Enjoyed car that was in decent condition but the shuttle bus was unpleasant due to broken a/c

the vehicle given to us wasn't the vehicle scheduled. We were supposed to get a Mitsubishi Mirage but it wasn't on the lot. Instead we were rented a large Toyota SUV which sucked way too much fuel. The next day we returned to the rental lot and were given a choice of mostly SUV vehicles. We opted for a Hyundai Kona which actually was a decent, comfortable ride.

Stanley, my customer service rep was especial and very informative. Great guy

Overall, everything is relatively reasonable even it takes longer time to get phone call reply. The only thing I felt very unpleasant is that counter staff at SFO quite unfriendly or not professionally at all.

This was the best price for our needs. When we looked for the rental place, we finally found a bus outside that drove us to the rental area. This took at least 20 minutes even though the driver probably never used his brakes. When we checked out, the lady bombarded us with "Extras". Did we want toll protection, gas plan, etc. We did pay extra for the gas because we knew we would buy gas but had no idea what it would cost & we could bring it back empty. Gas was not that high so we should have skipped this & bought gas. The toll price was high but we set our Garmin to avoid toll roads so this was a savings. We do not rent often so overall this was a fair price, just be ready to make lots of decisions after you land, before you eat or mostly anything else. Also, you are supposed to inspect the vehicle & sign a form stating what defects it has. They had just washed this one so it was still wet. We had to inspect it in a garage with minimal light so the wet vehicle hid many things if we had not been looking closely. We took pictures of everything we found & marked their paper. We were not charged anything extra so all worked out well.

Arrived earlier than expected for pickup and waited in line at counter for 1.5 hours. Only 2 people on duty to help. Would not allow early pickup without adding huge extra charge. Had to wait until pickup time, over 3 more hours
