1. After landing in Salt Lake City, the car pick-up process took at least an hour of waiting in a very long line. There were only two service counters open, and the staff worked very slowly without showing any effort to make things convenient for customers. 2. During the car pick-up, we unknowingly ended up purchasing additional insurance. It was only after checking the bank statement and consulting with Zuzuche that we discovered this charge. Looking back, the staff’s communication was evasive, and it turned out to be a form of hidden charge. This behavior is quite frustrating and unpleasant. I’m not sure if this is exclusive to this Thrifty location in Salt Lake City. On my prior rental in San Jose, everything was transparent and straightforward.

The queue was very long, waited for a long time with no assistance.

No waiting in line

Overall convenient. The car we originally booked was too big and felt hard to control. We coordinated with the counter to switch to a smaller car. For four people, a 7-seater is a must, as the luggage fills up the space. Since we bought full insurance, returning the car was super quick, highly recommend.

The female staff at the rental company counter had a poor attitude. My English is just average; I could understand some things she said, but not everything. I needed her to explain several times. Maybe she thought I didn't understand anything. She initially told me that my insurance was incomplete and didn't cover roadside assistance and third-party accidents, suggesting I add insurance. I remembered that at least roadside assistance was included when I booked, and the invoice I checked before departure didn't mention it. Later, a phone representative assured me that I had full coverage, so I wasn't worried since I had also bought travel insurance before departure. Perhaps it wasn't displayed on the invoice, or maybe she was trying to help me, but then she privately told her colleague that this Chinese person didn't know anything. Her colleague said there were bigger cars available, but she insisted on giving us the small car we had booked. Her attitude was very unpleasant. It took a long time to get the car, and I don't want to rent from this company again.
