Rented a car in Melbourne's downtown, the location was relatively easy to find. The rental service staff were two older men who looked like musicians from some band, very friendly. They even discussed Chinese characters with me (mentioned during signing). They also helped me set up the phone connection to the car's central control and gave me some traffic tips.

Very good, the pick-up and drop-off process was very smooth. The car was in great condition, with only 2500 km on it. Driving the Great Ocean Road is a must in a lifetime. Overall, a very satisfying rental experience.
