Hello everyone, I'm arriving in San Francisco tomorrow and picking up a rental car. I just wanted to ask, if I've already paid the full amount on the app, do I still need to leave a deposit when I pick up the car ?

I arrived at San Francisco Airport at 20:25 on the evening of the 24th local time. I need to adjust to the time difference and won't be picking up the car in the city until the 26th. I would like to ask a few questions: first, how long does it take to go through customs? Second, I will be taking a taxi from the airport to a hotel near Union Square with my five-year-old child. I heard that California requires a safety seat, but I'm not sure if there will be one in the taxi. Third, it would be even better if there's someone leaving San Francisco on the 26th to join me in driving on Highway 1 ? United States Q&A

I'm picking up a Chrysler midsize MPV from Philadelphia Car Rental, and when I got there, there was a freshly waxed Toyota Sienna. So I asked the rental company to switch vehicles. Because the car was wet, I didn't check it carefully, and only after I drove off did I realize that there was a long scratch from top to bottom on the right side of the car. I wonder if there will be any problems when I return the car? Have any of your friends had similar problems ? United States Q&A

The return fee in the United States is really like robbery! I returned the car at the Los Angeles airport, and the gas station was less than 1km away from the return point. After topping up the gas, I received feedback today saying that the fuel level was not enough. How much do I need to fill up to be considered full? Does it need to overflow? Where can I read the fuel level? When returning a rental car, you need to be careful, as there are traps everywhere ? United States Q&A

I have heard many friends who have gone on Road trips in San Francisco and Los Angeles say that their cars were broken into and their luggage was stolen. In such a situation, should we first report to the police and then go to the car rental company to change the car? Is the car replacement free of charge? Does the theft and robbery insurance included when renting a car cover the loss, or do we need to purchase separate glass and tire insurance? We have driven in foreign countries many times before, but this is our first time in the United States, and we have never encountered a situation where our car was broken into. We are not sure how to handle it if it happens ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
