The lady at the desk had a terrible attitude. She wouldn't answer my questions and behaved arrogantly the whole time. I asked to see the invoice before inserting my credit card, but she refused and rudely told me, 'If you want to rent a car, insert your credit card. If not, just leave.' Honestly, I was speechless. I told her it's perfectly reasonable to see the bill, and she just ignored me, leaving me standing there while she attended to several groups of other customers (Americans, Europeans, and South Americans) with a smile the entire time. I asked her again when I could see the invoice, and she continued to ignore me. I requested to speak with her manager. She seemed a little intimidated, went into the office, and then came back saying the manager would be there soon. After waiting over ten minutes without anyone showing up, I asked her colleague to call the manager. About five minutes later, the manager arrived with her. She instantly acted meek. She even tried to argue in front of the manager, but the manager told her to shut up and briefly explained the situation to me. She finally started processing my rental properly, albeit still muttering under her breath while doing so. I didn't let her get away with it, but I also decided not to engage further. In the end, her manager had already reprimanded her, so I let it go. In five minutes, the paperwork was done, and I took the keys and left.

Very satisfied

1. The service attitude at Thrifty's Los Angeles branch is terrible, from the manager to the regular staff. They refuse to resolve the reimbursement issue for the oil change expense, have a bad attitude, and refuse to communicate, making the customer experience very poor! 2. The online customer service is unreliable. I called the rental company hotline in the US to file a complaint, and the customer service representative promised to email me within 1-2 days with a progress update or result. However, it has been a week, and I have not received any emails, not even an acknowledgment of my complaint! This makes me feel that the customer service did not report my complaint at all. 3. The internal communication of the rental company is extremely chaotic. After discovering an issue with the car, I called the roadside assistance hotline for a solution. The service personnel asked me to add oil immediately; otherwise, it would affect the vehicle's performance and could lead to an accident. After repeatedly confirming, the customer service assured me that I could get reimbursed when returning the car. I added the oil and covered the expenses. However, when I finally returned the car, the Los Angeles branch refused to reimburse me, stating, 'You should have bought the roadside assistance insurance, then you would have been able to replace the car for free.' This is extremely frustrating! This incident not only disrupted my schedule but also affected my travel mood, and in the end, they even withheld my reimbursement. It's absolutely intolerable!

Renting a car was simple and convenient.

I reviewed the car rental notice several times, which required us to return the car with a full tank to avoid unnecessary charges. However, when the rental company authorized a pre-authorization, they charged an upfront fuel fee. Regardless of whether you return the car with a full tank or not, they will levy the prepaid fuel charge. Now, I am asking Zuzuche (the rental platform) for this money back, but they have been delaying for a month without any response. Can't Zuzuche refund me first? If the rental company doesn't refund me, will Zuzuche also not refund me?
