    The car rental point at the airport is located right at the arrival exit, which is very convenient. Since I arrived at night, it wasn't peak time for picking up cars, so I only encountered one person ahead of me in line. The wait time was very short, indicating a fast processing speed. UnionPay cards are definitely accepted, and since I paid the full amount in advance, I didn't face any extra upselling from the staff. They didn't push sales aggressively, which is better than in Europe or America. I only had to provide a credit card for the pre-authorization deposit. Unlike in the US, my credit card wasn't charged sporadically. After picking up the car, I could take my luggage cart directly to the pickup point, which is about a 3-minute walk. The car was in good condition, and although the model wasn't upgraded, there were plenty of models available, possibly because it was the off-season.

    The service was poor. When I went to pick up the car at Sydney Airport, a lady attended to me. Not only did she try to upsell insurance, but the procedure took so long that we couldn't get the car immediately. She said she needed to confirm something with the headquarters and asked us to wait. After a long wait, she was nowhere to be found. Her colleague told us she had already finished her shift! Thankfully, a male colleague helped us to finally get the car. It was not a pleasant experience. Other rental companies had already processed numerous cars by that time. Plus, the cost was higher than what was listed on the website, which was odd.

    I used Hertz in Melbourne and Europcar in Sydney, and the difference was huge. Hertz gave me a free upgrade, while Europcar downgraded my car. The vehicle was in poor condition, and they pushed insurance on me. I had booked an Outlander but got a mini version instead. I'll stick with big companies in the future (the heavy Indian accent was also hard to understand).

    The female staff member was slow and kept wandering off to talk to others. She seemed discriminatory towards Chinese people, asking if I was Chinese, and once confirmed, the paperwork became excessive and time-consuming. Every single document was copied multiple times, which was not required at other counters or with other tourists. Previously, we rented from other companies and the process took only 5 minutes. She took over 45 minutes even though I emphasized I was only renting for half a day and was in a hurry. Despite being clear that I didn't need anything extra, she insisted on adding an extra driver fee (which I didn't have to pay on previous days in Australia) and sneakily added full insurance despite my refusal. Due to the time pressure, I didn't notice it until later. If I could rate her negatively, I certainly would. Never renting from this company again.

    Extremely satisfied, overall rating 9.5. Firstly, the car was automatically upgraded to a KIA, the car was very new with less than 8000 KM on it. The trunk was very spacious and could fit three 24-inch large suitcases. The car came with adaptive lane keeping assist, which was fantastic. It was my first time driving a right-hand drive vehicle, and I was initially very worried that I wouldn't manage. However, with the assistive driving feature, I got used to it in about 20 minutes. On the first day, fearing I might struggle with the right-hand drive, I chose to drive to the suburbs for half a day and covered 260 kilometers. The acclimatization process was very smooth throughout.
