Average

Car rental company is fine.

We arrived at the airport in the morning and were driven to the car rental company, which took about ten minutes, making it fairly convenient. At the pick-up, the company did not explain the types of insurance. The basic insurance from the rental package covers almost nothing. When we returned the car, the customer service insisted on us providing photos of most of the vehicle's wear and tear... In other words, if you didn't take pictures or they weren’t clear, the company assumes you caused the damage. Although we took photos of some scratches, we missed one, and had to pay 3000 AUD!!! They used a magnifying glass to find the scratches, saying this fee is to activate the insurance. I think this fee is enough to change vehicle parts. Maybe they rely on this to make money? They claimed there are no other Chinese-speaking car rental companies in Australia... I suggest you choose carefully. Typically, basic rental costs from Avis or Budget are not so nitpicky. Even if you buy insurance, take photos of the entire car inside and out, or you never know what trouble you might encounter.

First car we got smelt of puke and there was no available cars for exchange unless we agreed to top up. Had to wait about an hour for the next available car to return but everything else went smoothly after that. Staff were nice and friendly - no issues with returning either.

Good platform that is easy to use and priced competitively

The only negative with the booking experience is the delay in receiving the $1500 deposit. I was told it would take 2 weeks for that amount to be returned to my account. I feel this is too long. Can this be looked into, please?

Try to minimise time taken with paperwork when picking car up
