Overall pleasant enough to do it again

Not many people in line.

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.

It took 2 hours from entering the store to getting the car

Very good, just don't rely too much on GPS guides as they can sometimes mislead you!

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.
