Cons: didn’t particularly like the vehicle drop-off, I struggled to find parking. I dropped off the vehicle at 4am and lighting was poor, nearly tripped off the stairs after placing car keys in the box. All car insurance options should be included online, after paying for insurance online you then try selling more at pick-up - be transparent. We also didn’t go through the condition report upon pick-up/drop-off despite a few calls to rectify the issue - was sent an outdated/incorrect condition report.

Pros: Nice new cars

Cons: The wait time was an hour , the situation of paying more money at the counter ! If the insurance I paid for isnt connected to the booking then dont make it an option ! Very misleading.. I dont have alot of money . Was told no smoking in the car and it must of had smokers last time because it stunk of ciggies

Pros: Quick service while dropping off the car.

Cons: Health and safety issue - They sold me a very old phone holder which didn't even work properly. The suction of the phone holder was worn off. It put me in danger when the suction didn't work and my phone along with phone holder fell on the car floor while driving on the freeway. They shouldn't sell damaged goods to customer. These can be life threatening.

Pros: Staff were quick at processing pick up and drop off

Cons: Transfer driver from airport to car rental was irrationally driving on wrong side of road, too busy watching his booking screen and sitting at green lights for 10 seconds before realizing it was green . It was a frightening airport transfer for my partner

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Nil

Cons: Time taken

Pros: The process is smooth.

Cons: EastCoast & Discovery Car are having an underground deal which scams users of buying useless car insurance. If EastCoast has nothing to do with the scam, then it should stop using Discovery Car platform to lease out cars!

Pros: Terry the shuttle bus driver was helpfull, nice and all round funny guy :)

Cons: They forgot to tell me exactly how to drop off the car after hours, but it was easy to figure out

Cons: the toll fee should be charged at just one time instead of charging in different day and sending the invoice separately which is confusing.

Pros: The car was lovely and tidy. It performed well The team member I had was in training, she did a great job Overall I would still recommend that company. I haven't had these issues in the past when choosing East Coast.

Cons: Was overlooked at the arranged pick up area. No toilet paper 2 holders empty no spares. I was very disappointed they didn't have an early service to run me back to the airport before my flight. So I needed to arrange my own way back to the airport 6kms away at 5.30-6am

Pros: A stated before

Cons: A stated before

Pros: Amazing service. Picked me up from airport 45 minutes after they had stopped doing shuttle runs for the day, extended the lease quickly and easily when I asked, car was in great condition & drove well. Everyone involved from the call center to the shuttle driver were incredibly helpful and kind. Would recommend again to anyone/hire from them again.

Pros: Honest and friendly

Cons: Pickup time was too long, but i understand that there was shortage of staff.

Pros: Lovely helpful people

Cons: Car smelled of cigarettes

Pros: All good

Cons: Not much choice

Pros: Great price.

Cons: The rental office was not open at the time I specified that I would drop off the vehicle -- therefore no transport back to the airport. Which means I had to drop it off a day early, and then pay for transport back to the city, and then back to the airport the following morning. I can't understand why they, and you took my reservation when you knew that my proposed drop off time was before the office opened. Moreover, I was charged A$50.00 for the early dropoff.

Pros: Very friendly staff

Cons: Car wasn’t really clean and only had 3/4 tank of petrol.

Cons: service was misleading, i was asked to pay excess for insurance although on my booking it specifically advised i was insured for up to $4500, the lady at the counter kept giving me the spiel that discovery is not associated with eastcoast. I'll be ensuring all this is provided on online reviews unless i am compensated and reimbursed. Also the petrol was only half full when we picked it up and i put another 50% extra fill on top not knowing how much to put in.
