DARLING HARBOUR CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Like: Terry provided good customer service and was helpful on providing useful information during our pickup and dropoff of the car.

Easy to operate

Pickup and drop-off were quite convenient. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, I was quite satisfied with this rental company.

When picking up the car, we noticed a lot of scratches and dents that were not recorded on the check-in sheet. We asked the staff to note down four spots, but they missed one. When we returned the car at the airport, they insisted it was our fault and made us go to the counter for processing. We were in a rush to catch our flight, which made it extremely inconvenient. Such tricks!

I had a very bad experience with Europcar. The staff made some mistakes on contract so we have been waited for 1 hr to get our cars. After rental, we returned the car to Europcar, the staff there has checked and kept the key. They emailed us again and mentioned we did not return. Also, we were extra charged by Europcar $250+ Aud. And I have to make oversea call to get back my refund. Overall, it really makes us very disappointed with the car rental service.

Large companies are generally more reliable choices

Friendly and efficient service

The car was very good.

Great service attitude, enthusiastic, and fast processing!

I've rented cars in Australia for two years, and this was the most disappointing experience. 1. I chose a Camry but received a Hyundai instead (which is common), but the brake and accelerator were very sluggish, almost causing several dangerous situations. 2. Usually, a staff member leads the inspection with previous rentals, noting any damages and explaining the car's condition. This time, after registering with Hertz, the staff just handed me the key and told me where the car was. There was no car condition inspection! 3. The fuel tank was not full! When I picked up the car, it could go over 400 kilometers, and I didn’t think to check the fuel tank. When returning the car, I refueled it to over 550 kilometers. The staff said it wasn’t full, and I either had to pay a $60 fine or refuel it again. Since I didn’t take a photo of the odometer when picking up the car, I had no proof, and the responsibility for the fuel shortage fell on me. I refueled to over 650 kilometers and returned the car again, meaning the distance I drove in a day was less than the additional fuel the car needed when I picked it up. Overall, a very frustrating rental experience with a poorly maintained car, an empty fuel tank, and unprofessional staff who didn't inspect the vehicle. Not sure if this issue was due to the rental company or the agent.

Where is the promised Chinese service? Where is the promised GPS?

Quick pickup

Returning the car in Adelaide city center was a nightmare! I went there four times in two days and still couldn't return the car successfully. It disrupted my plans for a whole day and cost me nearly 100 AUD in parking and transportation fees!

Test the navigation before starting the trip

Reasonable price, satisfactory quality

Didn't wait long, quite good

The service was thoughtful.

There weren't many people when we arrived, and the process was clear. We got the car quickly!

Quick car return, great!

There were a few people in line, but the staff was very fast.
