There were basically no disappointments during the trip. Everything went smoothly as planned.

I'm completely speechless about the car rental company's customer service this time. 1. Normally, car rental refunds take about 10 days, but they said it takes one to two months, which they claim is normal. 2. When I bought insurance, local insurance was over 400, while the rental company's insurance was less than 200. Of course, I chose their insurance. However, when I got there, local insurance was only a bit over 200, and when I hit a kangaroo and the accident was my fault, the company's insurance wouldn't cover it, while the local insurance would. So, I ended up paying for all the damages despite having full coverage from the rental company. They just told me over the phone that they wouldn't cover it and never contacted me again or communicated with the local rental company. Because I didn't have local insurance, the rental company insisted on towing the car back, charging me towing fees, additional fees for not refueling due to the towing, and service fees. My car had no issues, even the police confirmed it. I paid for the other driver's damages, but the rental company wouldn't refund me for the days the car wasn't driven. They claimed local laws allowed this, but when I asked them to show me the law, they went silent and handled nothing. I had to resolve everything directly with the rental company. Between the rental company and their insurance, I felt completely scammed.

I’m not sure if you would consider a Suzuki swift similar to a Kia Rio however as it was just my son and I it didn’t matter as much that it was a smaller car on this occasion. However the car was new and although too small for a family worked well enough for us.

I found it slightly frustrating when I had a question about the car rental and couldn’t call easy rent cars but instead had to write an email and wait for a response. The response came fairly quickly but there was no way for me to know when it would come and had it been a time critical issue, then that may have been a major problem.

Overall good. We have been charged for extra 4l of gas at the end (though we refilled to full 3kms from the airport). Time at the counter was longer than necessary (comparing to other renters, which seem more efficient).

Staff was professional and car pickup process was quick and easy. Car condition was excellent.

Very good and easy to use.
