The wait time for the shuttle was five times longer than other companies. The driver was extremely unfriendly, and there was a long queue at the store. The counter staff aggressively pushed for insurance sales.
I chose full insurance from the car rental company when booking through QEEQ. At pickup, they offered roadside assistance, which I declined, and they didn't push further. I reserved a C-class Nissan Versa but received a B-class Kia Forte instead. The starting mileage was about 37,000 miles, but the car's condition was decent.
While driving, a small stone cracked the front windshield. Since I had full insurance, when returning the car, they only asked about the cause, location, and time of the damage, and the insurance covered everything. A $200 deposit was required at pickup and was refunded immediately after returning the car. Gas prices in California are generally high, and it seems the company estimates a full tank at a higher cost. So, I recommend skipping their refueling option and just refilling the tank yourself before returning the car.
Overall, Thrifty is relatively cheaper. It seems to be a subsidiary of Hertz. Most of the service staff are from India and may try to add extra services. I checked Thrifty's official website in advance and learned about the additional charges. In the end, I insisted they cancel the extra fees.
On November 6th, Beijing time, I went to the rental company's Cucamonga store at Los Angeles Airport to exchange cars. At the time, I couldn't exchange the car because I didn't bring my driver's license notarization. They had to close the order. The store manager clearly informed me that the remaining unused rental time would be refunded to the dealer, and asked me to wait. The rental company told me that the amount would be refunded within 7 business days after the end of the original order time, which is noon on the 17th (U.S. time). Just now, the rental company informed me that the unused amount would not be refunded. I hope you can listen to the call recording between the rental company and you on Beijing time, November 6th! They clearly informed me that the order could be closed and the money would be refunded!
