Highway 1

Both pick-up and drop-off were very fast, and there was no issue with using a magnetic stripe card for the deposit instead of a chip card. We even extended our rental by a day without any formalities, and the fee was deducted directly from the deposit when we returned the car.

Very convenient and reliable, definitely my first choice whenever possible.

When I arrived at the store, it was already 1 AM. The staff didn't say anything and just asked me to swipe my card. I thought it was for a deposit, so we quickly took the car since everyone was tired. Later, I discovered that $249.47 had been charged directly to my credit card for insurance. I had two rentals; during the first one in Los Angeles, the staff introduced several types of insurance and only charged us extra after we agreed. However, in San Francisco, the insurance fee was charged without my consent or even my knowledge. This was very disappointing. Additionally, the car rented during the first trip had a battery issue on December 10th, which wasted a whole half day of our time meant for exploring the Grand Canyon. The case number for that issue is 160322227. I chose this company because of its reputation, but my overall experience was not satisfactory.

Pickup time was quite long, not very satisfied. Upon arrival, the vehicle wasn't prepared in advance, and I waited about an hour for the car to be cleaned.

The branch was quite busy, with about a 40-minute wait in line. However, self-service pickup is available. Since it was my first rental, I chose to wait for counter service. The staff were very polite and recommended insurance for $18 per day, which I accepted. Overall, it was a good experience!
