Wasn't the car we had booked but that's ok. The guy at the desk tried to pressure us into taking out the extra insurance. It seems their staff are trained to push for this as the lady next to him repeated the exact same speech to another customer. I treated the car as my own. Garaged it every night. When we took it back there was a scratch on a wheel cover. They took all my bond pending a damage investigation. It's wear and tear! I have rented cars for 15 years and have never had any sort of problem. Until I met these guys.

Excellent service. There is a free shuttle from the terminal, which takes about ten minutes. Picking up the car outside the airport not only saves money but also avoids the complex traffic within the airport area. Staff attitude is great, and both the pickup and dropoff process are quick. Highly recommend.

The service is quite standardized, but it's important to carefully listen to the staff's explanation. They might upgrade your vehicle, and I agreed without fully understanding, but it turned out to be worth it. I got a Camry instead of a Corolla for just a little over 200 per day.

The car was in great condition and the service was good. Self-service return was very convenient. Picked up the car from Brisbane Airport, but the pickup location was not within the airport. There was a free shuttle bus, but the order didn’t specify the shuttle bus location. It took some effort to figure it out; hopefully, this will be marked in the future.

The staff saw that there were three of us and suggested that we switch our original booking of a Mitsubishi 7-seater SUV to a Toyota. Indeed, the road conditions from Brisbane to Gold Coast and around the Gold Coast are very good, so there's no need for an SUV. The Toyota was almost brand new and the baby seat was also new, and the rental price was 25% cheaper.

Overall, I’m quite satisfied. The staff member was very patient. My English is poor, so I couldn’t communicate well. I used a translator, and he patiently typed in each word for me to translate. It seems he also had an accent, so it was understandable that I couldn't catch everything, haha. Even the translator couldn’t fully understand him, and we had to manually input words. The part that was unclear to me was about insurance options. After communicating for about 10 minutes, I roughly understood there were several insurance types: full coverage, partial coverage, and something more basic. In the end, I chose one for $35 with a $5,500 deductible. I suggest they create an advertisement leaflet to show customers directly—it would make things much simpler.
