Thrifty is a subsidiary of Hertz. The counter and parking lot are in the same location. However, Thrifty is a budget brand, so the vehicle mileage might be a bit higher, but it was only a bit over 40,000 kilometers, and the overall condition was very good, I'd rate it 95%. The car was well-maintained. The 2.4T Mitsubishi diesel engine was great, fuel-efficient, and powerful even at low RPMs. Moreover, the Mitsubishi Super Select 4WD is very suitable for crossing country forests or rough roads. However, it's not very good for high-speed driving, as the steering wheel feels a bit loose.

The car was very new, and the downtown return location was very convenient.

It's quite convenient as it's located right in the airport arrival hall. However, the queue was quite long, so I had to wait for a while.

Thrifty provided great service. The staff at the branch were enthusiastic, and after checking my driver's license and translation, the process was quick. After paying the rental fee and a 385 AUD pre-authorization on my credit card, I received the car keys. When inspecting the car, the staff noted some small scratches, which I appreciated. During the return process, the staff instructed me to drop the keys in a box without an immediate inspection, which made me a bit anxious. I took photos of the fuel gauge and the car's exterior, but there were no problems. Thrifty later confirmed via email that there were no damages. Overall, I was very satisfied with the services from both QEEQ and Thrifty, and I hope other travelers can have the same experience.

Condition of the car was good. The car was very new. Interior cleanliness was lacking as the seats and carpets were sandy. Exterior cleanliness ok. Engine is in good shape.

Excellent customer service and follow up. Prompt emails and calls every step of the way, and they went the extra mile to secure my booking despite several obstacles. Will recommend them to my peers/
