The attitude during car return was not good.

Very professional. Since it's full coverage, no extra check-in or check-out inspections are needed, similar to the no-liability insurance in China. The car was very new, just over 5000 kilometers, much better than the typical 20000 kilometers in China. However, others picking up a car at Franklin Hertz should be aware that the cars are parked in a garage, and you need to drive them down yourself. It's tricky if you're not used to right-hand drive cars yet. You can ask the staff to bring the car to the ground level before handing it over. At Melbourne Airport, there's a dedicated return lane for rental cars. It's a shared lane for all rental companies and not the entrance to a private car parking. Please pay attention to this.

Extremely poor experience. I was attended by a Chinese staff member when renting the car in Melbourne. I confirmed the return details multiple times, and she emphasized twice that I only needed to return the keys and nothing else. I purchased all the recommended insurance for safety, but she told me I didn't buy roadside assistance. Later, QEEQ confirmed that roadside assistance was included in the full insurance, and I ended up paying an extra 25 AUD due to her misleading information. QEEQ mentioned that the personal insurance I bought through them wasn't visible to HERTZ, which was odd, especially since the Chinese staff member claimed I had purchased all other insurance except roadside assistance. When I returned the car at Adelaide airport, I provided the final refueling receipt, and the tank was full. The staff there just let me go. However, they deducted a pre-authorized amount of 168 AUD on the same day. I immediately called QEEQ, but they were confused too. Four or five days later, QEEQ sent me a HERTZ invoice charging 306.91 AUD, claiming the car was dirty with sand, requiring a steam clean for 180 AUD. We were five women on a road trip, and we kept the car clean, sweeping it daily. How could there not be sand on the Great Ocean Road? Why didn't they mention any of this when I rented the car? They also charged mysterious management fees and service fees! This is clearly extortion! I complained to QEEQ again, but they told me to wait. Eventually, HERTZ deducted the money directly, and QEEQ provided no solution even after a month. It seems they washed their hands off once the money was deducted! I'm utterly disappointed with both QEEQ and HERTZ! Future renters, think twice...

Hertz is a big company and generally quite good, but make sure to refuel before returning the car because Hertz's fuel prices are twice as high as outside! I reserved a Highlander, but they only gave me a RAV4.
