There is a shuttle bus from the airport to the rental company, which is very convenient. Once you get off, you can go straight to the counter to complete the formalities, and the process is very fast, taking about five minutes per person. They simply asked if the car would be returned with a full tank, without trying to upsell anything. The most noteworthy incident during this car rental was that the car window was smashed on the second day, and my backpack was stolen. Fortunately, all valuables and important documents had been safely stored and were not stolen. After calling the police, the officers who arrived on the scene handled the case efficiently. It seemed like they were used to car window smashings and treated it as routine. The staff at the supermarket entrance even took me to another spot to see the shattered glass from the smashed car window, and they seemed very calm about the whole situation.

Quite satisfied, the staff at the store provided insurance recommendations and the necessary items for self-pickup.

Car wheel alignment was waaaay off. When we drove, it felt like the wheels were going to fall off. Unfortunately we were too far away to get the car replaced so had to deal with it.

Hertz is one of the more reliable choices at LAX. The shuttles are frequent and the rental process is pretty straightforward. Lines can be long, but I think this is common now at all rental agencies.

My first time, and I'll be coming back next time I need a car rental! Managing the reservation was easy and flexible on the QEEQ app, and the price I found on QEEQ beat those I found on any other platform.
