Expected better for the price
Pros: The car itself was fun and decent but we were expecting something a little classier for $140/day. Benz or BMW was promised until the booking was finalized on kayak. Suddenly it was a Holden RS6 of better - only matters because it was our last day in Aus after a great trip and it was meant to be surprise to my gf for our final day driving to the blue mountains
Cons: Car was gross inside like it had near never been cleaned (could be becuause it was old and had about 60,000 kms ok it. tried to call the store on 2 occasions.. one because I wantedt to swap the car because the value wasnt there and inform them of how gross so I didn't get charged. And again.. because our flight was delayed almost 8 hours and we wanted to get a new rental. Or at least a better deal to keep it... nope, another 140 for less than 8 hours

There is always a problem picking up from Red Spot counter in Sydney A
Cons: Wait at counter, confirmed car seemed different than booked car. When I asked to change I kept on getting contradictory information from counter agent, and quoted prices continued to change by the second, and it seemed to me I was being up-charged. Uncomfortable, difficult, unprofessional presentation. This is the second time, maybe third, this has occured at the Red Spot counter in Sydney.

Nothing I expected
Pros: I never write reviews, but regularly rent cars. I was expecting at least a few criteria to be rock bottom like their prices, but I was happily surprised to have experienced an inclusive work environment where employees care and build immediate repour through candid, friendly and genuine communication - outstanding.
Cons: I apologise for pre-judging and presuming, but I’m only human right .. I’ve redeemed myself by writing this review.

Not great
Pros: E-tag for road tolls was handy, although I'm still awaiting the bill and have no idea how much to expect.
Cons: Advised that it was airport pick up on booking, but was in fact via shuttle. It was a shame I didn't know this before paying AU$12 to transfer from the Domestic to International terminals, as they could have picked me up from the Domestic arrivals. Car was poor quality, large scratches and dents all over, realised 1 hour outside of Sydney that there was a large chip in the windscreen, but didn't want to turn back as had a long drive to Blue Mountains and it was late. Tried to call them, but no answer. Dirty inside and out.

Beware - misleading - this company is NOT at Sydne
Cons: When booking the rental, it was falsely listed as being airport pick-up. In fact, the company is based a drive away from the airport. Misleading therefore to be listed an 'on aiport' pick-up and drop-off. Also, when waiting for their minibus to pick me up, I had to wait more than 20 mins for them to pick me up, despite the driver saying he would be there in 10 mins. Some other people waiting (with a small baby) told me they had been waiting for nearly an hour.

Not getting what I booked for
Cons: After my extra effort to email and chat with your customer service and was assured that I would get the car I booked, I still received something not suitable and different to what I booked. My subsequent complaint fell on deaf ears as well.

At drop off they tried to charge me for previous damage
Cons: At the Sydney drop off they tried to charge me for previous damage. They wouldn't resolve it, so I cancelled the second rental in Cairns with them. I took video when I picked up and dropped off the car , and I told them I had the video. So far they haven't tried billing me for the damage. I recommend you us a more reputable company.

Pros: Convenient pickup location near arrivals Friendly and helpful staff Dropoff was quick and easy once we had descended into the depths of the underground car park (Pullman Hotel in central Sydney) Car was clean and mobile - although small even after our upgrade
Cons: Very slow pickup - took over half an hour to complete paperwork although there was no queue. For us, it was a big comparison with Launceston (Tasmania) Europcar where we had rented the week before and where pickup was almost instantaneous (to be fair, Launceston is a much smaller airport). Price increased more than expected over original booking - 30% (of total car price) extra charge was applied for picking up at Sydney airport.

Pros: The Mitsubishi AX was good for accommodating 5 passengers in comfort. Though it struggles with fair luggage for 5.
Cons: No satnav/gps. And it was a little underpowered.

Pros: Last minute reservation with budget. Pick up and check in was quick and easy. Great service and car was economic for duration of the trip.

Hijacked
Pros: At reservation pricing was attractive
Cons: Re-booking confirmation was not found by Buget/Avis in SYD. Avis rep then hijacked rental and I ended up paying TWICE the quoted rate online from Kayak. Avis//Budget rep also claimed there was no drop off station in the Flinders area (specifically Frankston, but there is). Complete RIPOFF from SYD Int'l Budget/Avis.

Broken key fob
Pros: Finally after much debate the supervisor who didn’t have a name tag on was finally helpful and understand and starting to show customer service.
Cons: We were given a faulty key. When we went to our first stop and turned off the car the fob blew apart in my hand. We were able to put it back together again to where it would function and we could continue our trip but it was a nuisance the whole trip. When we dropped off the car the receiving faculty tried to hold our credit card for $500 until claims dealt with us. We ended up speaking with the superviosor and after quite a bit of debate she finally took the hold off and allowed us to leave.

renting on Australia's east coast
Pros: The pickup/dropoff went well, especially the help when we returned the car. Car was very comfortable, clean, drove well, and we had no problems.
Cons: When we picked up the car, I asked for a map - especially of how to get to the motorway in Sydney. Was told they didn't have any maps. We used our cell gps, but when you go through tunnels service gets dropped (duh) making it a bit stressful about what turn might be next. I was surprised (frustrated) that even a city map was not available in paper form (come on, Hertz!). Next problem was discovered when we got home and I was paying my credit card bills. When my reservation was made, Hertz charged my credit card one day rental costs. But the system never reflected this when renting or returning the car, so I was charged the full amount when dropped off. This is NOT the fault of the return agent, but the Hertz system. I have since sent an email to Hertz and 2 days later still no reply. If this gets resolved, then my rating might go up - but if it takes more work on my part to get resolved, then rating may actually go down. Also, I thought the charge to drop off at a different city was a bit steep - especially since it seemed like more than twice the actual rental cost.

Pros: Very helpful staff at pickup carpark (less so at the desk) when dealing with the issued discussed opposite.
Cons: It turns out that the new X-trail model is smaller inside than the previous models. The car was advertised as large enough for 5 adults. It really isn't (just about large enough for 2 adults and 3 children) and bizzarely, the car provided ad an extra 2 folding seats in the back which further reduced the luggage space. Also on arrival I was shown to a Renault which was even smaller but the Hertz staff at the pick-up point accepted that this was not equivalent to the X-trail and changed it.

5.6
Average at best
Pros: I like the fact I was able to rent an SUV with back-up camera. The vehicle was fairly spacious. The vehicle was clean and had a full tank of fuel. Renting the vehicle was pretty much hassle free at the counter.
Cons: What I didn't like was there are no restrooms at this Hertz location office. They do have a single unisex stall in one of the Hertz garages. It looks like it's for the garage employees. There is no soap and obviously hasn't been cleaned in a while. I rented a vehicle from this location twice. Each time I was instructed where to go to find my vehicle. In each case, I didn't see any attendants. In each case, I just hit the key fad to find the vehicle. I then inspected the vehicle and drove off. Finding and returning the vehicle to its William St location can cause a major headache. It helps to use GPS. Traffic is a major problem, there are no right hand turns allowed when coming in from the north and you have to return the vehicle to another garage from where you picked it up at. No one inform me of this before picking up the vehicle. The employees got really upset with me when I tried to return the vehicle where I initially picked it up. Also dragging your luggage 300 yards over uneven pavement can be a real hassle.

Be aware - there are two pickup locations at SYD
Pros: Rented a mid size SUV. Nissan X-Trail advertised but Hyundai Tuscon delivered. This is as expected with any rental car company. The point is the car was actually better than that promised. Use the promo code 109491 for a substantial discount (expires Sept 2016 I think) Was charged only slightly more than the estimate. It pays to dig down on each company to get the quotes which include the fees, They make up a substantial portion of the cost (37%)
Cons: My car was at the international terminal. I assumed they only had a counter at Domestic so I made a needless ($12) round trip between terminals. The agent stated 'you know you have a $4,000 excess'. I took out insurance (provided by Allianz). Their policy says nothing about an excess (deductable)! This is all handled as a separate transaction. Thankfully, I didn't have any issues. Not sure how tolls are handled. I was only told "not to worry about it" There was no charge on my final receipt except a $130 rego fee. Best scenario is the tolls are included in the rego fee. Most likely scenario is I will get an additional charge on my card for actual amount. Worst case is the RTA will issue fines based on Hertz providing driver information. Nothing was given in writing.

Pros: I like the car provided during this service.
Cons: Personnel attending is not friendly at all. Misleading information was given, 2 of them said i will have $100 back upon return, only to find out during return that there is No deposit to return as it wasn't place in the written contract.

Pros: Convenient and cheap.
Cons: There's no information on how to actually get the car. Once I figured out that I had to go to the hertz counter everything was a breeze, but it took a while to figure that out.

insurance messaging is interesting
Pros: the car was good
Cons: I buy insurance ahead and the counter people tell me that it doesn't work so I have to buy the insurance again. The fees are as much as the car itself.

Wrong car
Pros: Prompt service
Cons: We paid for an SUV, and when we got to pick-up there were none left. We were given a golden Astra saloon car, which is not what I wanted and not what I paid for. The service assistant told me that as we had already paid, there was nothing he can do - which is unreasonable. He then said we could bring the car back half full, as compensation - when we dropped the car off there was no record of this and we were told we would be charged for the lack of fuel. I am unsatisfied with the whole experience of your company.

ordered a standard got a small hatchback
Pros: Fuel economy Cleanliness
Cons: Did not get the vehicle I ordered and had to put up with my husband complaining the whole trip about the car. What I paid was more than the hatch that I received but no refund. Quite a bit of damage on the vehicle.

There was no car rental.
Cons: When we arrived the company said they did not rent cars and was very confused why we were there. Our confirmation number is H51542382C9. Please contact me by phone or email tulmer19@gmail.com 0402455915 Timothy Ulmer

YOU GUYS
Cons: So the unholy alliance between you and other vendors results in confusion over who owns the reservation. Price-line, you, Dollar Rental? Who knew? The address was wrong. No help calling anyone. A mess. I get there are bread crumbs for each referral, and its easy to wipe your hands and pass the buck, but it makes it hard for poor consumers like me. I vote with my feet. Will not use your site, nor will I allow it to be used by my employees for travel planning. I think I'll block access at our firewall.
