Arrived in the evening, arranged a private car to pick us up from the airport to the store.

The staff at the rental store exhibited completely different attitudes with and without surveillance. From the airport pickup to the store, their attitude was very good, humble, and the explanations were clear. I assume there were cameras in the shuttle and store. However, once all the paperwork was completed, they took us to the parking lot and handed us the keys, casually said a few words, and left. They didn't give us any time to inspect the car or provide a simple briefing (they mentioned during the rental process that there would be a briefing). We noticed a scratch on the right front door and had to walk back to the store to find the staff. He then told us that the insurance we purchased was very comprehensive, and we could have any damages covered, then he left. After getting into the car, we found that the USB port was not charging, so we had to go back to the store again. The overall experience was very poor.

N/A

I have insurance with the credit card which is issued from Austria - so I couldn't get any document due to time difference to Los Angeles. In the 10 years, I have the card it's the first time that a car rental wanted proof. I paid insurance with easy rent cars, my credit card and at the rental company. I was the best-insured looser paying everybody. If you check the google maps reviews you will find out I wasn't the only one falling for this scheme. I guess It falls back to you when I have a voucher where stands I don't have to pay anything at the desk.

Like: The pick up was easy, the shuttle was convenient, our car was in great condition.
Dislike: We had a bit of a long wait for the shuttle back to the airport, and it appeared that the shuttle driver was just waiting, not actually gone anywhere, so there was some miscommunication around that. Other than that, the experience was great.
