The service throughout was friendly, and there was no excessive upselling of insurance. They merely pointed out that our insurance was inadequate but didn't press further once we mentioned we had purchased it on a domestic platform. One shortcoming, however, was that the staff did not check the tire pressure. After driving for a day, the tire pressure warning light came on. Initially, we thought the tire might be punctured, but upon inspection, it turned out the pressure was too high. After releasing some air and resetting the gauge, everything was fine.
Very dissatisfied. Upon return, they nitpicked and claimed the underside of the car was scratched by flying sand and stones, insisting on a charge of 115 SAR. They also deducted the deposit twice, each time 2000 SAR.
Can you believe it? Renting a car in Riyadh, the capital, with all the necessary procedures completed, took over 3 to 4 hours! Having to pay a deposit of 2500 SAR was acceptable, but they took almost from 11 PM to nearly 3 AM to finish processing and hand over the car! Every time someone came by, the staff stopped working just to chat with them! It's more horrifying than 'lightning's 'hahaha'! And if you think that's the end, the real nightmare comes later. When returning the car, we handed the keys to the staff inspecting the car in the parking lot, completed all procedures at the counter, confirmed multiple times that everything was fine, and then left. However, when I went to rent another car in the next city, they told me I hadn't returned the keys! I requested the staff to make a phone call to confirm, but they directly refused and told me to make the call myself. After much effort, I contacted them through the rental platform, and they finally acknowledged it was a misunderstanding. Yet, renting again took another three hours!
The provided vehicle had all four tires worn out. One of them, the front right tire, was damaged and had to be replaced, costing 160 SAR (approximately 320 RMB). When informed at the repair shop, the rental company dismissed it, saying it was not a big deal, leaving the issue for the next renter. Truly disappointing.
The car provided for pickup was an Elantra, and its condition was quite good. It has low fuel consumption, making it completely sufficient for travel around Riyadh without adding mileage. Most parking spots are in free parking lots.
When picking up the car, it felt unprepared. The car was retrieved from the city, we waited for more than half an hour, the car was very old, had over 50,000 kilometers on it, and the seats were very dirty.
