Before picking up the car, they didn’t ask customers to check the vehicle condition but required a signature for confirmation and pushed extra insurance. When returning the car, they claimed there were scratches and forcibly charged us.
Very satisfied with this car rental experience in Australia. Quick pickup, standardized service, and no unnecessary insurance upselling. Remind everyone to ensure their credit card allows international payments, and it's good to have a backup card. Driving on the left in Australia is easy to adapt to since the driver sits on the right. Also, remember that besides using the navigation, you shouldn't use your phone in the car, or you could be fined a few hundred AUD if caught.
The good thing is the navigation location. The car is on B1. When you exit the basement, press the call button at the exit. The staff's attitude is acceptable.
I reserved a Kia Carnival, but initially didn't buy full insurance. The short blonde woman who assisted me had a bad attitude throughout the process. They gave me a huge Staria, which I later found to be too large, so I decided to purchase full insurance. The vehicle is very large and consumes a lot of fuel, but that's not the main issue. Being a front-wheel drive and not a 4WD, it's very heavy, and struggled to go uphill on gravel roads in Australia. It was very dangerous and slid back several times. On three occasions it got stuck, and we spent a lot of time pushing it out. Overall, the experience was not very good.
We booked a compact SUV, but the rental company initially provided a Kona, which is classified as a small SUV on the rental site. The company explained that their classification differs from the rental site, and for them, a ASX and a Kona are the same category. Fortunately, we found an ASX on site and eventually got it. Otherwise, it would have been a hassle with the price difference dispute, and more importantly, a small SUV wouldn't have fit our luggage.
Picking up the car was very convenient, but it took some time to find the parking lot when returning it.
