Overall I thought it was good and I would use them again, mainly based on price. Pros- Convenient shuttle service, fast pick up process and great staff! Cons- Drop off instructions were a little confusing to say the least, car seemed to have missed a service and I thought I was getting a Toyota Carolla and got a Kia Rio. Nothing against Kia’s, I like them but the vehicles class, size, ride comfort aren’t comparable at all and knew was doing a lot of driving so that was kinda disappointing. But overall I’d still recommend

Do not recommend as we booked and paid for our car for after hour pick up and we ended up having no car, no one to call and the lovely shuttle bus driver who was also incharge of the hotline after hours us to get an Uber home and come back the next day. He was also unable to reach bargain car rental. Vehicle condition is bad, with dents and scratches everywhere and dirty interior, check in staff was rude and refuse to solve any problems, email communications and instructions were not clear on timing which caused a lot of inconvenience and money at the end

Good, modern and clean car. Faultless and highly efficient customer service from staff at Melbourne Airport branch. Be prepared for a bit of a wait (20+ min or so) for the shuttle from the Airport to collect the car. I'm not sure what collection times are like for the in-terminal car rental services so possible that wait for shuttle is overall evened out by speedy desk service at the office?

Booking was easy but the process of picking up and rude staff made me ensure I would not book with Bargain Rentals again, if the price difference is not too much I implore others to use other providers, the service was terrible - maybe because it was night and the staff were tired, the drop off staff were much more pleasant in the morning.

I was served by Karen at Bargain, Melbourne Airport, she was friendly, professional and provided me with all the help and queries that I needed. The vehicle that we had collected was very clean and there was even a slip showing us when the vehicle was last checked and serviced. Collecting and returning of vehicle was very quick and seamless (unless, of course, many other people were in the same queue as you). I would recommend getting your rental vehicle from Bargain.

Waiting for the car at the airport was okay, but at the store, no one spoke Chinese, so everything was communicated in English, which was manageable. The car was quite old, so I asked them to mark the scratches, and they were very cooperative. However, the deposit was supposed to be refunded within a week, but it's been almost a month and still no updates.

The car pickup service was very slow, with only one or two receptionists, and each customer took at least ten minutes. I had to wait in line for at least an hour. When returning the car, I filled up the tank at a gas station just one kilometer away and even kept the receipt. However, the staff said it wasn't necessary. After I returned home, I was charged $65 for refueling, claiming there was only one-eighth of a tank left. This is blatant fraud and extortion. Absolutely unacceptable.

When driving at 30 kilometers, it showed insufficient urea. I had to buy urea myself and wasn't reimbursed. They also pushed us to buy their insurance, claiming Chinese insurance is all a scam. I wasted an extra hour in traffic buying urea to avoid potential issues when returning the car. When I got to the return location, they were off work, and there was no clear signage for returns, leading to a deduction of my entire deposit. To summarize, Ezu is a terrible rental car company. I strongly recommend never choosing this company, even if others are more expensive. I've never encountered such poor service in my life.
