APOLLO_MOTORHOME CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Booked for 9 AM, but the car was still being washed when I arrived at 9:40 AM. Hope it can be ready on time next time.

Acceptable

Excellent!

The rental service from ZuzuCar was very poor, and I probably won't use them again. We booked a full insurance package on the website, but upon arrival to pick up the car, we were informed that we had only paid for the car itself. Additional fees for insurance, extra mileage, pre-purchased gas, and so on needed to be paid separately. Calling ZuzuCar's customer service on-site did not resolve the issue; they simply told us to pay the extra costs ourselves. There was no coordination between ZuzuCar and Apollo. We ended up spending nearly two hours at the pick-up location. In the end, we had to buy additional insurance and cover other costs ourselves, paying over 600 AUD more than originally planned. After returning home, ZuzuCar's customer service continued to ignore us, and there has been no word on compensation so far. However, Apollo's service attitude was quite good.

Many motorhomes available; professional inspection during pickup and quick, easy return process.

The camper van was very new, less than 30,000 kilometers. The self-drive experience was fantastic!

Aggressive promotion of insurance, firmly declined!

Overall okay, but there were additional charges added during the rental. It is recommended not to buy insurance in advance in your home country, but rather purchase it directly when you are there.

Company staff take up time by explaining insurance policies even when we insist we don't need them. Note that a card payment of AUD 5000 is required as a deposit when picking up the car, along with a AUD 100 handling fee. By opting for their first-tier package, the deposit can be reduced to AUD 2500, and the second-tier package waives the deposit completely. However, with the insurance we already bought on the rental platform, spending AUD 900-1500 is unnecessary.

We had to spend over 700 AUD for additional insurance at the car rental place! Otherwise, we would have to pay a 4500 AUD deposit, with a 10% non-refundable deposit fee. So, we had no choice but to buy extra insurance.

The process of picking up the car was extremely slow, even though I had pre-registered online as required. The actual waiting and processing time on the day was three hours. The main reason was the lack of staff, who were also doing multiple tasks, such as answering hotline calls in the middle of helping customers. The handover of the vehicle was rather careless; they started serving the next customer before fully addressing my questions. It was even more frustrating when I was left to inspect the car myself and couldn't find anyone to assist when I had questions. When I asked another staff member for help, they coldly refused, saying they were not familiar with my order and were too busy, and insisted I continue looking for the designated staff without offering to help (e.g., by contacting the assigned personnel).

Waited an entire day to get the car, very frustrating. The rental company said it wasn't their responsibility. If it's not theirs, then whose? We lost a day's worth of our journey and had to rearrange the entire trip. Who will compensate for this loss? Extremely dissatisfied, would not recommend renting from this company.

Besides the daily rental cost of around 600 yuan, there was an additional charge of $0.45 per mile. I traveled around 2200 miles in the West and was charged an extra $1000 when returning the car. Additionally, I was charged $180 and $33, which brought the total extra costs to approximately 10000 yuan. The rental company claimed that a tank of fuel could last 400 miles, but in reality, it only lasted about 280 miles, with each tank costing around $140. The fuel consumption was excessively high at about 33 liters per 100 km, which is far from the 25 liters per 100 km mentioned on the rental website. Most of the cash I brought went into fuel!!! Moreover, this poor car rental company only provided basic insurance with a deductible of $1500, meaning small damages would require you to pay out of pocket for repairs. I slightly scratched a car while making a left turn in a narrow parking lot, which will likely cost me $600-700 (deducted from the $1500 deposit for insurance claims). It's outrageous!

There was a Taiwanese guy who spoke Mandarin, which was quite convenient.

The location is relatively easy to find, but they kept pushing their insurance.

The shuttle service staff were absolutely terrible. We waited at the airport for over 2 hours without being picked up. They claimed to have come by twice without seeing us and made no effort to call back or look for us. Other companies' staff came to the entrance to ask around, but the shuttle staff never attempted to contact us within the two hours. We finally noticed a vehicle with the company logo and made our way to the rental company. After we were picked up, the staff's attitude was very poor. The return was almost delayed due to the company's staff negligence and mistakes, nearly causing us to miss our flight. The shuttle lady was still dragging her feet and, despite knowing our tight schedule, she shouted at us, saying it wasn't her problem if we missed our flight.

A young woman lacked patience and was afraid of the cold, unwilling to go outside to teach me how to put on snow chains.

I was the only one picking up the car when I arrived, and the process went smoothly.

There were only two of us in the store, no need to queue, but they really pushed the insurance! They said that a $5000 deposit wasn't suitable. It was our first time renting a camper and we weren't familiar with the process. It was getting dark, so we got a $480 insurance. Thinking back, it wasn't necessary... Oh well...

Good service, efficient
