Pros: Car was very comfortable & fuel efficient. Staff was very professional. Quick & easy return. Cons: Rates were a little high. We did not like that we were threatened with a $170AUD fee if the car was not cleaned upon its return. We had never heard that before with any other rental we've had.
Check in and check out staff were friendly and helpful.

Wonderful guys thanks for the great price and great experience, loved that I could drop the car off at the airport too at no extra cost. Please getting such great car hire deals in Australia as I travel there very often. Thank you! Sincerely Daniel Fabiano
The dropoff was not really clear. Would have been great to have clear instructions on where to drop the car, where the hertz office was and what to do if there was nobody in the counter.
Super easy collection and drop off. We expected more hidden costs, but there was just the price of insurance to pay which was reasonable.

Poor|May 2022
The confirmation email had NO details as to which car company I was to use or any contact means apart from downloading some unknown app which I would not feel included to trust. When I got to the airport and saw no details and no means to contact I set up a disputed charge with my cc company. Not sure how you are doing business with this 3rd party that set up the booking.

Poor|Feb 2022
Shocking customer service. I was advised I could drop off at a different location. Went to drop of off and was advised I would be charged nearly a daily rate to drop off there. It was then to late to drop it to the original location and was therefor changed an extra day. The extra daily rate what’s then more than 30% of the original rate. It took over 1 hour to drop the car off. A complete waste of time and money. The staff at the sydney city need some serious training. Avoid at all cost.
