    This is my first experience posting negative feedback for any business - so it was bad! The woman at the service counter needs some support in her job. People were lined up for service & she appeared stressed & miserable. Her communication was rude & abrupt. At one point she kicked us all out of the office so she could take a short break. She insulted me in front of a line of people waiting, announcing that I couldn't afford to pay when the issue was that I held cash & not a credit card. I was alone in a strange city with 2 children in tow. She upset me a lot. There was nothing easy about dealing with this company.

    The car had mechanical issues which cannot be identified by the visual inspection upon first receiving the keys - the left front wheel had a major vibration and rattling noise when driving between 30-40 km/h. The car was not clean - windows all round were greasy and dirty, boot lining was muddy. The counter staff had very average service - all necessary paperwork is done but it felt like they all rather not be working on both days of picking up and dropping off the keys.

    The vehicle had a significant dent and many scratches. It was dirty on the outside although very clean on the inside. Unfortunately the pick up process was nearly an hour long. Although the staff member serving was incredibly polite and apologetic he was very slow and was alone attempting to serve numerous customers picking up vehicles. The price would have been outstanding had the vehicle been immaculate. I guess you get what you pay for. Overall a fair vehicle for the money and a friendly staff member on pick up.

    The new receptionist was really inexperienced. It took her half an hour to process a case, constantly seeking help from other colleagues. She only handed over the keys without accompanying us to inspect the car. When I saw the car, I was heartbroken. Later, I'll share my Damage Check with everyone. Some people had reservations but no cars available. The receptionist said it wasn't their problem and if you want to complain or get angry, go ahead. There's nothing they can do.

    I returned the car with a full tank, but they claimed it wasn't full because the fuel gauge was slightly off and wanted to charge me a fee. When I drove off again, the gauge returned to full. I chose to drive to refuel and got into a minor accident with a third-party vehicle. Even though I provided the other driver's license and information, they made me pay 200 AUD on the spot, claiming it was the maximum compensation. Then, five months later, without any reason or notification, my credit card was charged nearly 4000 AUD!!! The rental car company's customer service has not provided a detailed explanation or evidence for almost two months. To this day, they have not refunded the unjustified charge.

    1. The car was not fueled when we picked it up. The gas station was somewhat far away, but we negotiated and got a different car. 2. We stayed near Southern Cross Station in Melbourne. Carrying luggage to the pickup point was quite challenging. It would be much more convenient if there was a pickup location inside the station.

    This company is a scam. When I returned the car, I refueled it to the same level as when I received it. However, after I returned the car, they unjustifiably charged my credit card over twenty Australian dollars. When I went back to their office to dispute it, they checked the car again and found out it was their mistake, but they didn't refund my money. The inspector, an unreasonable woman, falsely claimed she smelled smoke in the car and wanted to charge me over a hundred Australian dollars. They gave me two options: either pay the extra hundred and get the twenty dollar refund, or lose the twenty but not pay the hundred. It was clear they were trying to extort me. Why didn't they inspect the car carefully when I returned it? When I found out about the extra charge and went back to get my refund, they used this excuse to con me out of more money. Garbage company!
