Very satisfied, both pick-up and return were very convenient

1. No explanation of pre-existing scratches on the car's body at pickup; I had to inspect and take photos myself in a poorly lit parking area. 2. No instructions on how to use the car, like opening the gas cap, high/low beam lights, or wipers. 3. No instruction on how to handle the parking ticket if the self-service return area is full (you need to get a parking ticket before entering the self-service return area). 4. They charged a 100 AUD deposit and 23 AUD for the baby seat rental on my credit card during pickup (the rental on the site was listed as 11 AUD) without notifying me or providing any receipts. I only found out when I checked the bill and called the store. 5. The staff had a terrible attitude when handling car damage after return, showing impatience and using abusive language. 6. Constant upselling to more expensive car models during pickup.

Very professional. Since it's full coverage, no extra check-in or check-out inspections are needed, similar to the no-liability insurance in China. The car was very new, just over 5000 kilometers, much better than the typical 20000 kilometers in China. However, others picking up a car at Franklin Hertz should be aware that the cars are parked in a garage, and you need to drive them down yourself. It's tricky if you're not used to right-hand drive cars yet. You can ask the staff to bring the car to the ground level before handing it over. At Melbourne Airport, there's a dedicated return lane for rental cars. It's a shared lane for all rental companies and not the entrance to a private car parking. Please pay attention to this.

There were long lines, and it took an hour to get the car. There were four staff members available, but some took a long time to serve each customer. The car was freshly washed and clean. Returning the car was quick as they only checked the fuel level. The brakes made a strange noise on the second day, which affected our mood a bit. We later had someone check it and they said it wasn't a big issue. For longer trips, it might be better to rent an SUV for peace of mind.

I booked a [Mid-sized SUV] Nissan Qashqai or a similar model, but received an [SUV] Hyundai ix35 instead. That’s not fair. At the time, I was focused on picking up the car and didn’t think much about it. After checking, I found a significant price difference. I request compensation for the price difference.
