We arrived early in the morning and got a shuttle from the airport to the car rental company, which took about ten minutes and was fairly convenient. However, during pickup, the company did not explain the types of insurance available. The basic rental package did not cover anything. When returning the car, the service agent insisted we provide photos of most of the existing damage or paint chips. Essentially, if you don't take pictures or if they are not clear, the company assumes you caused the damage. Although we had photos of some scratches, there was one we missed photographing, which resulted in a charge of AUD 3000!!! They used a magnifying glass to find scratches, claiming the fee was for activating the insurance. This fee is enough to replace vehicle parts entirely. It seems like they make money off these charges. They said there were no other Chinese rental companies in Australia... I recommend carefully choosing a company. Generally, basic rental costs with Avis or Budget are not this nitpicky. Even if you buy insurance, photograph the entire vehicle inside and out, otherwise, you never know what kind of trouble might arise.

I’m surprised it was run by group of Chinese operator

We were very pleased that EZU offered to add a second driver for free. We were already impressed that the rental cost was so much lower, and that the deductible for insurance claims was also lower. When I dropped off the car, they offered to shuttle me to the nearest public transit rather than the airport, as I was staying in town. This was very helpful.

Car condition is good.

Very good so far.

Had to call a local number for pick up so that cost a lot from my UK mobile. Was surprised at no courtesy phone in arrivals area. However, we did receive a nice model upgrade from Qashqui to X-Trail which more than made up for that.
