AUCAR CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN AUSTRALIA

Highly disappointed with Aucar. Car stank of cigarette smoke, despite the no smoking sign, the car was in very very poor condition with bumps and scratches, and the extra fee ($15) for going through tolls was just unnecessary and too large. Will not book through again.

The staff were all fantastic!

It's okay

You are charging more than the actual toll fee. Actual toll fee should be 13 but you charged me 38 including 15 of admin expense. Admin charge is fine but you should not charge extra for the toll fee like you are selling a coke.

Not punctual. They said they would pick us up in ten minutes, but we waited for 45 minutes. The staff had no apology. The car was not refueled when we got it, and they refused to refund the extra fuel we added when returning it, claiming we didn't keep the receipt. Shouldn't they take photos if they refueled before renting it out? Different staff gave conflicting information about the car return. Strange, where did the good reviews come from?

I had to call twice to get the correct information as to who was collecting me from the pick up zone. The driver of the van was very polite and helpful. Chinese man. After being served at the counter staff member answered the phone an rather than placing on hold or a call back continued with her call which took a while. Another person was served after me by another staff member and was gone before me. When I enquired about the GPS I ordered I was told Id need to pay more money, despite the money already showing in my credit card and having to place a $100 bond. She finally put the GPS in place (which by the way did not work properly and was in my line of sight on the screen). The fuel tank was at half so the staff member told me I could bring it back at 3 bars from he bottom. She took photos said she would email them to me. (which never arrived). Finally I left feeling exhausted by the whole process. The outside of the car was dirty inside clean. On return the male staff member told me I hadnt filled the tank to full. I informed him that it was only at half and I refilled to there. He was ok with that as he found the original photos.

Excellent all round service and speedy service

All good all great

Garbage car rental office, they make you wait 1 hour just to collect your car

Only problem we found, guy came to pick us up from Airport can’t speak English properly, really hard to understand...

Their response is bad. I tried to call them to ask for the photos ofthe damaged part at the back of the van because I forgot to take photos. They said that I have to send email. I didn’t get any responses until now.

Vehicle only quarter full at pick up. Vehicle blowing massive amount of smoke on acceleration and following vehicle stopped us to inform us. Informed desk on return and either didn't understand or disinterested.

Quick and efficient

Picked up from the airport, signed the contract at the store.

Good service but could be improved if a little explanation was given especially to first time visitors to Melbourne,like me. A little explanation on driving rules,tolls and parking in Melbourne would have helped a great deal. There was total lack of communication and personal touch to the service provided.

Booking system was good and efficient.

The car was a good size for us and met our expectations. We thought the fees we were charged for using a toll road were excessive.

The staff were friendly and courteous. The car was damaged and had noted damage stickers ALL over the vehicle which was embarrassing when the vehicle was parked to think people might have thought we were bad drivers. The vehicle itself was dirty with crushed biscuits and cheese in the back.

The originally booked SUV was not available and was downgraded. When we got the keys and entered the car, the safety lock was broken, which was unsafe especially for children. We switched to a second car, only to find the air conditioning blew out hot air. After much hassle, we switched to a third downgraded car, wasting nearly 2 hours (from the original 1 PM to nearly 3 PM). In a hurry, we took the third downgraded car, but soon discovered it had no GPS and not even a USB port. During our 4-day Melbourne trip, we had to navigate with 3 phones taking turns. We couldn’t listen to music or take photos to save battery for navigation. Charging phones became our top priority every night at the hotel, or we couldn’t use the phones for navigation the next day. In desperation, we bought a car USB port, which didn’t work in the car but worked fine in a friend’s car, proving the car port was broken. Terrible service!!!

The service was excellent, they even provided airport transfers. Highly recommended!

We booked a small car for fuel economy, but were given a much larger Nissan with around 65,000 kms on the clock. The car had damage on almost every outside panel, and on both the front and back interior panels. The brakes groaned and squeaked every time we braked. The airbag light was flashing the whole time. Aucar clearly caters to the Asian market, as all documentation is in Chinese, and the reversing sensor talks in Chinese. Staff were reasonably friendly, but this is honestly the worst hire car we have ever had.

Perfect!

One of the front tyres always looses air pressure below what is required. Have to pump air on the front tyres for any trip everyday

Great price. Good car. Very happy

Easy
