Route 66 in the USA

Satisfactory

Pickup was very smooth!

Couldn't get the car at all. The staff at the counter were extremely rude. They insisted on showing an international driving license or a Chinese driving license to release the car, even though I have a U.S. driver's license and a Chinese passport. This has never been a problem in other cities. Usually, they just check the U.S. driver's license without even looking at the passport. It felt like they were deliberately making things difficult. I spent at least an hour waiting in line twice, and I saw three groups of people being given a hard time for various reasons and not getting their cars. The queue was extremely long, and they were very impatient with foreigners who had language issues. It was truly unbelievable. I've rented cars in the U.S. five or six times and have never encountered such terrible staff! I haven't received a refund for this order yet; it’s really disgusting!

This family trip included five people and four large pieces of luggage. We originally booked a seven-seater van, but were told upon arrival that there were no vehicles available. We were forced to take a five-seater SUV and informed that it was the largest vehicle available at the time with no other options. We were told that if we were not satisfied, we could come back the next day to see if there were any cars to switch to. However, since we had to leave for the Grand Canyon early the next morning and there was no guarantee that the reserved seven-seater van would be available, we didn't change the car. As a result, we were cramped for a whole week, crossing three states. It felt very disappointing and misleading. If the reservation and payment were completed, why wasn't the vehicle available?

The waiting time to pick up the car was quite long. I wanted to book a Ford SUV, but ended up with a Mazda SUV, which was a bit disappointing.
