When I picked up the car, there was only half a tank of fuel. The staff told me to return it with the same amount. When I returned it, there was even more than half a tank, and the staff said it was fine. However, they later charged me $110 for not refilling the tank completely! I sent multiple emails to the rental company and they only replied that they would handle it, but it's been almost 10 days with no update! I have to keep sending emails; the service is terrible.
East Coast Car Rentals is quite large and professional, with friendly staff. It was likely off-peak season when I visited, so there were no queues for picking up or returning the car.
Overall, it's quite good. We picked up the car at Melbourne International Airport; the store is about 10 minutes away from the airport with a shuttle service. The service was decent, although the receptionist's attitude wasn't great when she saw we were from China. The car was relatively new. The drop-off location is in the city center and easy to find with GPS. Overall, it was pretty good and reasonably priced, recommended.
There is no storefront at the airport, and I waited a long time, making several calls, even contacting the domestic rental website, before the free shuttle arrived. It wasted a lot of time, and I will never choose this company again. The deposit of AUD 1000 is higher than other companies, and it was only released a month after returning home. Additionally, my credit card was charged AUD 24.18 after returning, without any explanation or receipt. I rented cars from other companies twice before in Australia and never encountered such issues. It's terrible.
Awesome customer service and assistance from the representative, Ana. Clear instructions and smooth pick up of the car. New, clean and spacious car to have during the holidays. Thanks
