At the Hertz counter in Sydney airport, the staff member tried to take advantage of my poor English by adding full insurance without my consent. Do they think I’m bad with numbers too? I kept refusing, and with the help of a nearby Singaporean Chinese woman who translated for me, I finally understood that even if the incident was someone else's fault, I would still owe $5000 AUD without full insurance. Seriously? Who makes such rules? Do they have such authority? Eventually, they changed it to basic insurance upon my insistence!

The person handing over the car was Indian. If you don't buy the insurance they recommend (100 AUD), they find excuses and give you a car with potential issues. The staff who collected the car were very unprofessional, and seemed like dubious Indians, finding faults with the car.

It's okay

Everything was fine except for the language barrier. Simple enough, but the promised provisional hold turned into an actual charge, and I have no idea when it will be refunded!
