Both picking up and returning the car were convenient. There were no hidden fees, but the car had a minor issue: the rear right door couldn't be opened from the inside.
The queue time was very short, and the service attitude seemed fine. However, I went to the counter at the originally scheduled pickup time and asked if I could pick up the car a day later and whether there would be any additional charges. The counter staff informed me that I could pick up the car the next day without any extra fees. The next day, when picking up the car, I asked again to confirm, and they assured me there would be no charges and I could proceed with the pickup as usual. However, a fee was quietly charged the day before returning the car (through the pre-authorized card, so I wasn’t aware at the time). I only noticed the unexplained charge after checking my bank statement upon returning home. After contacting Zuzuche, they explained that the fee was for late pickup. First of all, the late pickup had an impact on me but caused no loss to the car rental company. Secondly, I asked twice and was told there would be no additional charges. If there were fees, why not inform me and charge me when I picked up the car? Why was the fee quietly charged the day before the return?
Picked up the car at Vancouver Airport and returned it at Calgary Airport. The signage at both locations was very clear, making it easy to find the pickup and drop-off points. The return process was particularly efficient, with fuel gauge checks, vehicle inspections, and printouts of the return slip all done seamlessly. However, the pickup process was quite slow. Since we were doing a one-way rental, we had to wait for a car with an Alberta license plate (likely because it's cost-effective for the rental company to charge a one-way fee while returning an Alberta car to Calgary). We waited over an hour after completing the paperwork to get the car (the staff kept saying it would be just another five minutes). We had originally booked a vehicle for up to 7 people, but there was an 8-seater available at the site. However, we didn't upgrade because our luggage just barely fit.
This is a scam company. They force you to buy insurance without informing you. Do not choose this company. This is the first time I encountered such an issue after renting cars numerous times in the US, Canada, and abroad. The final bill was higher than the online estimate because they claimed I bought extra insurance, which I never did. When I picked up the car, they just handed me the keys and the contract, asked me to sign, and never mentioned anything about insurance. The whole process took one minute. In my previous rentals, if they wanted to upsell insurance, they would at least ask me. This time, they didn’t say anything, just had me sign the contract, then the Indian guy made a few marks on the contract, but the copy I received was blank, I remember clearly. This is practically daylight robbery.
