Kept on extending

The car was decent, with a mileage of 40,000 kilometers. However, the windshield had two cracks caused by stones that were not repaired, slightly affecting visibility while driving. The steering felt a bit loose, which wasn't ideal given the narrow roads and gravel paths typical in Tasmania. The staff at the rental office were quite diligent and patient. I purchased full insurance from the rental company, and there were no pre-authorizations or deposits. They charged 300 AUD for insurance, and I was able to drive away immediately.

The procedure was processed quickly, highly recommended! The condition of the cars is excellent, mostly new vehicles.

Besides the driver side, there were no floor mats on all other seats

The GPS rental was a bit high in view of Google maps and Waze availability as second options.

Like: Car was clean and rather new when received. Came with good and accurate GPS. Fuel consumption was reasonable. Car was comfortable with smooth engine. Good boot space to fit 3 large suitcases with additional space available still. Good reverse camera even at night. Car runs on petrol which is cheaper than diesel in Australia. Collection and return was very fast and the staff at Budget’s office was friendly.
Dislike: At collection at Budget’s office, I was asked to get coverage for road assistance even though insurance coverage was already purchased separately via EasyRentCars. Pls read through your purchase insurance before collection so you will not be confused and pay additional coverage which you already have. EasyRentCars insurance cover whilst cheaper, required upfront payment followed by reimbursement subsequently. For insurance cover by Budget, there is no payment required at the point of assistance. FYI.
