In February this year, exactly like February last year, and almost the same trip, the same strange incident happened. I picked up the car with a full tank and returned it with a full tank, but both times I got charged $65. I only found out about it after returning to my home country last year and multiple complaints led nowhere. This year I made sure to point it out when returning the car, and without asking any questions, they refunded me immediately! I can't help but suspect this might be intentional. I hope for an explanation. ALEMO is usually cheaper on the ZUZUCHE platform, but once you get there, they strongly recommend upgrading the vehicle and adding extra insurance. Various charges (like $145 for 8 days of GPS; last year, I got talked into adding over $700 of extra insurance and received a free GPS, the charges can be very arbitrary), and then casually being charged $65 for 8 days of rental at $15 per day, once confirmed, they would immediately refund it! Am I being overly suspicious?

Highly recommend!

There was not a single Corolla available. The self-service kiosk had a Chinese language option but I wasn't allowed to use it, and instead I was directed to the manual counter where they insisted on selling me insurance. The agent kept saying 'unfortunately' when I refused. As an experienced driver, I was very careful and made it safely through Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas without any incidents.

Easy to find, big storefront.

Auto pickup was very convenient, but the return time was quite long. It could be because it was night and only one counter was open.
