San Francisco to San Diego via Route 1, then Las Vegas

Great service, picking up the car was very easy and quick.

Strongly recommended insurance and insisted on selling their full tank of fuel.

The environment wasn't very clean with some trash around. They required me to buy a full tank of fuel and suggested returning the car empty, claiming that gas prices in Los Angeles were much higher than in San Francisco. This arrangement seemed a bit deceitful. The price for a full tank was locked at $3.xx per gallon, which was higher than the average gas price in San Francisco, which is usually around $2.77 per gallon. Additionally, it’s hard to return a car completely empty; I still had nearly half a tank. Many gas stations in Los Angeles also have prices around $2.77 per gallon. So, returning the car with an empty tank is a rip-off. The rental company should have offered an option to return the car with a full tank, but the staff didn't give any choice and just completed the paperwork. Being new to the place, I had no option but to accept it.

It's okay.

I rented a car from Alamo at San Francisco Airport. It was a Dodge that had run 14,000 miles. On September 15th, the agent, who spoke broken Chinese, told me that if I paid an extra fee of a little over $3, I wouldn't need to fill the tank when returning the car. I believed him and signed. As a result, I was charged $51 when I returned the car on the 30th. Since it was just after 8 in the morning and the agents were probably not on duty yet, I didn't argue because I was in a hurry to catch my flight. Ten days after returning home, another $22.4 was deducted without any notification or reason. Always make sure to return the car with a full tank.
