Car was good, counter was slow

The actual car was nice and clean, no complaints there. The frustrating bit was the desk, just really slow for no obvious reason. Took about 35 minutes and there were only a few people ahead of us.

Solid, no drama

Quick shuttle, friendly enough staff, car matched booking. Did a weekend down the Great Ocean Road and had zero problems. Would use them again.

Melbourne Airport Redspot — honest advice for Tullamarine

Staff warned us about the CityLink tolls and gave genuine alternatives. The Toyota Camry was clean and return was straightforward. Australian-owned and it showed in the service quality.

Melbourne Airport Avis — Tullamarine standard

Consistent Avis experience — the Toyota RAV4 was clean, return process explained clearly, and no surprises on the final bill. Nothing flashy, just reliable.

Melbourne Airport Thrifty — solid choice, watch the toll pass

Quick pickup and a clean Mazda CX-5 made a good first impression, but the Linkt toll explanation felt rushed and we ended up paying for unused days.
