Great Ocean Road Twelve Apostles

Almost all the rental and return staff are Indian, it felt like I was in India. However, the service was thorough, fast, and polite, as expected from Hertz.

The car stalled, and we were in a hurry to catch a flight. The company refused to replace the car.

The car condition was okay, and the return process was very convenient. You basically need to do a quick check and you're free to go. However, the pickup and drop-off locations from QEEQ were very unclear. Nobody could accurately tell me the exact location. I suggest adding pictures and more detailed instructions. Additionally, regarding local traffic fines, I recommend that QEEQ provides assistance or directly handles these. This is one of the most important services from an agent. QEEQ is essentially an agent or intermediary, but many things I had to handle directly with third parties. I signed the contract with QEEQ, so I feel like QEEQ is trying to avoid responsibility.

The process of picking up and returning the car was very smooth. The car was in good condition with over 20,000 kilometers on it, and it handled well. Unfortunately, the GPS rented from Hertz had a faulty power connection, causing it to repeatedly lose power unless the angle was constantly adjusted. Later, in Bairnsdale, although there was no GPS available, they helped confirm it was defective and suggested seeking help in Canberra. They also kindly printed out four pages of color Google Maps directions, which was very heartwarming.

The car we received was different from what we booked. We originally booked an SUV Nissan Qashqai (I even provided them with a copy of the rental agreement), but upon pickup, we were given an SUV Hyundai ix35 with several scratches. When we mentioned this to the Hertz staff, they said it was the same category (SUV) so it's fine. However, there was already an SUV Nissan Qashqai nearby. Since it was late, we didn't want to argue further. We hope Hertz can improve on this.
