Arrived at the return location at 5:57 PM and there was no one there. Had to lift the parking barrier myself. Called them but no one answered. Fortunately, another renter told us to leave the keys in the drop box.
When picking up the car, we were told that our selected model was not available. We had to wait for a Chinese-speaking guide to communicate with us, and they suggested a refund if the car was not available. Eventually, we got the car we selected.
Arrived at the store around 3 PM but didn't get the car until after 5 PM. The tiny store was in complete chaos. Despite having prepaid for the rental well in advance, there was no car available. After several phone calls, they finally found a car that had just been returned, but it needed to be cleaned first... I wasn't the only one; a group of people were all waiting for the staff to find cars on the spot, standing in the parking lot waiting for the staff to clean each car and drive them over from another location. An old man with an Australian accent kept saying: 'I've been to countless places and never seen such terrible service....'
Waited for an hour and a half to get the car! They explained that it was due to the Chinese New Year, so there were more people, but the problem was that there were hardly any Chinese people in line, mostly foreigners. I booked a mid-size SUV, Mitsubishi Outlander, but ended up getting a Camry. Didn't want to wait any longer, so I took the Camry. Overall, I felt the efficiency was a bit low.
