This review is not necessarily a review for this specific location. This is more for the company in general. When trying to change the return location, I spent more than seven hours on the phone. Their process for extending and modifying return location is broken.

Rented a car from LAX. The car dashboard indicated low tire pressure the next day. I filled air in the tire and it showed low tire pressure again the following day. I called their helpline and they gave me a case number and asked me to exchange the car to John Wayne airport. I exchanged the car but got an additional charge of $300 for flat tire. How is it my responsibility pay for a new tire when the tire pressure was already low? This is ridiculous
