Friendly interface and wide variety

It's a small rental company and they don't speak Chinese.

I've driven abroad quite a few times, but this is the first time I've had to pay for parking to pick up a rental car at the airport. Was I the one who parked it there? I rented a car in Dubai for just half a day, and while the rental fee was only 100 dirhams, the parking fee was 50! They kept urging me to leave within ten minutes or pay another 50 dirhams! I'm not sure about airport parking fees, but parking is free almost everywhere in Dubai. Everything in Dubai is pricey except parking. Although it was indeed mentioned in small print on the rental agreement, it was easy to miss!

They told us the back seat was dirty when we returned the car. They suggested we clean it ourselves, otherwise, the company would charge a high fee. We were in a hurry to catch a flight, so the receptionist offered to help and only charged us 70 AED for cleaning. We even gave an extra 100 AED as a tip. Later, we found an additional charge of over 100 AED on our credit card for the dirty back seat. This was very disappointing as we couldn't dispute it after leaving.

Check the car throughly and take loads of photos, they will go over the car with a fine tooth comb at the end. Also photo the windscreen - they found a pin sized mark on the windscreen (1mm max, too small to show up on a wide angle photo) and were going to get me to pay for a new windscreen, when luckily they managed to clean it off (ie it was only dirt in the end). Not a very fun experience - stressful - I have never before had a pin sized mark questioned, let alone one on the windscreen - they told me the windscreen was worth more than the car.

Time spent on pick up more than usual
