I’ll be definitely using the company again

My dad and I flew from Perth to Sydney and arrived at Sydney Terminal 2. Without checking any guides, we realized we needed to take a shuttle bus to Ace Car Rental's office outside the airport. I called customer service and was told to dial a 1800 number to arrange the shuttle bus. An Indian person with a strong accent answered and instructed us to exit through the main gate and turn left. Despite following these instructions, we couldn't find the location. We asked over five people inside the airport before finding out that the Ace shuttle bus stop had no clear signs. After a lot of hassle, we finally reached the Ace shuttle bus stop and had to wait for two hours with no bus arriving. My dad, who is 74 years old and has Parkinson's, was hungry and freezing at the airport for almost three hours (we landed at 5 PM and it was nearly 8 PM). My dad's condition worsened, so we decided not to go to Ace and instead rented a car from Avis at a higher price. When I called Zuzuche (the booking platform) to request a refund or to switch rental companies, they refused, claiming it was past the pickup time. We are still in dispute with Zuzuche and Ace about getting a refund for the rental fee. After reading reviews about Ace mentioning issues like the oil light warning, arbitrary deposit charges, and long waits at the Ace office, I believe that my decision was correct. Otherwise, who knows what could have happened to my dad.

No upselling

I thought the car( Toyota hybrid) was extremely easy to drive and very economical

Car was almost brand new. Top condition. Staff friendly and helpful. Additional insurance was offered, but we did not require it.

Since last time, when I rented ACe car, there has been a change to the toll fee payment system : while previously it allowed to pay it myself ( via Linkd), which was easy, straightforward and cheap, current system supposedly does not allow any other option but whether to pay flat fee 15 Aud daily for the length of car rental ( which for 5 days is 75 Aud0, or so called admin fee at about 38.50 Aud 9 not sure what costs so much to just register the car?//0 plus the actual fee ( which - driving to Canberra, for example is twice 4 AUD), altogether the cost is 46.50 AUD to pay toll of 8 Aud driving car to Canberra. This is just hidden cost, and it would be just fair to see, why the admin fee is so extortionately high ( what is so difficult to register the car? with Linkd it is easy via app on the phone and takes 2 minutes, no more).
