There were unexpected charges during the rental. As we had just arrived in the USA, we hadn't activated our phone service yet. By the time we contacted the rental platform, it was past the one-day communication window due to the time difference. About a month after returning the car, additional unexplained charges of around a thousand dollars appeared.
Arriving at the airport branch before 8 AM meant no queues, but I still faced persistent upselling. They added a lot of insurance for me to sign. Thanks to QEEQ's pre-rental reminders, I knew I didn't have to pay extra as I had already paid in full. Despite repeatedly telling the counter staff that I had purchased comprehensive insurance in China, they insisted it wasn't valid, which was quite annoying. When I picked up the car, it didn't seem to match the model I had selected. A few days later, I rented the same model from AVIS and realized it had much more space. Lesson learned: you get what you pay for.
We specifically informed the staff at the counter that we did not want any additional insurance and the pick-up agreement stated a payment of $0 at the store. However, they added extra insurance without asking us and only asked for an electronic signature for confirmation. We thought it was for the deposit. When we returned the car, we found out an additional $150 insurance charge was deducted. It's very difficult to resolve such disputes in a foreign country, especially with language barriers. The staff only provided us with a complaint phone number and we had to complain ourselves. Changing our return date for this amount wasn't feasible, so we hope the rental car company can assist with this issue.
