Ok. |
| reservation |
Yes, via website of travel agent. The first
and 3rd time this was effectively through Britz Melbourne/Hobart, the
second time through Thrifty Brisbane. All times excellently arranged by
Fivesenses in Rotterdam |
| price |
The rental fee depends on factors like
season, supply & demand, but Thrifty tends to be somewhat less expensive
|
| car |
Mitsubishi Outlander as affordable
compromise between an expensive 4WD and a 2WD ( ie All wheel drive) .
The second time only a Ford Territory was available which , although
large and comfortable, is a lot bigger and with higher fuel consumption.
The 3rd time (as only 2 days) a Suzuki Swift. |
| service, remarks |
In Sydney , the car was returned just in front of the car rental
office at the airport but without explanation the deposit was only
refunded partly . Asked for explanation, they said steam cleaning was
needed, something only done on a very dirty interior which had certainly
not been the case . Only after much correspondence , this was returned .
Since then we let Thrifty ( and others ) sign for the return even if
that requires that someone has to come to the counter in the middle of
the night , like the 2nd time . |
