Very good

Late arrival, language barrier, and the promised full tank was empty. After I strongly expressed my dissatisfaction, they gave me 100 to refuel myself. Unbelievable.

After arriving at the airport, we had to wait a long time after calling before someone came.

Couldn't reach them on the phone when picking up the car, had to ask the airport staff for help. I booked an automatic but was initially given a manual. I told them I couldn't drive a manual, so they made me wait for more than half an hour. When I got the car, it had no fuel, and they just told me there was a gas station 2 kilometers from the airport. The car was a bit dirty! On the second day, a wrench icon lit up on the dashboard. We had no idea what it meant and couldn't reach them by phone, so we had to ask locals for help. Luckily, it was just a maintenance reminder. On the third day, the engine started making noise. For safety, I wanted them to check if there was a branch in the city to help. They said they were too busy and suggested I return to the airport. Again, I had to ask locals for help. But these weren't the real issues! When we were returning the car, I told them at the hotel that we'd be at the airport in an hour and not to delay us as we had a flight to catch. They agreed, but after countless calls, you can imagine the frustration! In the end, we were on the plane and had to borrow a phone from a fellow passenger to call and ask if they were at the parking lot. They said they'd be there in 40 minutes… How did we handle it? We gave the airport police officer a tip of 100 RMB to return the car for us.

1. A Dacia Dokker is NOT mini car and has nothing similar with Kia Picanto (the advertised model). It's a business car. A pickup :-) At least it was new and diesel. 2. The pick-up location of diRent (parking lot #326) is practically impossible to find at 1 a.m. (no information at the airport, no one knows anything about diRent), luckily someone picked up the company phone and helped me find it (and even more luckily there was whom to buy a SIM card from at the airport, otherwise the 10-munute call in roaming would cost me over 50% the rental price). 3. Another call to someone in the company was needed to convince the diRent employee that 11 p.m. means 23:00. He wanted to write in the contract that I should return the car at 11:00 a.m., even though the booking read 11:00 p.m. Apart from that everything was OK.
