About PARADISE:3.3/10
The car was very old (80K miles), brakes were not responsive, and overall condition was bad. However they refused to exchange or upgrade the rental car even after we called out the issues with the car. The only option was to upgrade to Proton Perdana for 450RM per day. The customer service was terribly bad as well - they didn't know what cars they had available, promised us a new car and yet delivered an old Proton Saga with bad brakes. The only upside is the car is cheap, but not much cheaper than others. I would not recommend renting a car from Paradise.
Considering the issues with vehicle inspection and voice guidance, I arrived early at the pick-up store, but it was closed. I reported this to the rental car service, and they said they would contact the car rental company and get back to me. Eventually, they said they couldn’t reach the company and asked me to wait nearby. I waited until around 3:50 PM (pickup was scheduled for 4 PM), but no one showed up. It was too hot, and my child couldn’t wait any longer, so we returned to the hotel, which was fortunately nearby. At the hotel, the rental car service contacted me again, insisting I go back to the store to avoid missing the opening time. I found it odd since they should be prepared in advance for my booking. After settling my child, I returned to the store, and this time it was open. However, I was told there were no cars available and I had to wait until 6 PM. They also showed me records of attempts to contact my domestic phone number, which was puzzling since I was in Malaysia. Suddenly, a car became available, so I signed the paperwork and went for the vehicle inspection. The staff only checked the exterior, noted some damage points, recorded the mileage and fuel level, and left while I was taking photos and videos. I had to figure out how to open the trunk and refuel by calling them later. By the time I left, it was already past 5 PM, but the recorded pickup time was still 4 PM. The car's performance was also poor; the steering was shaky. When returning the car, they mentioned it was dirty inside. I suspected they might charge me a cleaning fee, but I explained that the sand in the car wasn’t from me as I hadn’t been to the beach. They accepted my explanation, and the return was processed normally.
