San Francisco... San Diego

When picking up the car, the customer service aggressively pushed several insurance options. After refusing, they said they wouldn't give me the car without insurance. Had no choice but to purchase one insurance plan, costing an extra $14 per day. The service attitude was very poor. However, when returning the car, the customer service was great, polite, friendly, and meticulous.

This is a terrible company. The car wasn't even full on fuel when I got it, one segment was missing. The staff were very rude when I returned the car. Initially, they were polite, but when I mentioned the issues, they switched to speaking rapidly with a Mexican accent to brush me off. They didn't even listen to my full explanation and just walked off. The front desk also had the same attitude! If this is how they treat customers, it's better if they don't serve Chinese customers at all. The experience was extremely poor; even a zero would be too generous.

Excellent experience

I compared for a long time before choosing Avis, attracted by the international brand. They didn't disappoint us. The San Francisco airport has a light rail directly to the car rental center with all major rental companies. The big companies have queues, but the speed was acceptable. There was no aggressive push for insurance. After handling the paperwork, they just told us the car slot number, and we went to the parking lot with our voucher to pick up the car. We originally booked a Chrysler but ended up with a Kia. Initially, we were a bit disappointed, but it turned out to drive very well, great acceleration and handling, overall a fantastic driving experience. Returning the car was also very convenient; we just filled up the gas and drove to the parking lot, they checked it quickly and processed our return. Since we returned the car two days earlier, we even got a refund for those two days.

There was basically no queue, and the process was completed very quickly.
