At the Hertz counter in Sydney airport, the staff member tried to take advantage of my poor English by adding full insurance without my consent. Do they think I’m bad with numbers too? I kept refusing, and with the help of a nearby Singaporean Chinese woman who translated for me, I finally understood that even if the incident was someone else's fault, I would still owe $5000 AUD without full insurance. Seriously? Who makes such rules? Do they have such authority? Eventually, they changed it to basic insurance upon my insistence!
The person handing over the car was Indian. If you don't buy the insurance they recommend (100 AUD), they find excuses and give you a car with potential issues. The staff who collected the car were very unprofessional, and seemed like dubious Indians, finding faults with the car.
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.
No-one assisted me to check the car over when I picked up the car. There were a few scratches and they just told me to take a picture.
Someone really should walk around the car.
The staff at the counter was very friendly. I also called to change the pick up location before had and they were very flexible and efficient.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
When I used text chat to ask about the pick up location, the person I had didn’t know the answer. It was a bit disappointing although I later found it on previous email.
Hertz has a counter right at the T2 exit. Initially, there was no one there, and we almost got lost. Fortunately, someone arrived after a while. Service was acceptable; people in Sydney generally aren't very enthusiastic, maybe it's just how city folks are. We had to walk around a bit to find the pickup spot; without guidance, it wasn't very convenient.
When returning the car, I had definitely refueled it completely, but I didn't keep the receipt. During the inspection, they insisted that the tank wasn't full. I explained multiple times, and they still said they would refuel it. If it was less than 5 liters, there would be no charge, otherwise they would charge me 29 dollars. Later, I found out they charged me 29 dollars. Also, renting a child safety seat for 3 days costs 80 dollars, which is too expensive. My friend also booked a car with me but forgot his credit card. The rental company refused to rent the car to him and wouldn't refund or cancel the reservation. We decided to rent a car on the spot, but the company quoted us 1000 AUD per day, which is ridiculously high.
Picked up the car early in the morning, no queue. The service was mediocre, the staff's attitude was neither warm nor cold. Couldn't find the handbrake and asked for help; although the staff seemed somewhat unwilling, they did help eventually. Overall, Australian officials tend not to be friendly towards Chinese, but local people are generally quite enthusiastic.
