5* all the way from beginning to end

5* all the way from beginning to end, will definitely use this company again if we return to Brisbane.
Hired a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid plus satnav from Brisbane central office the young lass was professional and helpful, dropped car off at the airport hub and shuttle bus took us to the airport. It was all effortless.
Keep it up guys good work 👍

Hi Diane,

Thanks so much for the 5-star review - we really appreciate it.

Great to hear everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and that the Brisbane Airport team looked after you so well. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to them :)

Hope to see you again next time you're back in Brisbane!

Warm regards,

Good service

Even though we hired one of the slightly older, higher mileage cars, it drove perfectly. They were very accommodating with our mixup with the returning date (our fault). Would recommend East Coast Cars

Reply - Yes, I believe I mention that in the below review. You offered some reimbursement for your error. But that is the crux of this review isn't it. You deem that solves the matter whereas I disagree, I am still out of pocket for your mistake. Not solely from a monetary standpoint either, but mine and my wife's time standing on a curb next to your closed office with our 2 year old child after a long 3 days of travel and then the following day having to make the return trip to Brisbane to drop off the second unnecessary car and pick up the original booking.
So, you'll excuse me if I don't agree that the matter has been "solved"

Booked a pick up, called to ensure they'd be there after a flight delay, turned up to a closed office with luggage and a baby in tow. Incurred fees of a taxi and a second rental to get to my hotel. Then had to rearrange everything to recollect the original rental. Then spent a month chasing them up for reimbursement, to which half was paid.
It's a pity that poor reviews are the only thing that carries currency in a world of increasingly poor customer service. It would be one star if not for the work of one or human interactions after the fact. I think I'll stick with paying slightly more for a reputable company in the future.

I booked a car with East Coast Rentals…

I booked a car with East Coast Rentals via Booking.com and, overall, the experience was disappointing due to a lack of transparency and communication.

I had already purchased full coverage insurance through Booking (covering damage, theft, and excess fees), and I know from previous rentals that rental companies are informed of this when the booking is made. However, at the counter, the staff did not acknowledge this at all. They simply said that “with what I had included,” I would need to leave a $1000 AUD deposit and be liable up to that amount. No explanation was given about the Booking insurance or how it applied. Feeling unsure after a long trip, I paid an extra $150 AUD for their own coverage which ment $550 excess — something I wouldn’t have done if the situation had been explained clearly.

The car (a Mitsabishi) functioned okay but was given to us with a half tank which we had to return to inform the staff as they recorded it as a full tank.

The most frustrating moment was that we had to catch an early flight when returning the car. We had to drop the car off at a specific parking lot and had to pay the parking fee of $60 to leave it there for 2 hours.

Furthermore we didn't do a final inspection together and they charged me $550 excess for damage to the car that was deemed as wear and tear. Complete fraudulant, no paper work signed in agreeance of the damage which happened after drop off as I had photos of the car when dropped off at the Paking Lot.

When questioned the staff about this transaction, I was ignored, this ended up having to been chased up by the bank as a dispute. Got our money back after a massive battle and waste of time. This money should not have been taken out in the first place.

The staff wasn’t rude, but the overall experience felt poorly handled and not transparent. I wouldn’t recommend East Coast Rentals, especially to international travellers.

Hi George,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear this experience felt frustrating and unclear at the time.

This matter has since been reviewed, and the charge relating to the damage was refunded in full after being re-assessed as fair wear and tear by our Claims Team.

In relation to cover, when insurance is purchased through a third-party booking platform, it does not reduce the liability under the rental agreement. The excess remains in place and a security bond is required at collection. At the counter, our team explain how this works so customers can make an informed decision.

We also note your feedback regarding communication at the counter and during the return process. This has been followed up internally to ensure clearer and more consistent handling moving forward.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as feedback like this helps us continue to improve.

Well done East Coast Rentals

Easy online booking. The car was as stated, clean and well appointed. The staff were very helpful at both ends as I picked up in Adelaide and dropped off in Melbourne. Both shuttle transports were seamless. Balvinder was a great guy and very efficient in getting us to Melbourne Airport. Excellent company to deal with. Thank you East Coast Rentals

I lodged a formal complaint with this eCar s service and never received any response or follow-up, which is extremely concerning.
I have since escalated the matter to Fair Trading. After reviewing all correspondence, including emails and messages from this company, I was advised that the manager’s conduct is serious and to be reported to the police, as well as to AFCA. I will now be proceeding with both
The lack of accountability, failure to respond to complaints, and overall handling of this situation is completely unacceptable. No customer should be treated this away it’s disgusting behaviour and they are getting away with it obviously

Very time consuming

Nice customer experience but:

- long wait for a car
- when they finally found my hybrid car, it was dirty
- they had to take extra time to find a new car

Hi Kim & Fiona,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re glad to hear you had a positive interaction with the team, though we’re sorry the overall experience felt time consuming.

Waiting for a vehicle and then needing to change cars is not the smooth collection experience we aim to provide. Your feedback has been shared with the Adelaide Airport branch management team so this can be reviewed.

We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Everything went well with our car hire

Everything went well with our car hire. Directions for the shuttle bus pick-up were clear, we didn't wait long for the pick-up, and collection of the car was quick and easy. Staff were friendly. Return of the car was just as good. Cost of the hire was actually the cheapest I could find. Very happy.

Going elsewhere in the future.

Paid for full insurance through booking.com. went to pick car up at Launceston and the counter staff still wanted me to take out insurance through them aswell as he reckoned they don't cover everything? Three weeks after we handed the car back we got a $71:50 amount taken out of our account no email or call/text to say why.
The cars may be cheap to hire but make sure you check out the fine print.

Resposta da East Coast Car Rentals

Hi Brad,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand how unexpected charges after a rental can feel frustrating, especially when you’re not sure what they relate to.

The $71.50 charge is an administration fee linked to an infringement incurred during the hire. As the registered owner of the vehicle, we’re required to process and nominate any tolls or infringements. This fee is outlined under the Important Notice section at the top of the rental agreement, and a notification is sent to the email address on file when the charge is processed.

In relation to cover, when insurance is purchased through a third-party provider such as Booking.com, it generally works as an excess refund product. This means the liability under the rental agreement remains in place. If damage occurs, the excess is paid at the time and then claimed back from the provider afterwards.

If your aim is to have no out-of-pocket expense in the event of damage, selecting cover at the counter is the most direct way to achieve this, regardless of which car rental company you hire with.

We know there’s a bit to take in, and taking a moment to review the booking confirmation and rental agreement before collection can make the process feel much clearer on the day.

Regards,

ECCR Team

Schlechtere Kategorie bekommen als gebucht

Ich hatte ein Premium bzw. Oberklasse SUV mit Allrad Antrieb gebucht (FFBR). Ich erhielt jedoch lediglich einen Standard SUV mit Heckantrieb. East Coast hat den Wagen einfach als Premium Fahrzeug mit Allrad klassifiziert und sich damit aus der Verantwortung gestohlen. Eine Reklamation wurde lapidar einfach abgelehnt.
Am Ende habe ich wesentlich mehr bezahlt als notwendig. Daher kann ich diesen Laden absolut nicht empfehlen.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

For context, the FFBR category can include a range of different models depending on availability at each location. Not all branches carry the same vehicles, and the images shown online represent examples from our nationwide fleet rather than a specific guaranteed model.

That said, we would genuinely like the opportunity to look into what happened during your hire and clarify the situation for you.

Please feel welcome to reach out to our customer service team (cs@eccr.om.au) with your booking details so we can review it properly.

Kind regards,
Team ECCR

A pleasant surprise

Recenty rented in Tasmania. Given these guys were cheaper than the car rental places on the airport, I wasn't expecting much, but the free shuttle and customer service was actually better than i've had with some of the big brands.

Car was fine, but very impressed by this company. Will be back.

My 3rd experience with EastCoast…

My 3rd experience with EastCoast Adelaide Airport was as perfect as the previous 2. The welcoming, polite, helpful staff at every point of the process made every aspect a breeze - phone booking, quick shuttle pick-up from airport to office/car yard, no credit card fee for payment, explanation of any part of the car workings that I wasn't familiar with, car return. Wouldn't even consider looking elsewhere for future Adelaide trips. Great value for money. Thanks to Taji, Faheem & Salim at the venue and Alan & Sinas who were great with the shuttle bus.

The price and ease of renting a car was…

The price and ease of renting a car was awesome. My only complaint and this is why it was a 4 star and not 5, is that when I made the booking via Booking.com it said the car was a Toyota Rav4 (it was quite specific, there was no ambiguity). However upon collection, you image my surprise when I collected a Haval H6. The Haval was probably bigger and met our needs, but it's not a Rav4. If you advertise one thing, then that is what should be delivered.

Hi Alex, thanks so much for your feedback for choosing us in Adeliade - we're really glad to hear the price and ease of booking hit the mark :)

When bookings are made via third-party sites like booking.com, vehicle types are listed as "or similar", which means you may receive an equivalent vehicle in the same category depending on availability at the time of collection.

The HAVAL H6 sits within the same SUV category, and we're pleased it met your needs size-wise, though we understand completely that you would have preferred a Toyota RAV4.

If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

We hope to see you again next time.

Excellent comms

Excellent communication upon arrival at the airport and we were quickly picked up by a super friendly man. A fast, uncomplicated check in proceeded at the business (located very close to airport) and we had an upgrade to be able to fit all the suitcases in.
Process to return the car was even speedier! A great team working at this car rental company which I would recommend and use again.
