Good communication.
Good communication.
Only issue, which was resolved well, was that we advised we would be dropping the car off ,one hour later to depot in Darwin. We were told this would be ok. However when we got there at 5pm (actually just before), it was closed. We contacted and they said that we should have been told that the facility would be closed when we arrived (although I think closing time was 5pm when we later checked). We were given instructions to leave the car there at the facility and to hide the key and send pics. We did all that. We were then able to fulfill the rest of our plans for the night without inconvenience.

One week after returning the car and…
One week after returning the car and the holding deposit of $500 still hasn’t been returned to my account. Asked for insurance to be taken out a second time despite paying for full comprehensive insurance at the time of booking. Said it was a different insurance.
I was grateful for the car provided it was better than expected, however the administration is not so good.

It's very unusual for your holding deposit not to have been returned by now, Angela. The deposits are held as a pending transaction, and when they're released, the bank deletes the pending transaction, releasing the funds. If that pending transaction is no longer in your transaction history, then you should have access to your funds.
According to our records, you booked a booking agent. The insurance you purchased during their booking process is a Third Party Policy, and works as a reimbursement for damage claims from your rental. This means that, while we understand the confusion, the Third Party Cover and our Direct Cover are distinct products.
We're glad to hear that the vehicle was a highlight, however!
Very friendly

Everyone was helpful but I was disappointed that your company no longer allowed Australian currency for payment as it is still legal tender

We appreciate your feedback. We understand your disappointment regarding not accepting cash, but we do believe that the benefits of being cashless for both you and us outweigh the negatives, such as having a clear paper trail, being able to charge the card mid-rental for extensions or relocations, and a far simpler refund process if you can't return to a depot. We are glad to hear that otherwise, all was well.

Our experience was fantastic
Our experience was fantastic. Walked in hoping something would be available on a Saturday afternoon for 9 days. Picked up an SUV Hybrid on Sunday morning at a very competitive price with zero excess and good mileage allowance. It was just so easy and the lady who helped us was great.
