Car was new and spacious. Has no car rubber mat. So had to get some plastic garbage bag to cover i

The location is easy to find. We rented the car at Melbourne Southern Cross and returned it at Sydney International Airport. Both pick-up and drop-off were smooth.

Picked up the car in Melbourne and returned it in Sydney, everything went smoothly.

Initially scheduled to pick up the car near the hotel at Southern Cross Station. When we arrived on time, we were told that the car model wasn't available there and were directed to another pickup point about two kilometers away. This was a hassle with kids and large luggage, and it was difficult to get a cab for six people. The rental company just said there was nothing they could do, leaving us to sort it out ourselves. Why offer a pickup point if it’s unreliable? No credibility...

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..

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.
