I booked a car from Hertz through QEEQ to rent in Cairns, Australia. The car I received was very new, just over 20,000 kilometers, and in excellent condition. Hertz's staff were very patient in answering all questions. Picking up the car at the airport was extremely convenient as the rental signage was clear and the rental location was right next to the baggage claim area.
