The company doesn't have a storefront, which made it very difficult to find. I won't choose such a small company again. However, the service was okay.

It was awful. Couldn’t find the company upon arrival, and they didn’t inform me of their relocation, resulting in an additional taxi fee of 400 yuan. The driver mentioned they could sue this company. After returning the car, they overcharged me and haven’t refunded it for over a month. They said they would refund the deposit immediately upon return, but they haven't. They even asked me to pay extra. It's been two months, and I still haven’t received my refund. They tried to extort me with someone else's repair order. This is a fraudulent company that disappeared after getting my money, and this platform is also irresponsible. They keep passing the buck without any customer service management. Complaints on the platform go unanswered. Both the platform and the company are irresponsible. I'm considering reporting this to the authorities.

No service, just normal interaction! Can the car be in worse condition? Over 200,000 kilometers and the left side mirror and gas cap have spider webs. The doors won't even open, I have to climb in through the passenger side to open the driver's door! The fuel tank was only half full, and the boss said it's fine to return it with the same amount of fuel... The most absurd thing was returning the car. When we arrived at the store, there was no one there. We called, and they told us to wait. The store arranged the cheapest Uber to take us to the airport! This was definitely the worst car rental experience I've ever had.

The car is a bit old, but it offers great value for money and is worth renting.
