The self-service pickup is quite convenient.

Easy process

There were some minor issues at the time of pickup. The reserved Grand Cherokee was not provided; the staff mentioned that in the US, the Grand Cherokee comes with navigation, and we needed to pay to upgrade. The models offered were all compact SUVs, which did not match my reservation. After some back and forth, a staff member kindly brought us a Grand Cherokee, ensuring a smooth, safe, and comfortable trip in the US.

When we arrived, it wasn't crowded. There were two counters open, and we went directly to handle our reservations. They told us that the reserved Dodge MPV was not available, only a similar Kia, but it was smaller. We could pay extra for a larger MPV or a similar Toyota, but we declined and chose the Kia. When we asked the staff where to pick up the car, they said we could take any car we wanted. We were shocked when we saw all the parked cars, including the reserved Dodges, one Kia, and one Toyota. After comparing all three, we realized the Kia was actually the best option. It's funny; Americans can be tricky too! Also, the car return process was quick; the staff just took a quick look inside and it was done.

Queue times depend on how many people are there; if there aren't many Chinese, it won't be too slow. Service mainly depends on the renter's English proficiency; you can't expect everyone to speak Chinese. What kind of car you get is pure luck. I once booked a compact car but was able to take a small van after confirming with the staff, and there was no extra charge.
