AUCAR CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN AUSTRALIA

The store is far from the airport, shuttle service is not timely, the provided vehicle did not match the booked car category, the car was in poor condition with many visible damages, which led to disputes during return and even attempts to blame me for pre-existing damages

Response time is extremely slow. Problems are not resolved in a timely manner. Each query takes several hours for a reply. The staff at pickup and drop-off were mediocre in attitude. They did not explain the car's features. I rented the car for over ten days without music; only on the last day did I hear back about returning the car a day early without a refund. If I were to rate them, it would barely pass with a 60.

The car rental company charged 50 AUD for cleaning a child seat, which is highly unreasonable! When returning the car, I checked the vehicle thoroughly inside and out with the staff, and they said everything was fine and asked me to sign. Before leaving, I confirmed again with the staff that the car had been inspected and there would be no charges to my credit card, except for the highway tolls as those could not be billed immediately. However, after I returned to China, the car rental company sent a photo of the child seat, claiming it was dirty and demanding 50 AUD for cleaning. This is completely unreasonable! Why wasn't it mentioned on the spot when both parties were present? We knew beforehand that there would be charges if the seat was dirty, so we were very careful while using it and checked thoroughly before returning the car. There was no dirt at all, and the staff had also confirmed this. Now, after returning to China, they send a photo claiming it was dirty and demanding payment. This is very frustrating! Firstly, I checked and confirmed the seat was not dirty when returning the car; secondly, the staff also said everything was fine; thirdly, a photo alone is not convincing; and lastly, any issues should be addressed on the spot when both parties are present—claims made afterwards are not acceptable.

The staff were very nice and even took me for a short drive to get familiar with the car.

Poor service and bad experience affected my trip mood. The rental company is run by a Chinese, small in scale and ground. During the return, we had to move our stuff three times from the car. The road to Twelve Apostles Hotel was not very good, some mud splashed on the back of the car. The rental company insisted we wash it. They said we could use their water to wash it ourselves, but they claimed several cars were waiting for a wash, and directed us to a nearby self-service car wash which cost 11 AUD after waiting. Strongly not recommended. If possible, definitely use a larger chain rental company.

Compared to my last rental experience with AVIS, the efficiency and service were vastly inferior. Returning the car early required cash payment, which was very frustrating.

Accurate information, convenient pickup and return. Will use again next time.

Really nice, affordable and great!

I forgot my driver's license, which was extremely embarrassing. Fortunately, aucar was understanding and rented us the car; otherwise, we would have been stranded.

It was very windy on the day we picked up the car. We made our first call, and they told us to wait at a designated spot. On the second call, we informed them that we were already at the spot, and they said they were on the way and would be there soon. After waiting for more than twenty minutes and freezing, we called a third time and they arrived ten minutes later. When they arrived, they didn't help us with our luggage and just watched us struggle. At the store, we had booked a Toyota Corolla since that's what we use at home. But they gave us a small QQ car instead, which was very cramped for three people and two pieces of luggage. One piece of luggage had to be put in the back seat. They claimed it was the same model, but these cars are not the same at all—it was a complete rip-off.

The rental company can be found using GPS, it's a large parking warehouse with a fairly good environment.

Great experience.

Aucar's airport location is very small, and the insurance deductible is very high. The staff are not familiar with their own vehicles. After we took the car, they asked us to return for a re-check. I would not choose this company again.
