I was forced to buy insurance by customer service I already purchased online.

It is a Chinese company, so communication was easy and their attitude was nice. The pick-up and drop-off were also timely. However, there were some dishonest practices regarding the insurance. 1. I didn’t buy insurance, and the staff said that any incident would cost me 4000 AUD. I asked again if this applied to small scratches as well, and he confirmed that 4000 AUD would be directly deducted, which scared me into buying full insurance there. (I believe compensation should be based on actual damage, up to a maximum of 4000 AUD). 2. They aggressively promoted their GPS service, suggesting that there is no mobile signal on the Great Ocean Road. However, I had signal throughout my drive and could have easily used Google Maps with offline maps. This kind of upselling was a bit off-putting. 3. When returning the car, the inspection was very meticulous. They compared every tiny scratch, even those smaller than a fingernail, with previous records. I recommend purchasing full insurance through a rental platform, as it is much cheaper than buying it from the store.

The car certainly exceeded my expectation, all around. It was a near new car, so it was beautiful to drive and the condition was immaculate. The service was good, but the premises are far from professional. The driver that picked us up was the same that did the paperwork, took us to our car and took tons and tons of pictures of the car, tyres, rims, everything. Very Very fussy lender. He ran the show all by himself on pickup. In my many experiences of car rentals, this is the first time I have been asked to provide a receipt to prove that I have filled up with fuel before dropping off the car.

The booking platform worked well. I found that the bond of $1500.00 was excessive, and I am not sure any mention of that was made at the time of booking. Not everyone has an extra $1500.00 in their account, unexpectedly.
