Absolutely fantastic. See the end for a list of features, pros and cons. It's a well driven car at roughly 340,000km but had zero issue the entire trip. When not thinking about fuel economy it uses 7L/100km and that's going over the mountains, when prioritising fuel economy we got it down to 5.2L/100km turning what would be a $400 trip into only $270 of fuel. The car was presented to us absolutely spotless inside and clean outside with a couple scrapes on the outside that don't affect anything (who cares, we spend the whole trip inside anyway). The car does make a slight knocking sound from time to time whilst in park, but it doesn't affect anything (and we drove over 2,000km in a few days so would have noticed something if it was anything major.. the owner assures us it's only in park and has been checked and is safe. The owner also worked with my extrodinarily poor planning and allowed me to make 2 minor adjustments last minute at no cost which saved our a** so much, if course they were small adjustments. This was by far the best car rental experience I have had in my 7 years of renting cars, I haven't rented in a few years since working FIFO and was honestly worried I was going to have a poor experience but this was certainly a great experience. I will most certainly be renting from this person again when I need a car for a long trip, it was just simply simple, the car was great, fuel efficiency on this particular car was great, boot room was great, etc. Features/pros - Wagon, heaps of room, seats fold down to completely flat, we were able to comfortably sleep in the back during a rest stop. - great fuel economy. 7L/100 standard, able to get down to 5.2L/100km when trying to keep it low. (1050km range to a tank) - Bluetooth, decent sound system, we cranked it up and blasted music the whole way, clear enough and loud enough for audiobooks and podcasts too. - VERY comfortable long distance. We drove 8 hours straight with only 2 15 minute toilet breaks and then done the same on return. - spotless interior - easy to deal with owner Cons - lights are kinda dim but not as bad as other reviews state,, just make sure the headlight level adjustment is set to the high position and it's fine, it was set to low by the last person so no wonder it was hard to see. - clanking noise in park, but it has zero effect on the car, we prove that over a 2100km drive. - srape on left side of vehicle. (No effect on anything. So yeah, not really a cons list There are more pros but my phone is about to die. Just thought I'd say the stuff I wish all reviews had
I had a fantastic experience renting from Ricky. He was extremely accommodating with all my requests and went the extra mile by servicing the car before handing it over to me. The car was in great condition and performed fantastically throughout the rental. It was smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable to drive, and I had absolutely no issues with it. Overall, a really great rental experience with Ricky, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free car rental.
David was communicative, pickup and drop off was easy with clear instructions, car drove well, overall very satisfied with our experience. Great cost friendly alternative to bigger car rental companies with a lot more flexibility, but come with the right expectations (i.e. don't expect a squeaky clean car)
Responsive host, reliable car and affordable price. It was convinient to able pick up after 5 pm. Thanks
Nick is the best host I have ever seen! The car condition is perfect! The FSD is really useful during my trip, it helped me a lot and made me more relaxed as well! I will absolutely rent Nick’s car again next time I come here! Awesome trip!
Fun little car to do a day trip! Easy pickup location and great communication with host! 10/10 would rent again
Great experience with Daniel’s 911. The car was wonderful and pick up was seamless, really close to the train station. Daniel was very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for helping make my husband’s 50th bday Trudy’s extra special.
Fantastic guy to deal with. Yaris was great to drive, super cheap to run and comfortable. Owner is super easy to deal with! Would definitely recommend and use again. 🙂
The car rental process was very easy and smooth. Suraj, the owner, personally brought the car key to the meeting point, which I really appreciated. I prefer this much more than using a lockbox, as I’ve had issues with passcodes before. The car was clean, easy to use, and very comfortable to drive. Communication with the owner was excellent — he was easy to contact and replied to messages quickly. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend this rental.
Absolute pleasure to deal with from initial booking, through to pick up and drop off! Highly recommended host
Great experience! The car was clean, pick-up and return were easy, and the host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommended!
Great car to drive and Stanley was a really good communicator. Very easy experience
Excellent car, great communication by Stanley. Overall oustanding experience. This car is showing its age but that shouldn’t put you off! Highly recommend.
Great car and service from Jarryd. Easy to communicate with and everything is clear. Highly recommend
