EastCoast Car Rentals in Melbourne (Downtown)
Customer Ratings and Latest Reviews
Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have the 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.
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.
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.
Pros: Friendly staffs and explaining patiently to me.
Cons: None
Cons: It was very hard to extend our rental, and it cost nearly twice as much for the extension
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
