    When renting the car, they suddenly asked if we hadn't called in the morning to say we would pick up the car in the afternoon. We were confused because we were on the plane. Fortunately, after a brief conversation, they realized they had made a mistake and quickly completed the paperwork, allowing us to get the car.

    The rental process is very convenient. Just provide the order, driver's license, and translation, and it's quickly processed. When picking up the car, they directly tell you the location, and you go there yourself, completely self-service. Returning the car is just handing over the keys, and no one checks the car. Very convenient.

    We arrived on a late flight, and it was very convenient to handle the car pickup right after exiting. The staff was very professional and informed me that I had booked a relatively large seven-seater car. When I requested to switch to a smaller SUV, the staff recommended one for me and saved me around a hundred dollars. The only issue was due to my limited English skills, I had trouble communicating about buying insurance, but I resolved it using a translation app. Returning the car was also very simple. After receiving the keys and asking if the tank was full and if there were any damages, the staff told me to go ahead with my flight check-in. Overall, renting a car in Australia is convenient and quick!
