Melbourne - Great Ocean Road - Twelve Apostles

Extremely slow

The service was excellent, warm, and attentive. For someone who doesn't speak English, they were very friendly, patient, and meticulous. The vehicle's performance was outstanding, with full features including cruise control and lane departure warning, which was very helpful for me, a newcomer to Australia driving on the left side of the road. It constantly reminded me if I drifted out of my lane. Most importantly, they didn't have any hidden charges. During this Great Ocean Road trip, the only extra costs were tolls, with no other charges for violations or parking fees, which made me very happy. I'll definitely choose this company again when I come back to Melbourne.

This negative review is for Europcar. Despite having cars available, they insisted on giving me a Kia or Nissan. I was headed to the mountains and they gave me a two-wheel drive car, claiming that I wouldn't need a four-wheel drive for the snow. That evening, it snowed and I had to put on snow chains in the freezing cold, something that wouldn't be necessary with a four-wheel drive. The Eastern European staff member with the big nose had an extremely poor attitude, acting like whatever he gave me was the only option. If any Chinese people go there in the future, they should really stand up to him. I rarely leave negative reviews, but if the service industry behaves like they're doing you a favor, who will use their service? Moreover, there were no tourists around, yet he was still making such excuses. Unbelievable.

The 7-seater car I reserved was not available, so I had to switch to a 5-seater car

I think that Europcar can improve its return process because who receive the car were not informative and friendly. So I had to come back to the office service to ask some questions and evething was easily managed.
