MELBOURNE CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

I needed some advice on how the car functioned. On/off process , handbrake , fuel access. This would have helped.

Quite large administrative charge for toll road tag usage.

Highly disappointed with Aucar. Car stank of cigarette smoke, despite the no smoking sign, the car was in very very poor condition with bumps and scratches, and the extra fee ($15) for going through tolls was just unnecessary and too large. Will not book through again.

By the time we finally got our car. Europcar staff were fantastic

Upgraded to Hyundai Tucson at extra cost

Vehicle had bald tires. Engine warning light was on for the entire hire period. Car ran rough and coughed and spluttered when accelerating making it quite dangerous in some situations. Counter service at Bargain rentals was good.

Bad condition externally with scratches and bumps; dirty interior and smelled of stale cigarettes.

Every aspect of our Carhood experience was excellent, from pick up at the airport, through vehicle collection, driving the vehicle over a 17 day period, and then vehicle return. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. I'd have no hesitation in using Carhood again and would thoroughly recommend them.

Car was dirty. Car was different to what we booked and we were given a much bigger car so tried to change it but the girl had left the office. No one was there to answer the phone, even the call centre called them and they didn't answer. She was gone for over 30mins while we waited. We had to take the car and it was dirty everywhere even with crumbs in the front. The lady on the call centre wasn't helpful either. We never got compensation or a call from the pick up office despite leaving the complaint with the call centre.

I was charged twice for the one booking and even with credit card proof, I have to fight to get my money back.

Friendly, easy service

The first impression was terrible and uninviting by counter staff, (as we walked in he was arguing with another customer as they didn't have their baby chair as promised) but we hoped for better situation as we had no special requirements. Once it came down to pay deposit, the gentleman didn't want to accept my card since it was not embossed and argued it cannot go through payment even without trying. After 510 minutes of persuading to try he called someone on the phone and it was suddenly possible to process. Car was in good technical condition, however we found the items from previous owner and inside and was not cleaned inside at all.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Car was clean, comfortable, and reliable.

It was so good I purchased the same model myself the following week.

The staff was courteous and friendly. She gave sound on-the-road advice.

Ezu were excellent!

The attendant was really friendly and keen to help.

The car was collected at Southern Cross railway station, where the cars are parked some distance from the small office. We were shocked to find at collection that our car's exterior had not been cleaned, and that it was covered in bird droppings. For comfort and safety, we were obliged to clean the windscreen and other windows. We then found that there had been only a cursory cleaning of the interior, with some evidence remaining of previous occupants..

I rented a Hyundai i20 which is relatively a small car. At the counter, I found out this car is not available and they gave me a Mitsubishi Pajero sport which was huge. To them, this was an upgrade for free but to me having a small suitcase and being on 3 day business trip, it was extremely difficult to drive in Melbourne in the rush hour and park the car. I wish I knew that they might not have a small car and then I would rent another car.

I specifically chose a in-terminal location, we had to go from terminal 2 to terminal 1 and when we got there there wasn't anyone at the counter. We had to take all of our luggage and haul it to the Royal hotel where there was another counter and finally could get my car. Service at the counter was good and we ended up upgrading to a larger SUV. The returning area was poorly signaled and I actually had to go on foot to the return area to fetch someone to get my final return procedure
