Highway 1 + Route 66 + Page + Grand Canyon

Overall dissatisfaction, the order was already paid for but additional taxes were charged on site. More importantly, a mandatory towing insurance of over 1000 RMB was added, with various other fees totaling an extra 283 USD.

The supplier tried every possible way to persuade us to upgrade the car and buy various insurances by claiming that the car we reserved was not available and offering a smaller one instead. We insisted on not compromising, and in the end, they gave us the car we originally booked! Didn't they say it wasn't available?! The car rental experience was extremely poor!

I arrived in San Francisco already feeling exhausted. When renting the car from Thrifty, the staff told me that I must buy third-party liability insurance as required by California law. I ended up spending half an hour on the phone with the domestic rental car service. Some representatives said it wasn't necessary, while others said to pay it first and discuss later. The inconsistency in information was very poor, wasting much of my time. Ultimately, due to my firm stance, they temporarily did not charge me for the third-party liability insurance.

There was no proper queuing system at the Thrifty shuttle pick up point. We had 8 pieces of luggage (inc car seat and pram) and it was impossible for us to get on the shuttle bus that takes us from the Thrifty drop off office to LAX. The buses that came were either full or people have no consideration that we arrived first. We ended up having to call UberXL.

In the first check in point staff promised me to upgrade a larger car but although I waited about an hour the garage people couldn’t get are promised car but they gave me the same category SUV. Simply they made me wait an hour but didn’t keep the promised car size
