Perfect

The service in Los Angeles was average. The staff were impatient and seemed dismissive towards non-English speakers.

At the location, they tried to upsell me, claiming that California roads are difficult to navigate and suggesting a safer SUV upgrade for an additional fee. Their sales pitch was hard to refuse. Then they said I could choose any car between spots 60-99. A lot of misinformation followed, and I accidentally drove off in a car someone else had reserved. I couldn't exit the parking lot after scanning the QR code and had to return the car. The entire car rental process took almost 2 hours. In the end, I decided not to go with the SUV upgrade, got a refund for the price difference, and rented the sedan from my original booking. They gave me a car that's a tier higher than what I initially booked, which was a pleasant surprise.

Walking 50 meters to the right from the terminal, there was the car rental company. I waited less than 5 minutes at the pickup point before seeing the company's shuttle bus. The driver was very enthusiastic, standing on the bus, helping us load our luggage onto the racks. We quickly arrived at the car rental office, presented our reservation, the staff checked it on the computer, and asked if we needed an upgrade or additional insurance. Since we bought the most comprehensive insurance on QEEQ, we declined, and the staff didn't push us to buy anything else. The process was quick; they directed us to the backyard to pick up the car. The staff pointed to the model we rented, saying all keys were in the cars, which were all clean. We could choose any; once chosen, we drove to the exit, showed our driver's license to the staff, they checked it and let us go. Everything went smoothly, and the service was very friendly.

Renting a car was very convenient, the staff was very friendly

Overall, it was satisfactory. We arrived in Los Angeles at night and had to wait a long time for the rental company's shuttle. When it finally arrived, it took us to the DOLLAR location. Turns out they are the same company, but this was not mentioned during booking. If you arrive at night, you can take the DOLLAR shuttle directly since Thrifty is closed at night. At the DOLLAR counter, even though we bought full insurance, the staff tried to add other insurances, claiming they were important, and urged us to buy fuel. This was quite uncomfortable. Also, when picking up the car, the model we booked was not available, and the staff insisted we take a different model. After much back and forth, we managed to get a Corolla. The car had scratches, so we had to confirm with the staff and take photos to document it. Fortunately, the vehicle had no issues during use, and the return process was smooth. So far, no traffic violation fines have been received.
