Very good experience! Simple process - very friendly service attitude made the process happy and successful completed, nearby pickup clear location. Delivery of the vehicle also quite a lot of staff on site. Thank you very much to your company for providing convenience and speed. Next time I rent a car be sure to find your company and share with friends. "The key point again is that the car is very new and fuel efficient."

The car was in good condition, and the rental price was reasonable. It easily accommodated two adults and two children with their own luggage. Pick-up and drop-off were both at Melbourne Airport Terminal 1-3 parking lot, and a staff member was available to pick up the car at the designated drop-off point – excellent service. If you purchased rental insurance through Trip.com, you don't need to buy it separately from the rental company.

Mazda CX-5
Experience to pick up car was all good and easy including the return as well. But at the time of car pick up, I was only told the car was changed to a Kia Sportage where I’ve initially booked the Mazda CX5 although both car models are similar. Will appreciate if a change of car model being booked can be communicated ahead to customer prior to the pick up of the rental car. Otherwise, a good experience overall.

The car we rented was pwrfect for our family of 6. I got us through 9 days of driving along coastal drives for 9 days with no problems. Car is well maintained. Taking over and handing over the car was seamless and convenient with no hassle. Definitely will recommend.

The Mazda CX-3 I rented this time was very clean and in good condition. It drove smoothly, and the staff were very friendly and patient in explaining everything. Returning the car was super convenient; I drove it back, parked it, and the staff checked it in less than 5 minutes! It was really convenient and fast.

Australia car rental FAQs
What documents and information do I need to provide to rent a car in Australia?
Depending on the rental supplier and the country or region you're visiting, the car rental supplier may require certain documents (such as a valid driver’s license, passport, credit card, and other documents with your name and address) along with a printed booking voucher. We recommend checking with your rental supplier and the local embassy or consulate (or their websites) of your destination country/region before booking. Please remember that all travelers are responsible for preparing the correct documents before departure. Important notice: All additional driver and equipment fees must be paid at the time of pickup. Please ensure your credit card can cover these fees. If you cannot provide a valid credit card, if your credit limit is insufficient, or if the card is not in the main driver’s name, the staff may refuse to let you pick up the car, and no refund will be provided. If this is the case, you may not receive a refund.Do I need to buy insurance when renting a car in Australia?
Car rental insurance is an essential factor to consider when renting a car. It offers protection and peace of mind during your rental period by reducing potential risks and liabilities.

Car rental suppliers typically offer various insurance options, including personal accident insurance, personal effects coverage, and collision damage waivers. Be sure to check if the car rental supplier offers insurance and what types are available, consider the risks, and choose the appropriate coverage for a worry-free car rental experience.How to cancel or modify a car rental booking?
