A painful experience to warn future renters: avoid renting from National at all costs. Here's my story. The rental process went smoothly, and everything was fine during the use. However, I probably hit something sharp, which caused a cut on the tire sidewall, rendering it unusable. Since I didn't purchase full insurance, I had to cover the tire loss myself, which cost me 2390 THB. Though expensive, I accepted it. The problem arose when I returned the car. 1. During the car inspection, the inspector actually got on the ground to check underneath the car (a first for me after many rentals), and pointed out scratches on the underside of the front bumper, claiming I caused them. When I picked up the car, I didn't get on the ground to inspect it either, so even though I had doubts, I couldn't argue effectively due to the language barrier and accepted their claims, thinking a paint job wouldn't cost much. 2. Then it came to the charges. Since I didn't have full insurance, there's a deductible. I was charged 2390 THB for the tire plus the deductible of 8560 THB, totaling 10950 THB. After communicating with the rental company, they said it was a pre-payment and any remaining balance would be refunded after the actual damage costs were finalized, to which I agreed. 3. Upon returning home, a few days later, the final damage report came out. Besides the tire, they pointed out three more damages that weren't mentioned initially, and put all of them on me. In the end, I didn't get any refund at all.
I rented a car from National through your platform at Krabi Airport, Thailand, from September 23 to October 2, with order number 67008665. I had prepaid a total of 1151 yuan for the rental and insurance fees on your platform. This overseas car rental experience has brought me significant trouble. During the car return inspection, the National staff charged me 4280 Thai Baht (928 Yuan) for a scratch on the left front wheel cover. Due to the approaching flight time and the threat of deposit deduction by the car rental company, I had no choice but to pay the 4280 Thai Baht. However, the whole incident felt unfair and even seemed like a scam. I am hereby providing feedback to your company, hoping for proper resolution.
1. In domestic car rentals, wheel cover scratches are considered natural wear and tear and are not the renter’s responsibility. Therefore, I did not pay attention to minor scratches on the wheel cover during the inspection. As a platform specializing in international car rentals, you did not inform users about this detail, leading to high compensation fees. You have certain responsibilities in this matter.
2. The National car rental company at Krabi Airport seems to be extorting customers with excessive compensation charges. The slight scratch on a wheel cover worth only a few dozen Yuan was charged at 928 Yuan without negotiation. They continuously threatened to deduct the deposit and pressured me with the approaching flight time. As a platform serving Chinese customers for overseas car rentals, I hope your company can establish basic assessment mechanisms to handle such unscrupulous car rental companies and provide a fair response to customers when they encounter such difficulties and extortion.
A car with 70,000 kilometers, full of scratches. Didn't check the car during handover, later found out the gas tank was 25% empty. The car broke down halfway due to insufficient battery fluid. Customer service said the towing fee from Krabi to Lanta was at my expense, ended up paying for the repair myself.

Like: Getting the car was super easy, came out of the Arrival gates, went to National Rental counter, filled up the formalities and hoped on the ride, all in less than 10 minutes. Car was in pristine condition, no irritating sounds or glitches, superb sound system. I would highly recommend National based on my experience.
