**Feedback on Oxford Car Rental Experience**
Recently, we rented a vehicle in Oxford for two days (local pick-up and drop-off). The overall experience was somewhat complicated, as outlined below:
**Rental Process and Location**
The pick-up point is approximately a 20-minute walk from Oxford train station, which is fairly reasonable. However, please note that walking is manageable if you have no large luggage; if carrying substantial belongings, it is recommended to plan transportation in advance.
**Service Attitude and Sales Issues**
- The staff had a rather indifferent attitude and frequently attempted to upsell additional services such as insurance and accessories during the communication. Upon declining, the rental deposit was immediately increased, which felt like undue pressure.
- When asking for details about the upgrade packages, the staff could not clearly explain the content or benefits, making it difficult to make an informed decision. This reflects a lack of professionalism.
**Fee Transparency Concerns**
- There were noticeable issues during payment: after the first payment attempt failed, the system displayed an increased amount of £20 without justification. The staff did not provide a reasonable explanation or any written proof, leading to doubts about fee transparency. A thorough review of the system or procedural loopholes is recommended.
**Vehicle Condition**
The rented vehicle was in good condition, handled smoothly (per feedback from the accompanying driver), and had no mechanical issues, which met expectations.
**Return Arrangements**
As the return date fell on a public holiday, the car rental agency was closed. Following their instructions, we parked the vehicle in the designated area and mailed back the keys. We are unable to fully evaluate the completeness of the return process.
