Hassle free great car

I've rented cars in Australia for two years, and this was the most disappointing experience. 1. I chose a Camry but received a Hyundai instead (which is common), but the brake and accelerator were very sluggish, almost causing several dangerous situations. 2. Usually, a staff member leads the inspection with previous rentals, noting any damages and explaining the car's condition. This time, after registering with Hertz, the staff just handed me the key and told me where the car was. There was no car condition inspection! 3. The fuel tank was not full! When I picked up the car, it could go over 400 kilometers, and I didn’t think to check the fuel tank. When returning the car, I refueled it to over 550 kilometers. The staff said it wasn’t full, and I either had to pay a $60 fine or refuel it again. Since I didn’t take a photo of the odometer when picking up the car, I had no proof, and the responsibility for the fuel shortage fell on me. I refueled to over 650 kilometers and returned the car again, meaning the distance I drove in a day was less than the additional fuel the car needed when I picked it up. Overall, a very frustrating rental experience with a poorly maintained car, an empty fuel tank, and unprofessional staff who didn't inspect the vehicle. Not sure if this issue was due to the rental company or the agent.

There weren't many people when we arrived, and the process was clear. We got the car quickly!

It was okay. The staff at the front desk were a bit strange. I had already purchased the highest level of insurance on the platform, but when I got there, they asked if I wanted to add even more insurance. For safety reasons, I agreed to buy their highest level, which cost an extra 40 AUD. They also asked if I wanted to pay 19 AUD for a benefit that covers tunnel and highway tolls, claiming that the cost of a single trip through a tunnel or on a highway would normally be over 30 AUD, so this would be a good deal. I declined, saying I could use Google to avoid those routes. After that, the staff stopped talking and their attitude became cold. How can they serve customers like this?

After all, it is a big company with standardized operations and impeccable service. There was a small incident when returning the car; the staff mixed up the order, causing a false alarm. Fortunately, the mistake was found and corrected in time. I rented the car for 4 days, covering approximately 1400 kilometers. Due to the inability to obtain toll and fine information in a timely manner, a pre-authorization of 940 AUD was placed for possible charges. This is understandable, but given today's advanced information technology, I think this could be improved.

Picked up a beautiful electric blue Toyota Corolla, 6000km on the clock, but still the new car smell. Loved driving it, no issues at drop-off.
