The rental process was smooth, no pressure to buy insurance! The car was relatively new, had no issues, and was fuel-efficient! The return process was also very quick.

It's okay.

1. They forced me to buy personal insurance, otherwise, they wouldn't give me the car. When I requested to contact the rental company by phone, they said there were many people waiting in line and they could only process their rentals after finishing mine, forcing me to buy the insurance. According to their minimum insurance requirement, I had to pay an additional USD 161. 2. I booked the car with a credit card, and upon picking it up, they required a USD 200 deposit, stating it would be returned 2-3 business days after returning the car. However, it has been more than 10 days since I returned the car and I still haven't received the deposit.

There weren't many people in line, but the process took quite some time. They tried to sell me additional insurance options, which I declined based on the rental company’s policy. Since I was renting from Salt Lake City and returning in Los Angeles, it seemed they couldn't find a car with California plates and tried to give me a downgraded model, which I refused because safety is paramount for long trips. Eventually, the manager managed to arrange a slightly upgraded Ford SUV, which was pretty good. There are gas stations near the return location, and since they require refueling within 10 miles, that was fulfilled, so I didn’t buy the fuel option from the company as their gas prices were a bit high.

Awful. Total bait and switch! I was given a bill of $127 at drop off. I later got an email with a price of $266. 74 minutes earlier than estimated return time, and I am charged an early return fee! What is that? The quoted daily rate went up. All total bogus charges added on to the original bill.

The process was quick and easy, and what I thought was a good deal. Turns out the good deal was a bait and switch. Nothing the actual easy renter cars can be blamed for.
