We filled up the gas tank near the airport before returning the car, but were still unfairly charged AUD 35.82 for refueling. This is very unreasonable, and we haven't received a response or refund after lodging a complaint. At pickup, they aggressively pushed insurance with no Chinese service available, making communication very difficult. We didn't get the car model we booked and were forced to take a larger car with an additional charge.

Hertz service was excellent, very reliable.

Pushing insurance, unfriendly customer service

The vehicle did not have an E toll tag (which most local vehicles are equipped with), so an additional service fee of 25 AUD was charged for tolls that only cost 4 AUD. Foreigners have to register their citizen information on the Australian local network, which involves a series of nearly impossible tasks to pay the tolls online. It's a bit of a rip-off.

As expected from a globally renowned rental company, they have a counter right in the airport arrivals hall just after customs. Although communication was a bit challenging, the contract terms were very clear, and there were various insurance options available from basic to full coverage. The car we picked up at the airport was usually a basic model of its type, without many advanced features. However, the car condition was excellent, very clean as if new. Returning the car was also convenient – just drop the keys with the staff at the airport parking lot and head to your flight~
