Picked up the car at Launceston Airport. On the third day, the car lost power on the way to Cradle Mountain. Since there was no cell signal in the mountains, we couldn't call for help. Fortunately, a passerby helped us call for assistance. We waited at the spot for over two hours, then got towed to Davenport where we got a free upgrade for the replacement car. It took four to five hours in total. The exaggerated part is they charged us extra after returning the car, and only acknowledged it after we queried the details through the bank.

Picking up the car was very convenient, right next to the airport with no obstacles. When returning the car, there were staff waiting in the parking lot. As soon as they saw us pull in, they approached us, checked the car and fuel, and let us go. Very convenient. The car we rented was different from the one we booked, but since the order mentioned 'or similar', it wasn't an issue.

We informed the staff about the collision when returning the car, but they were very impatient and kept questioning us about how the accident happened. We booked a Cruze but were given a very old model Nissan Pulsar instead. The car had no backup radar or alert system, making it very prone to accidents, especially in dark conditions. The experience was far worse compared to Hertz, and we won't choose this company again.
