Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have an option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic, verified, and trustworthy.

United Kingdom
Suzuki Baleno
January 26, 2024

Pros: The return process was efficient

Cons: The agent we dealt with collecting the car was rude unnecessarily , poor communication skills . Unexpected and excessive charge on card in case of possible accident claim.

Australia
Kia Picanto
December 4, 2023

Cons: When I went to drop the car off it was confusing because it was in a commercial car park. I did not know if I could just drive in/whether I would have to pay etc. It was raining, and I had to park outside and go in to find the EastCoast reps. It would have helped if I had been told when I picked the car up, what the arrangement was.

Singapore
Audi Q5
November 23, 2023

Pros: Friendly staffs and explaining patiently to me.

Cons: None

Australia
Mitsubishi Eclipse
September 2, 2023

Cons: It was very hard to extend our rental, and it cost nearly twice as much for the extension

Thailand
Mitsubishi Outlander
August 30, 2023

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Overbooked vehicles, was telling multiple clients that had booked and paid that they need to find alternative rentals. I managed to get a car after waiting nearly 1 hour, however, was not the vehicle I requested. The holding deposit ($1000) has been deducted from my credit card not just placed a hold on my card like most rentals. Still have not received my deposit back

Australia
MG ZS
July 31, 2023

Pros: Male agent very kindly helped me take my suitcase to the pickup location 400m from the office. A very kind gesture. He was quite a new employee.

Cons: Cost of CBD pickup and airport drop off too high at $55. I’m sure the cars being moved would pan out anyway with a lot being required at the airport.

Spain
Toyota Corolla
July 29, 2023

Pros: Efficient hand-over, clean car.

Cons: See above.

Hong Kong
Hyundai Kona
May 25, 2023

Pros: Reasonable price. Convenience location in city.

Cons: Chinese car. MG - the brand that we would not recommend.

Singapore
Toyota Corolla
April 23, 2023

Pros: Convenient pick up at CBD and Saturday operating hours.

Cons: Only one agent operating at counter.

Hong Kong
Hyundai Kona
April 16, 2023

Pros: The garage guys are friendly and helpful. Very appreciated to pick up my pair of glasses left behind.

Cons: The office and pick up point are not at the same location. Even they are nearby, first comers still need to take sone time to go to the pick-up parking lot.

Australia
Mitsubishi Lancer
January 25, 2023

Pros: The staff were nice and helpful

Cons: The car wasn't clean or full of fuel which cost us extra money, and charged extra to drop at main airport upon returning it

United Kingdom
Mitsubishi Lancer
January 15, 2023

Pros: Good reception in central location

Cons: Had cars in a separate location with limited staff

Germany
Hyundai Kona
January 11, 2023

Pros: The price was very good, good location near CBD (5min walk von office to the garage)

Cons: No key drop off, so I could leave the car at night at the rental office but had to come back at 8am to return the keys in person

Australia
Hyundai Kona
December 30, 2022

Pros: Only thing I have no complaints is car dropping off. The guys checked very fast.

Cons: First of all, the rental desk representative Abeer in Melbourne is very rude and unprofessional. He did not go through contract terms and conditions and tricked me to pay an extra insurance cover which I have already paid when made the booking online. He is very inefficient as he was trying to service multiple customers at the same time. I was waiting for more than an hour because he did not let the cleaner know that I need a baby car seat installed. He also stopped me when I drive out the car.

Singapore
Suzuki Swift
November 21, 2022

Pros: Quick car collection and return process

New Zealand
Mitsubishi Eclipse
August 22, 2022

Pros: Good, honest, get what you pay for rental company.

Singapore
Hyundai Kona
August 16, 2022

Cons: The clarity in the cost, it felt like the extra cost was sprung onto me upon collection, as I had to pay extra not knowing why. I was not given a choice to pay a non-refundable cost (not a deposit) as it "supposedly" ensures that I wouldn't have to fork out more if the car was damaged in any way. All of which should have been covered under the insurance I had included in the package upon reservation.

Australia
Hyundai Kona
July 18, 2022

Pros: Most of it done online.

Cons: Trying to find the car park where my car was.

Australia
Hyundai Kona

June 30, 2021
