I was rear-ended and returned the car to the rental company. The staff had a very unpleasant attitude, which was uncalled for! I was the victim, and I didn't want the car to be damaged either! I paid for the initial repair costs myself, and then I swapped for another car, but had to return it at the airport. The city office told me that I could claim the repair receipt at the return location, but when I got to the airport, nobody explained anything. I almost missed my flight after trying to explain for 40 minutes. Their service and efficiency were truly disappointing. However, a Chinese girl in charge of cleaning cars helped translate and explain for us, and her attitude was much better than those at the front desk. Unfortunately, there were no Chinese-speaking staff or interpreters at all at the airport. Though we could communicate, many technical terms were hard to understand. This is clearly worse compared to other car rental companies.

The staff at the front desk were very nice, but they said we could pay in cash when picking up the car. However, they charged my card instead, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, I was very satisfied, and the car was in excellent condition.

I picked up the car in downtown Melbourne. The young man kept trying to upsell me to a hybrid Camry for nearly double the price. I told him I already drive a hybrid in my home country and that the Cruze would be fine. Despite that, he insisted on giving me the keys to experience it. Do I really seem that naive? The Cruze's condition was good, everything you need is there, and with just 40,000 km on the odometer, it still felt relatively new.

The service was fast and convenient, and the condition of the car was surprisingly good. Picking up and returning the car both took less than 10 minutes. There was a support phone line, which I called twice, and they answered all my questions with great attitude. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Picking up the car took about 10 minutes. They asked if I wanted to buy insurance, and I said I already had another insurance policy. They said that was fine. The car had about 24,000 kilometers on it and some scratches. The front bumper had significant scratches, probably from entering and exiting underground parking lots, but I didn't mind much. When returning the car, the signs for the return area at Adelaide Airport were too small, and I had to circle around twice to find it. Returning the car was very convenient; the staff just recorded the mileage and the fuel gauge and told me 'It is OK!' I mentioned the car seemed old because I drove it a lot. They replied it was a new car that had only been rented 16 times. Overall, the experience was very good. 8 days, over 1,000 kilometers, from Melbourne - Great Ocean Road - Adelaide.
