Like: Excellent price, good location, friendly staff, efficient check in process including shared photos of cars condition at checkout, very quick no hassle return. The Outlander SUV was well used with many minor blemishes but was clean and in excellent mechanical condition delivering good fuel economy, averaging about 7.5l/100km over the approximate 3500 km trip.
Dislike: Front floor mats would help us keep the vehicle clean and free from sand.

We arrived early and called Apex to ask if we can get picked up slightly early for our reservation time but they said no so we waited at the airport. however, the shuttle ended up arriving super late to go to the shop so we were unable to get the car and go to our appointments so we had to cancel. Very strange. But after we picked up our car, there was no problem.

Apex was reluctant to deal direct with me since I had booked through a 3rd party. Several phone calls were made to adjust my pick-up time. The woman at the pick-up counter suggested that it's not convenient to book through a 3rd party and we should have booked direct.

After we got rear-ended by another car and had to go back to the rental company again, there was zero to none sympathy for us from the first lady who helped us, which we thought was really weird. The next lady who helped us with additional paperwork was a bit more friendly luckily.

Staff were really good and fun to talk to. Vehicle was similar to the one rented, Toyota Corolla saloon instead of Hyundai Elantra but took all our luggage no problem. Whilst in Australia we had an issue with the fuel gauge not working properly (did it's own thing basically) but Apex records it when I contacted them so there were no issues upon return. Overall I will definitely rent from them again.

Car was not ready when we arrived which was really annoying as we had spent hours travelling and just wanted to get on the road. The car was only cleaned on the outside not the inside. The gentleman that served us was dripping with sweat which was a little disgusting as he was dripping all in the car and all over car seat when he installed it. We won’t be using again simply because we found the whole pick up process so disorganised

Apex Car Remtal actually took ( nit blocked) $2750 bond out of credit card “as I lived within 200 km of the Apex office” - this was certainly not made clear in the booking info. This was to be returned after returning the car. I returned the car the same afternoon. After 3 days the $2750 is still not back in my account. I enquired. They said the refund can take 3-5 working days! They also did not tell me that! Terrible experience. Will never recommend this company .

Pick up should have more details about after hours as we needed to be picked up and taken 85 km because there was no contact A/H number.We made our own arrangements with rental company and had to be driven another 45 km to rental depot near Coolangatta.Rental company told us we needed to drop off car day before due as it needed to be back by 4.30pm. Our flight left before they opened, but QUEEQ clearly states " for out of hours droppoff , leave in any Budget or Avis rental space at Gold Coast Airport. Car Rental people would not agree to this, so again we needed a lift to Gold Coast Airport at 5am to fly out. Terrible terrible costly experience You need to sort out your after hours service ,in this day and age I would describe your service as Draconian . Remember "The world is awake 24/7 not 12/5.

I refueled the car before returning it but wasn't informed to keep the receipt. When returning, the fuel gauge wasn't full, and the staff asked for the receipt, which I didn't have. However, they said it was fine since it was just a small difference. Overall, it was quite a smooth rental experience. Though I booked a Corolla, they gave me an MG, which was too big and affected my driving experience. On the bright side, there were no hidden fees.
