Good experience

I booked to pick up the car at 9 am and requested two child seats. However, the rental company did not prepare them, which took me two and a half hours to finally get the car seats. We could only depart at 11:30 am. My plans for the day were canceled, and we arrived at the accommodation close to midnight. It was very bad.

I spent more than 1 hour to wait for pick up by Atlas. The operator asked me to wait for her/his bus in red & finally the operator said the bus was broken down so that pick up was delayed for hour. In the meantime, no alternative arrangement & thus I waited for more than 1 hour at the brown zone outside Tullamarine Airport on 23/9. Terrible service!! Also, none of the staff arrange car checking with me. The operator at the pick up point just gave me the key, in fact the first he gave a wrong key to me, to start my journey. The car was dirty and has scars on front. To protect myself, I took photos before starting the engine. No service at all!!

Bad condition externally with scratches and bumps; dirty interior and smelled of stale cigarettes.

When order online I didn't purchase insurance. During pick up the staff that serves me makes me feel uncomfortable and I felt kinda like threaten while he try to ask me to buy the insurance. Very don't care attitude and I don't feel like I'm welcome at all. Eventually I end up bought the insurance which I'm not happy and willingly AT ALL. Drop off staff was completely different from the pickup staff and if it's other way round it would be great. Dropped off the car and the staff checked the car and I even asked if everything is good and the staff said everything is good and I'm good to go. Called customer service to check about the deposit refund few days after and replied I should be able to get back my deposit on 22/2. Nothing happens until 26/2 and I have to call again and asked if there's any problem with the deposit refund, replied everything is good and they will send the request to the related department to process the refund. There's still no refund till the moment I write this comment which is already 1/3. Extremely disappointed and unhappy from the very beginning till this moment of time. Have to admit this company offers cheaper price compared to others but after this experience I won't even consider about this company ANYMORE regardless of how cheap they offer.

When I rang Atlas from the airport I was asked which terminal I was in ... not sure, but that was corrected when I spoke with someone. But we found the pickup area quickly, the bus arrived within 10 minutes and I was served quickly at pickup and dropoff. My only comment was that the car had plenty of scraped paint and was dirty inside - but for the savings I made vs hiring from the airport, I didn't mind at all. I will be a returning customer!
