        We picked up the car at around 5am in the morning on July 5th, and gave them our credit card for deposit purpose. However, we realised we were charged $196+ immediately for no reason as the total amount in the invoice is only $29+ for baby car seat. We wrote to them via email as after service calling is not available, until now we haven’t received any response! Don’t think I will use Avis any more!

        Like: Ease of rental. Price was awesome.
        Dislike: Distance to Rental car park in teeming rain (or midday sun and high humidity) hauling a suitcase in Darwin. Was a drowned rat at both pick up and drop off. Flooding to covered walkway ensured footwear was drenched too. I think a courtesy call or email during my six week rental would have been a great customer service.

        The pickup location is not at the airport, you need to call the store. The first time I called, no one answered, but they picked up quickly the second time. Since I opted for insurance, there was no additional fuss. I booked a Mazda CX-5, but got a Mitsubishi Outlander with just over 5000 kilometers, which was pretty good.

        Dissatisfied with the rental company. The mileage limit was 700 kilometers with an additional charge of 0.25 per kilometer exceeded. However, during settlement, there were many inexplicable fees, such as an airport fee, which was unreasonable. The rental contract stated that the charge for extra kilometers was 0.25 per kilometer. Even though we appealed, we still had to pay nearly 0.50 per kilometer.

        Our flight arrived late at 2am in the morning just as the Hertz counter was closing. We were given our keys and took out top insurance offered by your staff member. After a long walk to the vehicle we realized how damaged the car was but it was too late to go back as the counter was closed. We paid top insurance for car that was likely uninsurable due to its condition, balled tyres, dents and panel damage all over the car- the car was completely unsafe particularly for the weather but also the long road trips we had planned. We phoned to complian an the lady sounded completely uninterested. We were told the manager would phone us to discuss but received no contact. We are completely unhappy with the service and condition of the car and the amount we paid to insure a vehicle that was already in such poor condition.
