The worst restaurant I encountered on this trip. Because I don't speak and listen English well, I usually use Google Translate to communicate when I travel around the world, and it's fine. But in this restaurant, the staff at the cashier counter was extremely impatient. If the communication was not smooth, he started to have a sour face throughout the whole process, as if I owed him 1 million. Please, I came to your restaurant to consume, not to see your sour face! If you don't want to receive guests like me, please write in big letters at the door: No foreigners, no foreigners who can't speak English, no foreigners who can't speak Russian, no foreigners who can't communicate smoothly with this restaurant. Don't worry, if you write these on your store door, we foreigners won't come to see your sour face!

8. Summary:
Throughout the review process, I had three feelings about Express Car Rent:
(1) They had no customer awareness and were completely unable to think from the customer's perspective: They did not proactively inform the customer when the engine fault light came on, and pushed all the responsibilities onto the customer. They lost control and reprimanded the customer, refusing to provide the customer with relevant information on the grounds that "my father is in a bad situation and I have no time to discuss with you some fine"; they called the customer's international roaming phone number (with an international area code of +86, don't you know that this is a foreign phone roaming in Armenia) before the return time; they asked the customer to send photos before the return time, and treated the customer like a thief!
(2) Questionable credibility: They told me that many cars in Armenia would have engine fault lights on, but in fact, they did not. In fact, they gave me a car with an engine fault light on, which was risky and made me nervous throughout the trip.
(3) Vehicle quality and cost-effectiveness: I have already mentioned the quality of the vehicle, so I will not repeat it. Later, I also looked at the prices of Hyundai Elantra from other car rental companies in Yerevan. Obviously, Express Car Rent is not competitive. Interested netizens can compare it by themselves.
Finally: Express Car Rent was the worst experience of my entire trip to Armenia. The company and the people I met were the shame and misfortune of the Armenian car rental industry, and even gave foreign tourists a negative impression of the country. Fortunately, I met more kind, hospitable, enthusiastic and sincere people in Armenia. They are the conscience and pride of this country!
Express Car Rent does not need to defend itself by saying "different countries and cultures have led to misunderstandings". As I said before, I have rented cars and driven in more than 40 countries. All the problems I stated here are the first time in my more than 10 years of global car rental and driving experience! You, Yerevan Express Car Rent, are ranked "1st" in all of the above questions, which is shameful!
