I've been traveling around Thailand for 5 years and rented cars more than 6 times, and this trip was especially disappointing. First: On the 4th day of this 13-day rental, the car wouldn't start due to a battery issue. After calling customer service, we were told roadside assistance would arrive in an hour. Two hours later, no one had arrived. We contacted them again, and they responded that the assistance couldn't find us and went back. How is that possible when it's a 50-minute drive from Phuket Town to Patong? 1. They didn't call my Thai number, Chinese number, or contact me on WeChat. 2. Are they stupid? 3. They probably didn't even leave. 4. They're just lying!
After more than 3 hours, the roadside assistance finally arrived on a motorcycle with a power bank! When that didn't work, they called for a tow truck, which took another hour! By the time we got home, it was already late at night, and the four of us, including two elderly and two children, were waiting on the roadside for hours! Two days later, the same problem occurred again, and it took another 3 hours to resolve! I requested a car or battery replacement. They eventually agreed to replace the battery.
Finally, someone came to replace the battery, but they brought a larger battery that couldn't be properly fitted, making it unsafe! The next morning at 10 AM, they replaced it with a compatible battery, which then worked fine, but it delayed my schedule and ruined my mood! Second: Regarding the service, the supplier claimed the battery issue was because Chinese renters don't turn off the lights, which is not only discriminatory but also unprofessional. If Zuzuche doesn't take strict action against this company, I'll be the first to delete you!
Objectively speaking, their communication with us before picking up the car was prompt and detailed. They added us on WeChat and explained the pick-up details clearly, which was very satisfactory. However, their response when an issue arose was terrible. We had purchased full insurance, but on the morning we were to return the car and catch our flight, the car wouldn't start! Note that we hadn't used the car the day before and had specifically checked all the lights and everything when we parked it. The most likely cause was a dead battery! Of course, we didn't have proof that the lights were turned off. What I want to point out is that when this issue occurred, we immediately contacted the rental company for help, but the insurance company's personnel never showed up. Due to our urgency to catch the flight, after waiting for an hour and negotiating with the rental company's customer service, we decided to leave the car and take a taxi to the airport, which cost us an additional 2547 for roadside assistance. We had no choice because we were in a hurry. It turns out, the insurance company personnel who supposedly were coming an hour earlier, hadn't even left by the time we took the taxi! I was really furious. We wasted an hour waiting, nearly missed our flight, and still had to pay for roadside assistance. The whole point of having full insurance is lost. Their handling of the situation was utterly disappointing.
