The rent was such good value I was a little concerned. Some reviews on other sites were raised caution but we found Aucar to be an excellent provider.
The pick up situation wasn’t the easiest but for the cheaper price you’ll always get off-airport companies! the van came to pick us up after 20mins or so and insisted we used kids car seats, which I found a professional and caring touch.
The car we had matched what we’d booked perfectly (large SUV- the company seems to specialise in them, there were loads!) and was clean and tidy.
Whilst loading my wife needed to breastfeed. Without asking one of the staff came over to ask if she needed anything to assist her, which is a really nice touch.
The staff took photos of the car in my presence and emailed them to me for evidence - nice smart and modern touch.
After rent the handover process was quick and the staff apologised for the delay getting us to the airport, even though it was only 5mins.
In summary we had an excellent car and the staff were professional, efficient and courteous. The value was excellent and I’d recommend giving Aucar a go.
This company lacks integrity and engages in fraudulent practices. They initially attract customers with low prices, then impose additional charges through various means to gain undue profits.
The originally booked SUV was not available and was downgraded. When we got the keys and entered the car, the safety lock was broken, which was unsafe especially for children. We switched to a second car, only to find the air conditioning blew out hot air. After much hassle, we switched to a third downgraded car, wasting nearly 2 hours (from the original 1 PM to nearly 3 PM). In a hurry, we took the third downgraded car, but soon discovered it had no GPS and not even a USB port. During our 4-day Melbourne trip, we had to navigate with 3 phones taking turns. We couldn’t listen to music or take photos to save battery for navigation. Charging phones became our top priority every night at the hotel, or we couldn’t use the phones for navigation the next day. In desperation, we bought a car USB port, which didn’t work in the car but worked fine in a friend’s car, proving the car port was broken. Terrible service!!!
It was nice to be upgraded to a larger car, however the car is in need of a service. We got the car with the ‘47km to service’ light on. It was clear it needed a wheel alignment when we travelled at 100km/hr. The company said it may take up to 14 business days to return the hold on my debit card but I was pleasantly surprised to see it was returned just 2 business days later!
“Booking through Easy Rent Car was stress free, however would never book with Aucar again.”
About Aucar:6.3/10
Highly disappointed with Aucar. Car stank of cigarette smoke, despite the no smoking sign, the car was in very very poor condition with bumps and scratches, and the extra fee ($15) for going through tolls was just unnecessary and too large. Will not book through again.
