    The car rental process was smooth. At the parking lot, a lady introduced Sonatas, Optimas, and Camrys to choose from. I wanted to drive a Fusion, so I asked if there was one available. She said she would check for me. After a while, she brought a 2015 Fusion. The car had about 14,000 miles on it and was in relatively new condition. Returning the car was also smooth; I drove into the parking lot, left the keys under the front windshield, and someone came over to print a receipt, completing the process.

    Super convenient, both picking up and dropping off the car were very quick. The car was ready when we arrived, so we got it immediately; returning the car was just as simple, handing over the keys took less than a minute. I opted for the prepaid fuel option, only to later realize that any leftover fuel wouldn't be refunded. So, if you don't mind the hassle, it's better to pick up and return the car with a full tank, rather than prepaying for fuel.

    I booked a Grand Cherokee, but when I arrived, they said they didn't have any. They offered me a vehicle of the same class instead. First, they gave me a Hyundai, which I found too small. Then, they offered me a silver Dodge, which was incredibly ugly. They also showed me a Kia, but I couldn't even name the specific model. The space was small, and it didn't look good at all. I chose the Grand Cherokee because it's a 4-wheel drive and I had a lot of luggage, including a long snowboard, which required a spacious vehicle. The Grand Cherokee was perfect for these needs and looked classy. But they just dismissed me with 'We don't have a Cherokee right now'. It was raining outside, and my wife and kids were waiting, so I had no choice but to take the Dodge, which was a commercial vehicle. I don't understand how an off-road vehicle and a commercial vehicle can be considered the same class. One costs around 60-70k, and the other 20-30k, yet they're deemed the same class? As expected, it was a disappointing experience. The front wheel got stuck in a small roadside ditch and took a long time to get out. For a novice, it could have been disastrous, especially with no phone signal. I hope they improve their service and credibility.
