They forced me to pay 1000 dollars as a bond. And I ve told them it is a change in terms and conditions and they told me pay insurance 150 more or 1000 dollars bond or we can't give you car after I came there.

The staff weren't very friendly, unlike those we met on the Gold Coast (also with East Coast Rentals). They persistently tried to upsell insurance despite us telling them multiple times that we had already purchased supplementary coverage.

Very convenient. If your English isn't good, just wait at the dedicated shuttle stop for a bit, hop on the rental company's shuttle when you see it and show the driver your booking. That's usually enough to handle things. Once at the counter, just give your booking, necessary documents, ID, and credit card to the staff.

Overall, it's quite good. We picked up the car at Melbourne International Airport; the store is about 10 minutes away from the airport with a shuttle service. The service was decent, although the receptionist's attitude wasn't great when she saw we were from China. The car was relatively new. The drop-off location is in the city center and easy to find with GPS. Overall, it was pretty good and reasonably priced, recommended.

Experience and price was good except for the pick up part that took longer than anticipated
