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.

Good service

Quick response

The only negative with the booking experience is the delay in receiving the $1500 deposit. I was told it would take 2 weeks for that amount to be returned to my account. I feel this is too long. Can this be looked into, please?

EZU is a very small rental car company. Both times we picked up the car, there was only one staff handling multiple customers. So we had to wait for a long time before the group in front us was finished. When we dropped off the car, we ended up being 30min later due to the traffic. The staff charged us 5 times of the daily rate as penalty!

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.
