The staff did not thoroughly explain the car's condition when we picked it up. We paid extra to upgrade the car and were misled into using the wrong fuel, which resulted in two towing incidents. We waited 10 hours on the highway. Compared to my previous experience with Enterprise, this was terrible. Think twice before renting from them. We were charged over 6000 RMB for car damages. Although we bought comprehensive insurance from Zuzuche that includes roadside assistance, they later refused to cover it. It was very frustrating as they only offered a 200 RMB compensation. We refused to settle and will definitely file a complaint against Zuzuche for deceptive practices. Others who face similar issues should also stand up and not tolerate non-compensation. Be cautious if you consider buying their full insurance, as they won't cover road assistance when needed. Road assistance abroad is very expensive. Why did I buy the full insurance in the first place?

The full insurance we bought from Zuzuche included roadside assistance, but later Zuzuche refused to cover it. It's so infuriating that they want to brush us off with 200 RMB. We will definitely complain to the consumer hotline about Zuzuche's deceitful practices. Anyone else who encounters this should also stand up and not compromise. Be especially cautious if you're considering their full insurance—it doesn't cover roadside assistance, which is very expensive abroad. So what's the point of buying it?
