Not many people, barely had to wait in line, picking up the car was very smooth.

Very convenient

We are 4 adults and 2 kids, and rented a 7-seater SUV on a car rental website. When we arrived at ALAMO in the USA, they told us the trunk space wasn't big enough and asked us to pay $490 to upgrade to a Dodge minivan. When we requested to see the car, they said none were available at the moment. We called the car rental website's customer service to negotiate, but the rental company's attitude was very impatient. Because we were pressed for time, we had to pay the $490. Including the ¥4152 paid on the website, renting the car for 6 days cost over ¥7000. We felt cheated!

Car rental services in the US are highly developed. We originally booked a 7-seater van online, but upon arriving at the Los Angeles branch, we found the trunk was a bit small. They allowed us to choose an 8-seater GMC with a bigger trunk and more space. They only charged us an additional insurance fee of around $150, and upgraded our vehicle for free. During the rental period, we had a few issues: a scratch, a flat tire, and a broken window from a thief. Each time, we called the rental company and they directed us to the nearest service point to replace the car for free, without any hassle. If this were in our home country, it would have been a much more troublesome experience. The service attitude was also excellent. Overall, this international car rental experience was very satisfactory.

Upgraded the car model with additional cost; there was also some upselling.
