Couldn't reach customer service on the phone. The car was old, I didn't know how to use the key properly. After parking, I couldn't start the car or shift gears. I had to ask local people for help as customer service was unreachable.

The car was damaged when picked up

When picking up the car, the store staff kept adding various extra charges (mostly insurance). After I told her I didn't need them, she would remove the cheapest one, and this process repeated several times, wasting a lot of time. Eventually, she insisted I keep a third-party liability insurance, claiming it was necessary as it was not included in the original rental contract. Additionally, there was a small incident when picking up the car. One staff member told me I could choose between two cars, and I picked a newer-looking red one. At the exit, another staff member said the red car was already reserved and asked me to switch to the other car. While transferring my luggage, I forgot my backpack in the red car, which had my wallet (various credit cards), laptop, and other items. I drove to my friend's place over 60 kilometers away from the airport. It wasn't until after dinner (around 10 PM) that I realized my backpack was missing. Unable to reach anyone by phone, I had to drive back to the airport. Fortunately, the duty manager had kept my backpack and checked its contents. Despite driving over 100 kilometers round trip and returning to my hotel late at night, I was relieved to recover my backpack.

We went to the Thrifty car rental counter in Houston and they tried to charge us a lot more money than we were quoted on EasyRentCars.com. I asked why it was so much more and the lady said because of the easy pass, I told her I did not ask for the easy pass nor do I want it. She took out the easy pass and the price was still higher, she then proceeded to tell me it was due to taxes, I said no, all taxes were included in my quote and her next reason was because I was returning it to a different location from my pick up location, again, I told her no, that was all calculated in my original quote. Since she ran out of excuses she decided to credit me the difference. We then proceeded to pick up our car and was told that they did not have any full size cars left, all they had was full size trucks. So we had no choice and drove off with a full size gas guzzling truck. At the end of our vacation we dropped off the truck at the San Antonio airport and had no issues there.

I was very satisfied with EasyRentCars.com. The website was very user friendly, they gave very useful advice and the automatic price drop re-book feature was very nice, we saved an extra $20 with this feature.
