Planning a trip to Honolulu

Average

The store suggested additional costs like insurance upgrades and fuel charges, which I identified and declined, but I almost fell for it. The RAV4 I booked was unavailable, and they gave me a KIA SPORTAGE instead. They claimed it was the only car of the same type left, which was confusing... The attendant at pickup told me I only had the basic insurance and needed an upgrade. I said the car rental platform I used already included comprehensive insurance, so no upgrade was necessary. He said okay, there would be no extra insurance charges. Then, he printed a paper and asked me to sign, emphasizing with a pen that the charge was zero. But I noticed the total amount was $56. When I asked, he explained it was for fuel. I told him my agreement with the platform was full-to-full fuel policy. He insisted their option was cheaper than refueling myself. When I insisted I didn't want it, he quickly crumpled the paper and threw it away...

The rental company is decent.

ロサンゼルス国際空港近くの代理店？下請店？が、ADVANTAGE RENT A CARという店でしたが、トヨタの車を申し込んでいたに、ヒュンダイの車を貸し出されました。 追加保険を強引に勧められるようなことはありませんでした。

Despite booking with Europecar via Easyrentcars.com car was provided by Advantage and it was overall terrible experience. First, desk agent refused to add my spouse to rental for free and requested 13$ per day for it. In Nevada spouse can drive hired car for free and it was offered to me by another companies without any problems before. There were also restrictions on driving cars to certain states - this wasn't mentioned during booking process. First car offered to me was dirty and had broken, loose bumper. Second had unbearable smell of Marihuana. I refused to take any of them and finally accepted third car. Dealing with person who swapped these cars (not desk agent) was only positive part entire car hire process. I will never use Advantage for hiring car in the future.
