We put in gas, then drove for another 20-30 minutes before arriving at the rental car place and shutting off the ignition. When we tried to restart the car to show the rental car agent, the car would not start up again. However, the rental car company is ignoring the fact that we were having problems before we put in the gas.
It started as soon as you got on the highway, and you drove it for 20 - 30 minutes? I would have immediately turned back to my starting point and called the Rental's Road Service Number.

I've done this before. They brought a replacement, and there were not further issues.
