it's their lack of cars? We didn't voluntarily upgrade! The previous rental with Alamo through Zuzuche didn't incur any additional charges after pre-authorization, but this time there were all kinds of taxes and fees on site! The critical moment was reaching Zuzuche's 24-hour hotline, which was always unavailable. There were many people in line to pick up cars, so we had no choice but to accept. I'll never rent from this platform again. Very disappointed with Zuzuche too.
