The rental company staff's English communication and service attitude were average. After all the formalities were completed, I was expecting a handshake and a thank you, but the staff just turned and left without even looking back.
The vehicle's condition was generally satisfactory.
There was some damage when I returned the car. I had purchased separate insurance, and I need to wait for the rental company's repair and contact (they pre-charged me $300 for the repair). A week has passed since I returned the car, and I haven't been contacted about the repair status or cost yet.
When I inquired domestically, the website staff clearly informed me that the rental company would take me to get a temporary driving license for an additional $50 service fee. However, they ultimately charged me $70 when handing over the car.
First of all, I chose a Nissan model, but when I picked up the car, there were no Nissan vehicles available; instead, they gave me a Malaysian brand car with poor performance.
Secondly, there were extra charges. When returning the car, there was a minor scratch on the fender. The staff assured me the repair cost would be 5000 Sri Lankan Rupees, but they actually charged a 49000 Rupee deposit for the repairs, which was not refunded.
Extremely poor experience. It's best to drive a hybrid car in Sri Lanka; otherwise, fuel consumption is too high. The roads are narrow, whether it's mountain roads or highways, and there are tuk-tuks, pedestrians, motorcycles, and cars all crammed together, moving quickly and not giving way to each other. The most unacceptable part was that the car we rented didn't have a spare tire. The rough road conditions and dangerous mountain roads caused a flat tire, and we found out there was no spare tire. The rental company refused to cover the loss and even threatened to charge a minimum fee of 500 Euros. After returning the car, they deducted over 2000 RMB from my bank card without any explanation, and we still haven't received a reason. Additionally, they charged $55 for a temporary driver's permit, saying they would email it to us if needed, but we never received the permit even by the time we returned the car.
