Wanted a Corolla but got an MG3 instead, which they said was of the same class. Personally felt it was smaller, making it difficult to pack luggage. The car was relatively new with just over 17,000 km on it. Drove 1400 km in 4 days. The engine was a bit weak, especially on hills. Otherwise, the experience was quite pleasant.

The car was in good condition.

The service at this Melbourne branch is poor, maybe because all the staff are women. They don't explain basic vehicle operations, unlike Brisbane. Since it was not a familiar car model, I didn't know whether it had a handbrake or footbrake, and how to open the fuel cap (which was confusing). The most irritating part was that when I returned to retrieve something I forgot just half an hour after returning the car, it was already gone, and they pretended to help me look for it. They had a group of Southeast Asian-looking workers.

Many people choose HERTZ, but we opted for the cheapest option regardless of the company. Although we were a bit worried about the service or car quality, we went with it due to budget concerns. In fact, East Coast Rentals' service was excellent. The only slight inconvenience was that it’s not at the airport, requiring a company shuttle to pick up the car. As soon as we arrived at the lot, we saw a fleet of spotless white cars, all very new. There were no hidden requirements; they simply asked if we wanted to purchase insurance without pushing it. The paperwork was done quickly and we drove off. After returning the car, we even received a text message about the rental details. Great value for money!

The vehicle was in great condition and the staff were friendly.
