Melbourne - Great Ocean Road - Melbourne - Sydney

Very good, the process was clear and there was no upselling of additional insurance.

The staff is quite patient

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.

Good service attitude and easy to find the location.

Customer reception was a little dodgy. I was pressured to pay for an upgrade. The company didn't actually have the compact vehicle I had booked, but did not disclose this. I persevered with my booked smaller vehicle and the company rep had to admit that they could only supply a larger vehicle (for no extra cost). The vehicle also had some cosmetic damage that was not disclosed. I had to take my own photos to prove to Hertz that the vehicle had some damage that their own pre-rental inspection did not show.

Excellent service - will use it again!
