Picking up and returning the car was super easy. It was my first time driving by myself and basic English was enough to handle everything.

I arrived early, 2.5 hours before the scheduled pick-up time. With my limited English, I managed to complete the rental process with the help of an African American guy at the counter. Since I was early, the reserved car wasn't back yet. They switched me to a car of the same class. The picture showed a Nissan, but I couldn't find a Nissan in the lot. When I asked the staff, he casually pointed to the area and said I could pick any car I liked. How generous! When returning the car, I drove to the designated spot where a white guy scanned the rental code, checked the gas and mileage, printed a receipt from his device, and everything was done in just 3 minutes. Quick and easy.

Initially, I rented a Cherokee, but when I arrived, they told me that model was unavailable and only had a Hyundai SUV. It felt like a huge letdown. Then they tried to persuade me to upgrade to a Dodge for an extra 3000 yuan, but I stood firm and refused to pay any extra. When I got to the garage, the person there gave me a Dodge, a free upgrade. There was no Hyundai, just a lone Dodge in the garage. You get it!

Our experience with Alamo was very positive - check-in process was quick and easy. During our drive down the Pacific Coast Highway, a small rock cracked our windscreen. Thankfully, the included insurance covered the damage and we didn't have to pay any extra.

This was my first booking on Easyrentcars and I will definitely use this platform again in the future. Prices were cheaper than other platforms and the booking process was easy.
