Great Ocean Road

The staff at the store were very enthusiastic, and most of the service instructions were clear. The car exchange at Melbourne Avalon Airport could be improved a bit.

Very good. The service attitude was great and the location was easy to find.

Trustworthy

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.
