Great Ocean Road Twelve Apostles, Melbourne

The service was very poor, no smiles, and they provided the worst car of the same type. They charged an additional AUD 33 service fee for a AUD 1.38 toll.

Pickup was a bit slow, mainly because the staff were slow to work. Since the X3 I booked was unavailable, I got a free upgrade to an X5, which was very satisfying. When returning the car, due to staff error, I almost overpaid for fuel. Service needs improvement!

The car rental procedures at Hertz were very simple, both for picking up and returning the vehicle. For the return, they just did a quick inspection of the exterior. I only bought basic insurance and they didn't push for more coverage. The vehicle inspection was straightforward. Due to a long waiting time during pickup, they generously gave a free tank of gas to every customer waiting. A big company with a big heart!

The attitude was good, it was the model I booked, just over 20,000 kilometers. Supplementary full insurance was purchased from QEEQ at ¥201/day, while at the Hertz counter, it costs AUD 32/day, still more appropriate to buy at the counter. Toll fees were charged to the credit card after returning the car, with Hertz charging a service fee. Added a second driver when picking up the car, costing AUD 5/day, and the second driver’s credit card could be used for deposit and payment.

Professional service with no extra sales pitches
