After returning the car, an inexplicable charge of 1281 AUD was made. Be cautious when selecting.

Very professional, both pick-up and drop-off were quick.

The Hertz service was excellent, very detailed and attentive. The staff in Melbourne recommended additional services based on my situation, such as upgrading the car for $5 a day or prepaying for toll roads. These services depend on personal preference though.

Although I had some reservations about HERTZ pushing me to upgrade the car, to be fair, their service was still pretty good. The wait time in line wasn't long, and while communicating in English wasn't as convenient as in Chinese, I couldn't expect too much while abroad. At pickup, the staff informed me that my reserved Corolla wasn't available and suggested I upgrade to an Audi Q5 by paying extra. I thought it was an additional 18 AUD per day, so I accepted. Later, I found out it was actually 45 AUD per day, totaling 180 AUD for the 4 days. While I was okay with the cost, suggesting a luxury car upgrade immediately did feel a bit pushy. The Q5 was in excellent condition and very new, but there was no manual with the car, making opening the fuel cap a bit challenging. The car was great to drive, and I had no issues, making the rental experience smooth overall. I was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to argue, so I took the risk and accepted the luxury upgrade. The 3 AUD per day charge for roadside assistance added up to a small amount, and since I realized this after the fact, I won't dwell on it.

Like: Nice and Friendly Team and Great Location. Drop off is a breeze!!!
Dislike: Whilst drop off was painless, the pick up was time consuming compared to what I'm used to at other rentals. The amount of up selling the sales guy and his manager tried to do was sort of funny at the start but started to get a bit much and made me uncomfortable. Not only off putting in the end but time consuming. I actually spent money on insurance I would not have because of the constant up selling tbh. So I question were they nice or were they just nice to try to make more money!!??
