1. Service Experience: The process of picking up and returning the car was relatively smooth, and the service staff were very nice. 2. Pick-up and Return Location: The return location in Adelaide is relatively far from the airport. After returning the car, you still need to take a taxi to the airport. I suggest those returning cars in Adelaide do it in the city and then proceed to the airport by bus. 3. Car Condition: The car model was relatively old. I got a Mitsubishi SUV that had been driven for 140,000 km. During the trip, the gear indicator flashed, and the car lost power, eventually becoming unresponsive to the gas pedal. Turning the car off and on again didn't help. I checked the oil level, coolant, and dashboard indicators, all of which were normal, and the engine didn't overheat. After waiting by the roadside for more than 20 minutes, the car started again, but the gear indicator continued to flash. The maximum RPM was 3000, and it couldn't sustain acceleration. After driving for a while, it returned to normal... The cause remains unknown.
Following the pick-up instructions, we took a cab to the Exhibition Center. The taxi driver drove in circles before dropping us off as per the address. We had to manage our luggage and kids while searching for the office which was unlike prominent companies like Heze, Eu, or Avis. After a long search, we found that Apex shares an office with Budget, it's small, and the staff were very patient, recommending insurance and giving breakdown instructions. We found it strange at the time, later we understood. It took forever to walk to the parking lot to get the car. Tip: In unfamiliar cities, rent from the airport; it's easier to pick up and drop off!
“Reasonable price, disappointing service, and defective car”
About Apex:5.3/10
Very disappointed to be issued a car which, once you got into daylight (as opposed to being in the Southern Cross car park) had a damaged windscreen. This was reported ASAP (within an hour), but only suggestion was can you swap it over when you get to Sydney, some 750 kms.
“Perfect experience except 4 unexpected $3K deposit for Vic customers.”
