Took a couple of days to get used to right-hand drive, but felt accomplished afterward!

We filled up the gas tank near the airport before returning the car, but were still unfairly charged AUD 35.82 for refueling. This is very unreasonable, and we haven't received a response or refund after lodging a complaint. At pickup, they aggressively pushed insurance with no Chinese service available, making communication very difficult. We didn't get the car model we booked and were forced to take a larger car with an additional charge.

Hertz is really great, especially with zero excess insurance, which gives me peace of mind.

They kept trying to sell me commercial insurance for $30 a day. Fortunately, I asked a friend back home who told me not to buy it because the rental fee already includes insurance. What they were selling locally is likely similar to the non-deductible insurance in our country. If you're an experienced driver from home, you don't need to buy it. Remember, don't change lanes recklessly—foreigners drive by the rules.

Everything was fine except for the language barrier. Simple enough, but the promised provisional hold turned into an actual charge, and I have no idea when it will be refunded!
