No matter how careful you are, there's always some kind of fees to be charged and they never tell you this, e.g. premium location charge, which was never mentioned to me neither when I booked the vehicle nor when I met the counter staff to collect the car.
I went to pick up the car with a printed order and English translation. A rude overweight woman saw I was Chinese and demanded an international driving permit and NATI certified translation. Ended up not renting the car. I asked for a non-rental certificate, but she said I wasn't her customer and should contact the third-party. Really bad experience. I then rented a car from AVIS without any issues. Definitely a bad review for this company!
The female staff member was slow and kept wandering off to talk to others. She seemed discriminatory towards Chinese people, asking if I was Chinese, and once confirmed, the paperwork became excessive and time-consuming. Every single document was copied multiple times, which was not required at other counters or with other tourists. Previously, we rented from other companies and the process took only 5 minutes. She took over 45 minutes even though I emphasized I was only renting for half a day and was in a hurry. Despite being clear that I didn't need anything extra, she insisted on adding an extra driver fee (which I didn't have to pay on previous days in Australia) and sneakily added full insurance despite my refusal. Due to the time pressure, I didn't notice it until later. If I could rate her negatively, I certainly would. Never renting from this company again.
Friendly staff, but the process took too long. There were only 5 people ahead, but we waited for an hour. Not sure what those foreigners were talking about, but each took a long time. On the other hand, a Chinese customer with a pre-booked order got through very quickly.
