The wait time was a bit long, but the staff was persuaded to upgrade our Kia to an Enclave.

Picked up the car at San Francisco Airport. The older foreign gentleman at the far-right counter aggressively pushed additional insurance fees. When I insisted on using my QEEQ order, he became visibly unhappy, which made me unhappy as well.

The receptionist noticed our luggage and suggested upgrading the vehicle for an additional charge. After some negotiation, we agreed to pay an extra 300 dollars. When we saw the Chevrolet in the garage, it looked as big as a tank, which shocked us. With the help of the garage staff, we switched to a smaller Ford Explorer of the same class. Although it's an SUV, it felt a bit underpowered on inclines.

I rented a car from Alamo at San Francisco Airport. It was a Dodge that had run 14,000 miles. On September 15th, the agent, who spoke broken Chinese, told me that if I paid an extra fee of a little over $3, I wouldn't need to fill the tank when returning the car. I believed him and signed. As a result, I was charged $51 when I returned the car on the 30th. Since it was just after 8 in the morning and the agents were probably not on duty yet, I didn't argue because I was in a hurry to catch my flight. Ten days after returning home, another $22.4 was deducted without any notification or reason. Always make sure to return the car with a full tank.

Everything went relatively smoothly. However, I don't understand why they charged me over $150 for fuel when picking up the car...? They told me I could return the car with an empty tank… but a full tank of gas costs only around $40! This is practically extortion! I strongly demand an explanation and a refund!
