Road Trip on the West Coast of the USA

Just like the guide suggested, we were advised to upgrade the vehicle. They said my husband is tall and should upgrade to a more spacious car. We insisted on not upgrading, then they said we didn't buy the roadside assistance insurance and would have to bear the costs if anything happened. I told them we did purchase the roadside assistance insurance and showed a passage from our insurance policy. She said she didn't understand why we would buy insurance in China for renting their car. We persisted in not buying their insurance. Later we found out our car was actually quite nice, a Nissan Versa with plenty of space. A nearby staff member, who was African American, even made fun of us, but I retorted in English, making her feel embarrassed.

We returned the car late at night and paid the deposit in cash. They didn't return the cash deposit then and asked us to pick it up the next day. However, when we went to get it, $20.0 was missing. Due to the language barrier, we couldn't figure out why and didn't have time to ask.

Very convenient and great value!

At the counter, I was asked if I would return the car with a full tank. I said yes, but they still charged me extra for fuel when I returned the car. They also added towing insurance without my consent, resulting in an additional $42.50 charge. I contacted the rental company, but they gave the same explanation, saying there was nothing they could do. However, after my daughter, who speaks good English, called them, they quickly canceled the charges. I've encountered this issue three times, and each time I had to resolve it myself because the rental company was essentially powerless.

Everything was great, nothing to complain about.
