Having rented cars in many countries through the Zuzuche platform and directly from local stores, this company is the worst I've ever encountered! 1. The car model did not match our reservation (it was several tiers lower than the models listed on Zuzuche). Complaints to Zuzuche were futile (they said each country has different vehicle classification criteria, not based on price, how ridiculous!). 2. The staff was extremely inefficient. When it was finally my turn, I realized the delay was due to constant promotion of their products! Despite having already bought insurance, they kept pushing more products, warning of possible incidents if we declined — basically, scare tactics! After a 13-hour flight, we waited another half-hour in line, followed by an hour of arguing! Moreover, the staff's attitude was terrible! 3. No one showed us where the car was. We had to find it ourselves in the parking lot. The car was old, with crumbs and snacks between the seats — disgusting! 4. The platform claimed GPS was included, but upon arrival, they tried to sell us a paid GPS. When we refused, they gave us one entirely in Spanish, making it unusable!
During this trip, I rented from AVIS twice. The first time, I got scammed. The second time, I made sure to go through all the terms and conditions carefully to avoid being tricked. Now, AVIS requires you to sign and confirm via a tablet, which means you don't get a physical rental agreement and can't confirm specific charges. I picked up the car at Los Angeles Airport and clearly informed the staff that I had already purchased all the necessary insurance and services. However, the AVIS staff still added services like roadside assistance. When they charged my credit card on-site, it was $250, and I asked what the fee was for. The staff replied that it was just a security deposit. After returning the car, AVIS directly charged $125, which I later confirmed through the rental platform was for roadside assistance and insurance services. I feel all charges should be processed on-site during the rental process, which allows you to negotiate with the staff. Deducting the fee after returning the car feels like a hidden trap because the service is already completed and you have no way to negotiate a refund with AVIS at that point.
