Easy and great!

The last time I refueled, the nozzle shut off prematurely, so I thought the tank was full. It turned out to be about 10 AUD short. By the time we got to the airport it was already dark, and since we spent a long time looking for the drop-off point, we didn't dare to drive back out to fill up. As a result, we were charged 50 AUD. When picking up the car, the staff did not mention that the car had to be particularly clean. In New Zealand, we only did the necessary cleaning when returning the car and weren't charged for it, so we assumed Australia would be the same. As we didn't have vacuuming equipment, the kids ate snacks in the car and left crumbs behind, making it hard to clean thoroughly. Plus, we didn't see any car wash places along the way. Consequently, we were charged 90 AUD on our credit card. I'd like to remind fellow travelers of these two charges.

OK

The charged too much money from my card. According to their statement, it should be only additional 20 AUD for fuel (although tank was almost full), but they charged 40 AUD.

It was a terrible experience for our pick up at Perth. Despite that we provided our flight details and the fact that we would pick up the car past 1am, the Thrifty counter was closed and nobody was on duty in our terminal. We ended up spending over an hour trying to locate the last person on duty in a different terminal when a number of young kids in our group had to wait around in the cold. When we finally got the car, they were not able to provide the 3 car seats we requested, so we had to return to the pick up point the next morning to get the car seats
