The charges were very transparent. I voluntarily purchased the car rental company's insurance, along with tire and glass coverage. The staff were very polite and explained all the fees clearly. I had booked the 2021 Kia Carnival, but they gave me a 2024 new model Kia Carnival instead. The car was very new, though the right rear door panel made a bit of a creaking noise when driving. It wasn't a big deal since you can't hear it when playing music. I only paid a little over $100 as a deposit via pre-authorization, which was refunded on the third day after returning the car. During my time in Melbourne, I accidentally drove a short stretch on a toll road. The rental contract mentioned that toll charges would be deducted from the deposit along with a small handling fee, but when I received the final bill, no charges had been deducted. I’m not sure how that was processed in the end.

The staff were patient and provided clear guidance.

The Toyota Kluger is considered a large SUV, but upon arriving at the store, I was informed that there were no large SUVs available and was given a Subaru Forester, which is a mid-size SUV instead.

The actual supplier was Europcar. We arrived at 6:30 AM, and there was no one at the airport counter. We had to go to the office outside. (I guess it was because it was Sunday morning, and only Hertz had someone at the counter. Because of this, I will definitely rent from Hertz next time.) We paid half of the fee online and the other half at the store. The staff was not very familiar with the fees and overcharged us. Luckily, I had saved the receipt and got it corrected by showing it to them. When we returned the car at 2:30 PM, a few hours before our flight, no one was at the airport counter again. We had to leave the keys in their designated box. A few days later, they sent us a message asking for an extra AUD 400 for late return. Fortunately, I had taken photos and I'm now waiting for their response. If they continue to be unreasonable, I will fight for my rights. I advise everyone to take photos before returning the car, including the fuel gauge and the car's exterior, to avoid unnecessary issues.

Very good
