I booked a child seat through the rental company, but when I arrived at Melbourne Airport, the rental counter said I hadn't reserved it in advance and they didn't have any available on the spot. They told me I had to find a child seat myself before my 2-year-old son could get in the car! I made countless phone calls and searched all over the airport and nearby areas, but couldn't find any child seat rentals or sales. Talking to the rental company's representative over the phone didn't help either. Eventually, the rental company told me to come back the next morning to pick up the car, maybe they would have a child seat, but only 50% chance, and they couldn't guarantee it. Fortunately, the rental company called me later in the evening to inform me that a child seat was available.

The store is located inside the airport, it's a large company with a wide variety of vehicles and good vehicle conditions.

Car was not cleaned from earlier booking.

Booked a Toyota RAV4 or medium SUV. but was given a Holden trax and I eventually found that’s a small SUV. the staff claimed it is a medium one. I got 5 ppl and 4 luggages which it was hard for me to fit all things inside the car. Dislike the company a lot with my bad experience.

Like: Excellent car, new and very clean. The guy at the drop off area was extremely helpful, very friendly and made sure all of my items were out of the car before he would let the cleaners take it, top marks to this gentleman a very positive to the previous young lady at the service desk.
Dislike: The young lady at the service desk was extremely rude; instead of looking at me she looked down at me, no smile, didn't explain the conditions properly as my insurance was through easy car hire, after she looked at my print out from easy car hire regarding the insurance her response was rather abrupt and unfriendly. Did not properly explain the $100 deposit they imposed on me, it told her I had already paid a deposit to easy car hire. Maybe I got some of it wrong but she was damn right rude and unhelpful. The experience left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I have hired many cars in my life time but never experienced such bad customer service before. I was the only customer there I got the feeling she didn't like dealing with older people. Changed my mind about every hiring a car from Europe Car Hire in Darwin again.
