Highly recommend

We spent 8 days in Melbourne. The car was pretty good. There were basically no issues. The staff were also nice. Even on Christmas Eve, they were still serving us. It felt great. We can continue to use their services.

Aucar's airport location is very small, and the insurance deductible is very high. The staff are not familiar with their own vehicles. After we took the car, they asked us to return for a re-check. I would not choose this company again.

It was very windy on the day we picked up the car. We made our first call, and they told us to wait at a designated spot. On the second call, we informed them that we were already at the spot, and they said they were on the way and would be there soon. After waiting for more than twenty minutes and freezing, we called a third time and they arrived ten minutes later. When they arrived, they didn't help us with our luggage and just watched us struggle. At the store, we had booked a Toyota Corolla since that's what we use at home. But they gave us a small QQ car instead, which was very cramped for three people and two pieces of luggage. One piece of luggage had to be put in the back seat. They claimed it was the same model, but these cars are not the same at all—it was a complete rip-off.

Poor service and bad experience affected my trip mood. The rental company is run by a Chinese, small in scale and ground. During the return, we had to move our stuff three times from the car. The road to Twelve Apostles Hotel was not very good, some mud splashed on the back of the car. The rental company insisted we wash it. They said we could use their water to wash it ourselves, but they claimed several cars were waiting for a wash, and directed us to a nearby self-service car wash which cost 11 AUD after waiting. Strongly not recommended. If possible, definitely use a larger chain rental company.

Dislike: More information in initial booking regarding pickup location and also insurance add-ons would be good.
