Smooth pickup and drop off car was good.

Smooth pickup and drop off car was good.

We hired a Renault small SUV for four…

We hide A Renault small SUV for four days in it done approximately 4000 K, so was in good condition. The only annoying factor was a rattle in the drivers door. The service at the counter was good and fast as was the shuttle to the airport The right was okay cheaper than most but like everything these days too expensive. The only other negative comment that I would make is that their shuttle service only goes between their base and the airport. They don’t pick up or drop off at hotels. I know a lot of higher car companies only do that these days but Some will do the hotel pick up and return.

Best rental company in Melbourne

I have been using ECCR every time I travel to Melbourne. The experience was always great on the previous occasions and this time was no exception. Staff were friendly and quick and we got our two cars within 20 minutes. As we chose zero liability the staff did not even go through the cars with us and told us to just drive off. Returning was a breeze also. Just handed the keys to a guy after we parked and all good.

East Coast Cars is a great service and I'll use them again.

I've never used East Coast Cars before and so it was a gamble. I couldn't have been happier. From the pick up at the aiport to collection of the car, and then drop off and lift back 6 days later, I couldn't rate it highly enough. We ended up with what I think is a better car than I had booked (Mitsubishi ASX instead of a MG ZS). The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient, with clear communication on how to find the pick up point at the airport and also the drop off procedure. It was a great price for a great service and I will definitely use them again.

Absolutely horrible experience with…

Absolutely horrible experience with these people. Avoid them at all costs before they scam you too. There are a ton of hidden costs and they will drastically overcharge you for any damage they can find. Not only that, but if you have any damage at all you have to pay them $5,500 immediately when you return the car. They don't find out how much any repairs cost, they just charge you $5,500 right away and say that they will refund you the difference if the repairs cost less than that. Don't expect to get much money back if any at all. They obviously hire an associated company that costs way more than it should to repair anything. If I was in America it would've cost me 1/3rd as much to repair at the most. When I communicated to them that the repairs were way more than they should be and that I would be reporting them to my credit card company they maliciously threatened to get money from me by other means. I'm disgusted and urge you to spend your money literally anywhere else. Oh yeah, and they also put a $1,000 hold on your card when you arrive right away too if everything else wasn't enough...

Easier than falling off a log

Super End to End experience. Impressive digital experience making a booking and subsequent change. Handy to ADL Terminal and prompt & friendly transfer. Office experience was a pleasure and young Dan was gold with banter and advice. We were offered a small cost upgrade to a spanking new SUV which make all the kms driven pleasurable. Thanks again to the EC team.

Efficient, Friendly and Value for Money

Every single person I have dealt with at ECCR, from initial contact right through to returning vehicles, in every city I've hired in, has been nothing but friendly and efficient. I now hire from East Car Car Rentals, regardless of whether I notice cheaper prices elsewhere.

East Coast are great to deal with

East Coast are great to deal with. The car was tremendous. The price seemed to be slightly elevated but that may have been Christmas.
