The car was so dirty that I asked for another car. The second car was not much better (garbage, crum

The pickup guy was enthusiastic and chatty.

Staff are all Chinese and communication in Mandarin is smooth. They provide driving training for beginners before renting, which is commendable. However, they gave us a downgraded Chinese-made seven-seater car with poor performance and high fuel consumption. The fuel tank was almost empty at handover. It's really baffling why a Chinese-run rental company doesn't follow international standards (foreign rental companies usually hand over cars with a full tank and upgrade if the same class is unavailable).

The car rental company charged 50 AUD for cleaning a child seat, which is highly unreasonable! When returning the car, I checked the vehicle thoroughly inside and out with the staff, and they said everything was fine and asked me to sign. Before leaving, I confirmed again with the staff that the car had been inspected and there would be no charges to my credit card, except for the highway tolls as those could not be billed immediately. However, after I returned to China, the car rental company sent a photo of the child seat, claiming it was dirty and demanding 50 AUD for cleaning. This is completely unreasonable! Why wasn't it mentioned on the spot when both parties were present? We knew beforehand that there would be charges if the seat was dirty, so we were very careful while using it and checked thoroughly before returning the car. There was no dirt at all, and the staff had also confirmed this. Now, after returning to China, they send a photo claiming it was dirty and demanding payment. This is very frustrating! Firstly, I checked and confirmed the seat was not dirty when returning the car; secondly, the staff also said everything was fine; thirdly, a photo alone is not convincing; and lastly, any issues should be addressed on the spot when both parties are present—claims made afterwards are not acceptable.

The car I got was great but it was very dirty.

Maybe for AUCars to have a fixed meeting spot for the shuttle. The text just had a number to call. The problem was the heavy accent of the person I called and I called them in the noisey environment of the airport. Maybe in the text nominate the meet spot. The shuttle also needed to be identified maybe two magnetic signs in door of shuttle. Other than that rental was great and staff at AU cars were courteous.
