Great car and overall good booking experience

Satisfied

The car provided was very new, a 2024 model. However, I don't recommend this company because if you don't choose the zero excess full insurance, they require an extremely high deposit (I didn't encounter this issue at other companies, nor was I informed about it beforehand when booking). Additionally, the deposit refund process is extremely slow. Other companies usually refund within a few days to a week, but it's been over two weeks since I returned the car and I still haven't received the refund.

We had our choice of models, but we went with the Mitsubishi - wrong choice - horrendous auto. But, we got to choose, so just bad selection. The car was nice and modern and did the job. The people at Apex were brilliant

Brilliant - much cheaper than anywhere else and through a reputable car hire company.

Average attitude

Pick-up was quite fast, and the staff were nice. However, I was extremely angry about what happened after renting the car: on the third day after picking up the car, while driving from Sydney to Narooma, the vehicle was involved in a collision. That night, I couldn't reach the rental company via Zuzuche. I only got a response at 11 AM the next day! After the car was towed, the rental company didn't consider my actual situation and kept asking me to repeat the reasons and extent of the car damage over the phone!! I kept emphasizing that I had nearly ten more days of travel and hotel stays, but APEX kept being vague about providing me with another car!! The most frustrating part was when a woman claiming to be the manager asked about the damage and promised to provide another car, saying she would get back to me. By 2:30 PM with no response, I called again, only to be told sternly by another person claiming to be the manager that they wouldn't provide another car due to my driving issues!!! I felt absolutely hopeless in a foreign land, being over 100 kilometers away from other rental points!!!! I'm thoroughly disappointed with Apex Car Rentals!!!! This experience exposed their cold, heartless, and completely irresponsible attitude towards customers, which made me sick!!
