Outstanding service and really friendly staff who were a pleasure to deal with. Our car was clean, fuel efficient, and amazingly cheap for the quality received. Your service has far outweighed anything we've had before from a car hire company - and we've hired plenty!
V Wilson, NZ - 12/11/08
Zarni,Jason and Mandy were all very friendly and helpful.
Nick, Brisbane - 28/11/08
Booking through the website offers the best rates. I did not arrive at the appointed time as there were severe thunderstorms in and around Brisbane on my arrival. However East Coast had reserved my vehicle and unknown to me it was at a location opposite the depot. I will known next time. The pick up went smoothly. A excellent vehicle. I would chose the same again next time. As I was the only one there at the time of the return, not much could go wrong. But the service was great.
Patto from the Jungles of PNG - 25/11/08
I real don't think you need to improve, The gentleman who we dealt with was just exceptional for the whole way from pick up at the airport to the return trip. I couldn't of asked for any better service. Thanks for making that part of the holiday hassle free.

Nathan, Victoria - 17/11/08
It would help if the person driving the transfer bus was to introduce themselves as it is nice to have a name of someone you are getting into a car with especially with kids. Other than that the service and staff were excellent, will definitely use again. Thanks for a great first time experience in QLD.
Pratt, WA - 11/11/08
Thank you to all staff members for your efficient and very friendly service especially Mark and Driver who tried their utmost to get me to the airport in time.

Helen, NSW - 04/12/08
The sales people from Cairns were so friendly and helpful. The whole service was EXCELLENT. I certainly will be referring people from work to use East coast Car rentals, when travelling to 1 of the destinations where the rental is available. I certainly will use the company again next year when we go to Brisbane My 6yr old grandson Troy said of our Chauffeur to and from the airport, "he is a happy chappy Nan isn't he". Thank you once again for excellent service and keep up the good work.
Joanne, Queanbeyan, NSW - 27/11/08
I think his name was Mark, really nice guy and down to earth and told you things in a easy manner, eg GPS, how to get to Gateway motorway etc. Great service and great wee car. Only problem I had was getting in wrong land on toll bridge at Gateway, maybe this need to be advised to people upon arrival??, Will use you again when over again next year.
Bryan, New Zealand - 23/11/08
Excellent service. Mini van was better than expected. Will use your company again.

Vincent Low, Singapore - 29/11/08
I have used many car hire company, but after hiring with your company I was pleasantly surprised to receive such a friendly and efficient standard of customer service which is very really seen. I would like to thank all your staff for their friendly and very excellent service. I would also like to say I'm very impressed with the range and very high standard in which your vehicles are maintained. With your very competitive rates I will recommend you to all. Thanks once again to all your staff.
Janet - 29/11/08
Got quotes from a few competitors, yours was the easiest website to use and had all options like insurance. Liked that the staff came out and checked the car so we knew nothing would appear on our visa once we'd left, so many other companies just take the car and don't do the check.
Mike, Christchurch - 29/11/08
Thanks for the great service! AJ was very friendly and helpful when we checked in. We will be recommending East Coast to friends and family!
Darren, Perth, WA - 03/12/08

H Bessenyei, Copacabana, NSW - 05/12/08
Anne collected us from the airport, we found her to be really friendly and great with our kids. While we were waiting, Anne chatted to us and the kids to keep them entertained, I feel that this member of your staff is a very valuable one, we wish you all a Merry Christmas.
Russells, Melbourne - 03/12/08
GPS unit really helped finding our way around Brisbane, the Gold Coast and a trip to Australia Zoo. Much better than relying on street directories. Great rental rate and good vehicles combined with excellent service. What more could you ask for.
Ian - 02/12/08
The service was great, just ensure you maintain your standards as we will be back, and we have recommended you to our friends.
Gordon, NZ - 01/12/08
Main reason for choosing East coast is because we could not hire a car under a P license anywhere else. However we are very satisfied with the car and service.
Sarin, Melbourne - 07/12/08
The chap who delivered and returned the vehicle, remembered my name, was very polite and efficient, same for the shuttle driver, thanks for everything.
Neil, Aust - 09/12/08
It was all good .. no complaints, suggest a pamphlet map of streets around your drop off sites to carry in car ... might have saved a couple minutes more in drop off time. Otherwise, thanks.
Susie - 07/12/08
Very helpful at such short notice, thank you so much.
Wilson, NZ/Aus - 08/12/08
Great service - no prob - no need to improve - will return.
A & J Digby, Melb - 09/12/08

David. B - 29/11/08
Couldn't have been easier or more efficient. I found the entire experience with your company very impressive, everything was made simple and clear. I extended hire and that too was a very easy transaction. I was very impressed. All this and also a great deal cheaper than the competition. Took all of 7 minutes to return the vehicle and sign off so efficient.
Julie - Bali - 02/12/08

B Citizen NZ - 09/12/08
Everything was excellent. Can't think of anything that could have been done better.
Neil, Melbourne - 13/12/08
The wait for the shuttle bus was a bit longer than anticipated but the young fellow driving the vehicle was well presented, very helpful and a good representative of your Co.
Lee of Perth - 10/12/08
The staff of the shuttle bus were very helpful, friendly and hospitable - made a welcoming & pleasant departure as visitors to Cairns. Their customer service had definitely left a positive lasting image in our travels so far.
Bernie, Melbourne - 08/12/08
I will definitely come back to east coast car rental the next time i come to brisbane as the rate is reasonable and the pick up and return at different location with no charges involved is excellent.

It would be difficult to improve an almost flawless rental.

Ravichandran - 07/11/08
Your website provided all the information I needed to feel confident about renting a car from you. It was detailed yet not overwhelming providing the information clearly. You couldn't ask for better service than was provided. It was fantastic in all aspects. The people who served at the desk and also a special mention of the great shuttle driver. I will never rent from anyone else on the Gold coast now that I have tasted the best. I would happily recommend your service.
W van Vliet, NSW - 13/12/08
We found the groomer Matt very helpful he was very informative. The staff were very helpful and gave us excellent directions how to get to Brisbane airport from Surfers Paradise.
M.D, N.Z - 09/12/08
We would definitely go with East Coast rentals again. There was no hassle at all. We asked for what we wanted and East Coast delivered even at short notice. Thanks Guys would definitely pass the message on. Till next time have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
Kiwi Bro, Brisbane - 19/12/08
All was good - very flexible staff - would definitely use again.
Shane - 19/12/08
Your Website is user friendly and contains all necessary information. No hassle collection of the vehicle. Friendly staff. I drove a Toyota Yaris which a very reliable vehicle and light on fuel usage and spacious inside. Everything went smooth and did not waste anytime with the transfer back to the Airport.
Bernie, Melbourne - 16/12/08
Thanks for excellent processing!
Luke - 20/12/08
We always have a great experience renting from you :-) The car could have been dusted on the inside, other than that, we have been renting cars from you even when we lived in New Zealand with my dad (Selwyn Beazley) for the last 7 or 8 years. We wouldn't keep coming back if you were crap! :-) Merry Christmas, thank you.
Mr/Mrs Sunderland, BNE - 24/12/08
Really happy with the whole process of the rental and think it was a really smooth transaction. Will definitely make use of your company again.
Chevron Crew 2008 - 19/12/08
Staff were great and helpful. Only thing I can say is I would have liked to get going on my holiday faster but there was no delay from the staff. Best walk around I have ever had when collecting the vehicle. Only walk around I have ever had. This has been a very good experience.
Ian English - 22/12/08
No need for improvement.
Bob, Melbourne - 02/12/08
Thank you to Zanni (Brisbane) for organising everything with my pickup and stop over for my dog bruiser. This took allot of stress from me. Thanks again.
Jennifer and Andrew, Gold Coast - 15/12/08
Every way in every aspect perfect as usual....that's why I have keep using for 15 years!! The lady from England was very friendly & efficient.
Faye. F - 13/12/08
Was really happy with the service, check in - check-out etc. Staff are excellent and will definitely use East Coast again. The service I got from Zarni from the fortitude valley office was exceptional - thanks heaps. As far as I'm concerned all is perfect - had such a good experience - no mucking around - was in and out in no time at all - keep up the great service.
J. Crawford, QLD - 22/12/08
I have no issues with the system as it is. Everything was well thought out - especially as we had to change plans at the last minute due to flight cancellation and reschedule on the day of expected vehicle pickup, and arrange an after hours security pick up at the airport car park. This was done over the phone from Sydney airport and the paperwork left in the vehicle for me to sign and post back to the office. Very simple, very convenient and very efficient. Without it, we would have arrived in Cairns at midnight with no means of getting to our destination in Port Douglas. We were very impressed with your company's assistance, helpfulness and efficiency. We will certainly use East Coast Car Rentals in the future.
Frank, Sydney - 11/12/08
My son and I were driven to our accommodation by AJ who was friendly and helpful. I really appreciated this and it made a great end to our holiday.
No Name - 19/12/08
A very pleasant experience compared to A***[name removed] who continually rang requesting a deposit after I booked over the internet, no where on their site it said I had to pay a $50 deposit - as I don't like sneaky tactics I cancelled my booking with A*** and happily found East Coast Rentals - Thank you ! Once I booked on the East Coast Internet site I rang with a follow up and the telephone staff were very nice.
