ACE Rental Cars - Melbourne - Airport Information, Car hire Instructions & Policies

The overal process to book, pick up and return the car is smooth. However, it is necessary to call the ACE office to arrange shuttle for picking and unfortunately I called over 10 times for almost an hour before someone can pickup the call.

The pick up process is terrible, number never works but been lucky to find a bus there but not a good customer experience

Ace charged the One way fee although i mentioned to the counter staff that i already paid via Easyrentcars and showed the Booking Slip with One way fees is included. Ace counter staff said EasyRent should not charged us instead Ace suppose to charge the Fee and i have paid without any choice. Now i am disputing with Easyrentcars. They are still on investigation. Already 20days gone , just received email asking for Final Invoice. Ace Cars and time taken to Pick up and Drop Off was Excellent.

Excellent customer service. Cars were brand new. Kia shortage.

Good experience and car hire provider, have used a number of times

Great experience, easy to find and quick service

The price was excellent the car was excellent. But not pleased with the customer service. On collection we were given no idea where and how to pick up the car,hadn’t been told it was a shuttle. We also due to restrictions had to change where we were returning the car I phoned 4 times and was told we had to speak to the Melbourne office who never answered the phone only on the 4th occasion did one of your staff take the message and said she would confirm that they had received the message and she took my email address . I got no reply. I then sent a email request which took 4 days to get a reply. So what should have been a straightforward message took several weeks to sort which was on my mind in that time so not impressed

The whole experience with ace rental was smooth and hassle free

The location is a bit far from the airport, making car pickup inconvenient. Refueling during return is also troublesome; if the tank is not full, they charge double. The vehicles are relatively old and need alignment. However, the overall service is good.

It is a bit far from the airport. They use another company's shuttle bus to pick up and drop off customers. The shuttle is a brown minibus with a logo resembling a small squirrel. The car models they lend are relatively old, and most of the cars on the road in Australia are Japanese brands. The service terms are explained fairly clearly.

Pretty good

I found the car pickup location near the airport and the return location in the city through the Zuzuche website and spent nearly an hour researching before confirming the company and car model. However, when I returned the car, they said there was no downtown location. In the end, I had to ask a friend to drive to the airport to return the car for me, and he had to take a taxi back himself. All this stress almost ruined my next day's schedule. The Zuzuche app also showed that the pickup was at the airport and the return was in the city, but both addresses were actually at the airport. I am absolutely certain that I chose the downtown QV area store! I needed to be in that area because I had a trip planned on the Great Ocean Road the next day. Don't shift the blame to the customer! This is unacceptable!

I was not satisfied with the return experience. Before returning the car, I filled up the tank at the petrol station. Since I drove only a short distance to the store, it should not have consumed much fuel, and the fuel gauge should still be full. However, the car I used that day might have had a faulty fuel gauge, showing a one-third fuel usage for just a few kilometers of driving. The store charged me an additional 50 AUD plus the actual fuel used, totaling 54 AUD (i.e., 50 AUD service fee and 4 AUD for fuel). I find this unreasonable. As a frequent customer (you can check my rental history), I always refuel at the same station before returning the car. This time was no different, and I proactively informed the inspector about the fuel gauge issue. Despite this, the inspector noticed that the gauge showed one-third fuel used and still insisted that I pay the 50 AUD service fee and the fuel cost. I wonder why they didn't check the fuel gauge issue first after I reported it and then proceed according to the contract terms for an empty gauge.
