Salt Lake City - Yellowstone Park - Salt Lake City

Returning and renting cars at Salt Lake City Airport is very convenient.

Apart from the long waiting time in line, everything else is 5-star.

When picking up the car, the rental company messed up the order number, causing a 2-hour delay in my trip.

The staff persistently tried to upsell without asking.

The front desk service was very average, no smiles throughout. I booked a Ford Explorer 7-seater SUV, but they said they didn't have the car I reserved and gave me a Hyundai of the same class and size. Although I wasn't happy, I accepted it since they didn't have the car I wanted. However, when I went to pick up the car, I found out it was a 5-seater with a small trunk, barely fitting our three suitcases. I insisted on changing the car and argued with the front desk, as it was clearly not the same size or class. After some discussion, they changed it to a 7-seater Dodge. Although it was still smaller than the Explorer, it could fit all our luggage, so I accepted it. I forgot to refuel the car before returning it and offered to pay for a tank of gas, but they charged me $140! They calculated the gas at $9.9 per gallon plus labor costs. This was extremely expensive, and they didn't mention such high fees when I picked up the car. But since it was my fault for forgetting to refuel, I let it go.
