Easy car pickup

This was the worst car rental experience. The car they gave me had a broken window. When I approached customer service, they said there were no other cars available unless I waited, so I had to take it. They said the return procedure was self-service and that all entry and exit records were logged. I returned the car early in the morning and handed the keys to the customer service; they didn't give me any receipt and just said it was fine. Because I had to catch a flight home, I left. Three days later, they claimed I hadn't refueled the car and wanted to charge me. I called customer service, saying I had taken a photo of the fuel gauge and had the fuel receipt. They said, 'Oh, then we won't charge you.' Two days later, they sent an email saying I had returned the car two days late! I called customer service again to argue, saying I took a flight home right after returning the car and had the ticket as proof. They also had records showing when I returned the car. How could they make such unreasonable claims? When I made the first call, they didn't mention the late return, just that the fuel wasn't full. Then they said, 'Did you know there are additional fees besides the rental fee?' I said no. After arguing, they reluctantly said they would refund the charges. This was the first time I encountered such 'groundless' charges! And it happened in 'the rule of law' society of America! This is why I'm giving a bad review for the first time.

The queue time was average, waited for half an hour

On August 6th, we arrived at Bozeman Airport from Miami to pick up a car from the AVIS store. The clerk informed us that the originally reserved mid-size car was unavailable, so they gave us a smaller Kia and refunded over $100 for the price difference. However, after completing the paperwork and taking the keys to the parking lot, we were shocked to find a Kia Soul, whose trunk couldn't even fit a 28-inch suitcase. We returned to the store to negotiate with the clerk again. After waiting for nearly an hour, we finally got a Chevrolet similar to a Malibu.

I originally booked a Ford Escape SUV, but upon arrival, they only had a Nissan mini SUV available. Let's just call it an SUV. After returning the car, I was charged a $40 deposit. I asked the rental company to find out why, but after 8 days, there’s still no response. I don't understand why both the rental platform and the car rental company are so inefficient. This was a very unpleasant car rental experience.
