I was forced to buy insurance by customer service I already purchased online.

It is a Chinese company, so communication was easy and their attitude was nice. The pick-up and drop-off were also timely. However, there were some dishonest practices regarding the insurance. 1. I didn’t buy insurance, and the staff said that any incident would cost me 4000 AUD. I asked again if this applied to small scratches as well, and he confirmed that 4000 AUD would be directly deducted, which scared me into buying full insurance there. (I believe compensation should be based on actual damage, up to a maximum of 4000 AUD). 2. They aggressively promoted their GPS service, suggesting that there is no mobile signal on the Great Ocean Road. However, I had signal throughout my drive and could have easily used Google Maps with offline maps. This kind of upselling was a bit off-putting. 3. When returning the car, the inspection was very meticulous. They compared every tiny scratch, even those smaller than a fingernail, with previous records. I recommend purchasing full insurance through a rental platform, as it is much cheaper than buying it from the store.

All staff were professional and courteous. The car was ready on time with all paperwork in order. Pick up and drop off were easy and seamless.

After confirming the time of arrival and contacting the agent for picking us up, it took them almost another 30minutes to get to us. After arriving at their offices, we were informed that the vehicle (Toyota Kluger 7-Seater) which we have booked is not available but they will give us an upgrade from a seven seater to a five seater - we are/were six people! After almost an hour, they gave us another vehicle (Toyota Terraco) with much less space for our family and luggage. The vehicle was dirty as well and not filled up with fuel. We didn't have a choice and had to take this vehicle as we were already late for a function. On our return we were informed that the back bumper was scratched - probably trolley damage. We had to pay a $1000 for the damages. We also filled up the vehicle with fuel and used it only for two days and not three days as paid for - due to all the delays and time wasting, the rental days were only 2 days.

Car condition is good.

Very good so far.

Overall great! Once of his driver/staff was very friendly and helpful to explain some of the local signage! Also, we were given an upgrade of my car due to unavailability of Corolla Hatchback. However there are some hidden cost we need to be aware, like 'toll' device, different type of insurance which we were informed before taking the car, where you can't really do much since you're there.

Overall great platform for getting good deal. It will be good to specify the size of luggage or even the size of boot (in cm dimension). I struggle to find the information. Also if possible to share some of the hidden cost example toll device. Which is not a big deal but to make the transaction more transparent.
