    Après un appel téléphonique, toujours pas de facture alors que des frais de 80 dollars ont été retirés. Après appel, ces frais sont dus à une restitution tardive lié à une tempête sur kangaroo island. Nous avons prévenu et on nous a dit qu'il n'y avait pas de souci , qu'is avaient l'habitude de ce type de situation. En finalité j'apprends en regardant mon compte qu'une journée supplémentaire a été facturée....

    They blamed me for past car damage. When I rented the car, I pointed out the scratches, and the staff told me minor scratches didn't matter. In the end, they charged me 3300 AUD when I returned the car home. This company is a scam. I will never rent from them again. Their integrity is terrible.

    Thrifty provided great service. The staff at the branch were enthusiastic, and after checking my driver's license and translation, the process was quick. After paying the rental fee and a 385 AUD pre-authorization on my credit card, I received the car keys. When inspecting the car, the staff noted some small scratches, which I appreciated. During the return process, the staff instructed me to drop the keys in a box without an immediate inspection, which made me a bit anxious. I took photos of the fuel gauge and the car's exterior, but there were no problems. Thrifty later confirmed via email that there were no damages. Overall, I was very satisfied with the services from both QEEQ and Thrifty, and I hope other travelers can have the same experience.

    The promised GLE was replaced with a GLC, and they claimed both cars are in the same class. But in reality, the price difference is huge. Strongly recommend not to trust this car rental company. (There was no option for a GLC among the available models, so I chose a Mercedes-Benz C-Class wagon)

    Waited for an hour and a half to get the car! They explained that it was due to the Chinese New Year, so there were more people, but the problem was that there were hardly any Chinese people in line, mostly foreigners. I booked a mid-size SUV, Mitsubishi Outlander, but ended up getting a Camry. Didn't want to wait any longer, so I took the Camry. Overall, I felt the efficiency was a bit low.

    There is no Chinese service. Possibly due to the high demand for rentals during the New Year, the attitude of a few foreigners was terrible; they showed no expression and were very impatient when explaining issues. The car model I booked was unavailable, and I was given a very small car with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude.

    I rented from Thrifty and waited in line for a bit. I'm not very good at English, but the staff wrote down key information for me, including the total insurance amount (required for those under 25), deposit fees, return time, etc. They didn't try to upsell additional services.

    The rental company had poor service. I left sunglasses worth nearly ten thousand yuan in the car when returning it. Half an hour later, when I went back to retrieve them, the company claimed there were no items left in the car! There also seemed to be clear discrimination against Chinese people.

    Arrived at the store around 3 PM but didn't get the car until after 5 PM. The tiny store was in complete chaos. Despite having prepaid for the rental well in advance, there was no car available. After several phone calls, they finally found a car that had just been returned, but it needed to be cleaned first... I wasn't the only one; a group of people were all waiting for the staff to find cars on the spot, standing in the parking lot waiting for the staff to clean each car and drive them over from another location. An old man with an Australian accent kept saying: 'I've been to countless places and never seen such terrible service....'

    I was supposed to pick up the Benz GLE at 11:00, but it was not available until 18:00. Fortunately, the store arranged a Mitsubishi for me to use in the city, but it did delay my schedule a bit.
