The rental office is not inside the airport, but the shuttle service was prompt, arriving within 10 minutes after a call. However, since we were new to Melbourne, it took us some time to find the pickup point. The car was very new, with just over 6000 kilometers on it, and it was very easy to drive. On our way back to the airport, other renters informed us that we needed to register on the local traffic website to pay toll fees, but the rental company did not provide this information when we picked up or returned the car. We had to resolve it ourselves and risked fines if it wasn’t addressed in time. The rental company didn’t assist with this, which was very inconvenient for foreigners. We called them again for confirmation and support but received no callback. After returning to our home country, we managed to resolve it through the rental company.

Good

The service was excellent. They explained the additional insurance options, and when we said we didn't want it, they understood and didn't push us.

It's okay, just a bit far from the airport. You need to take their shuttle bus back and forth.

Why not clearly state that there is a shuttle service from Melbourne airport to 2 Tarmac Drive, at 30 minutes interval, and shuttle service operating hours, at this x location indicated clearly in a picture of the Melbourne airport map? i ended up having to spend A$35 to get a taxi from the airport to pick up location; and learned only when i returned the vehicle 7 days later, of the pickup service every 30 minutes. It's like the chef put in all his efforts to create the legendary masterpiece dish, and right before delivering to the customers, the waiter let the dish gets cold sitting for 30 minutes as he neglects it and do other stuff. You clearly intended for maximum customer satisfaction, hence the resources and brainpower put into ensuring there is the shuttle service. Why not advertise that CLEARLY and BOLDLY to make sure potential customers know it?
