Traveled from Melbourne to the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island, plus a trip around Melbourne, co

First of all, the location is very easy to find, right across the street. When we arrived, we were informed that the Camry we booked was unavailable and were given a CHR instead. At the Hertz store, the types of cars are clearly labeled, with the Camry being a full-size vehicle and the CHR being a small-size SUV, yet they used the word 'upgrade' for this change. Upgrade?? The rear space was ridiculously small, the view was extremely limited due to the window design, and the trunk was so small it could only fit two carry-on bags and two backpacks. The Camry has a 2.5L engine, but we got a small 1.2T car, and they call that an upgrade? I had prepaid the full amount; why was there no car for me when I arrived? Shouldn't there have been a reserved car for me? The car was in good condition, with adaptive cruise control and auto hold, so it was likely a 2018-2019 model. However, the noise from the wind and tires was very loud, making the ride much less comfortable (I can compare as I drove a Camry in Sydney). Returning the car was easy, just follow the navigation, which was nice. Overall, I was quite dissatisfied as I chose Hertz for its good reputation in the car rental industry. Quite disappointed.

Major company with a large variety of vehicles, located opposite the airport.

The staff tried to sell us insurance and fuel options when we rented the car. We declined. They also asked if we were going to places off the Great Ocean Road and whether we had prepaid for toll roads. Overall, their attitude was good, but communication wasn't very smooth.

The store is very close to the international arrivals, making it easy to find. The staff are very patient. It's also very convenient when returning the car.

Like: The car was excellent and new
Dislike: Everything was ok
