Shouqizuche - Melbourne Tullamarine Off Airport Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

There weren't many people at this Europcar, so no need to stand in line. However, there were very few cars available.

Europcar is pretty good and advised me not to buy insurance directly through the app, as I would still need to pay 6,000 dollars first before getting compensated by the app. This wasn't mentioned on the platform before.

This was the first time I encountered a rental company that required an international driver's license to be accompanied by a translated version with a full English address matching the one on my domestic license. It took a long time to explain to the Europcar counter, and they only agreed to rent the car to us because we had already paid.

This was the first time I encountered a rental company requiring an international driver's license to include a complete English translation of the home country address. After a lengthy discussion with the Europcar counter, they finally allowed us to rent because we had already paid.

Terrible experience. The car return location at Sydney Airport is not near the terminal, making it very difficult to find. This caused me to be over an hour late in returning the car, and they charged me an additional full day's rental. When I complained to customer service, they said it's their policy. This company is staffed entirely by people from India, and their heavy accents make communication difficult. They overcharge unfairly. Very bad review!

Affordable prices

Very satisfied.

The car pick-up instructions at Melbourne Airport were overly simplified, and the staff mostly spoke accented Indian English, which was hard to understand. Other than the slow actions of some foreign staff, everything else was fine.

The vehicle was in excellent condition.

Satisfied

Everything went smoothly.

The vehicle model is perfect for family trips, and the car is in great condition.

Overall satisfactory.

It's acceptable.

I reserved a RAV4 Hybrid nearly two months in advance, but when I arrived at the store, they still told me there were no cars available. I don’t understand the point of booking ahead if this happens. On top of that, even if they were giving me a replacement vehicle, couldn’t they at least give me another hybrid? Instead, they handed me a diesel Hyundai, which is clearly not on the same level. The whole reason I booked a hybrid was to save on fuel costs, and they swapped it with something that has fuel costs even higher than gasoline—a diesel car that ended up costing over a thousand in fuel expenses. Very disappointing.

The service was excellent.

Overall it's pretty good, just the process is a bit slow.

The Melbourne Airport branch is located outside the airport. The counter staff do not speak Chinese, and we waited a long time for the shuttle bus. When we arrived at the branch, we showed them the printed booking confirmation. We were renting the car for eight days, and the quoted cost at the branch was 826 AUD. However, they wanted to charge 1122 AUD. We questioned this, and the staff said it was because we hadn't paid the one-way rental fee. Confused, we signed the paperwork. When returning the car, we realized they had calculated the rental as nine days and added the one-way fee. After arguing our case, they acknowledged it and promised a refund upon vehicle return. Luckily, everything went smoothly. When we returned the car at Adelaide Airport, they were quite good—checked the car's condition, printed the bill immediately, and handed it to us. Overall, a positive experience.
