hey guys i'm back! time for my turn to share.
rented an Elantra from Apex in Gold Coast with $500 excess.
Picking Up
Picking up the car was hassle free! Just use a payphone to call the toll free number to get them to pick you up when you arrive. The pick up point is at the open carpark outside the airport. They will arrive in a black van in less than 5mins after you hang up the phone and drive you to their shop.
At the shop, payment has to be made before you get your car. Note that if you pass by any toll, Apex will charge an administrative fee of AUD $3.30 per day on top of any toll charges. This will be charged to your credit card. The staff will show you to your car then indicate on a paper which part of the car has dents / major scratches etc etc so that they will know it's not caused by you during return.
Returning Car
Returning was fast as well. We reached the shop at 7.15am and we were the only people returning the car. Once the staff check through your car, they will send you to the airport. We were queuing at the airport at 7.30am.
Fuel Consumption
We found the car to be very fuel efficient.. but then again, maybe our car in SG is a fuel drinker. Haha. We topped up less than AUD $100 for our 8days. We travelled from GC to Brisbane twice during the trip though because we wanted to go back to the DFO on our 2nd last day.
We would use Apex again definitely!
how much did you pay for ur rental?
