The cleaning staff at the Brisbane office do a very good job - the asian looking gentleman was very helpfull and extremely throrough in filling in the condition report - he was excellent ... special thanks to him.

Nadine, Hamburg, Germany - 14/01/09
I found the website easy to use and easily found all the information I needed. Staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I found the service provided was above expectations and could not fault it in anyway.
Lyn, Geraldton, Western Australia - 17/01/09
Initially we were worried once we realized that the office was not at the airport. however, the transfer was VERY efficent and prompt! The staff were very helpful and friendly and the car was good too. Great service at a good price! we were very happy. Thank you!
Maria & Michael, Melbourne - 05/01/09
Very quick and easy with express check in. Great wee car, just what I required. Absolutely awesome! I can't express how fabulous the friendly staff and service was at the Brisbane Airport branch of East coast Rentals. The team went out of their way to accommodate me. It was easy to find and a petrol station was very close by. Highly recommended to all. AA++. Well done! Special thanks to James the driver and the blond lady at the office. Your service was outstanding. Cheers
Christina, Wellington - 04/02/09
The branch decor in Cairns is looking a bit tired, but for me that is not an issue as the friendliness of the staff more than made up for it. All in all I found rental from East Coast Car Rentals excellent, very good prices and fabulous friendly staff. I wouldn't hesitate to use you again and also would recommend you to fellow travellers wishing to hire a car. Discounts for regular users would be a good idea, I myself have hired a car in Cairns 3 times in less than a year, and will probably be doing so again later this year. Airport pickup at no extra cost is always handy but then you dont have as much contact with your lovely staff.
Mary, Brisbane - 31/01/09
The rates were the cheapest that I found and the service and staff were couteous and friendly and most helpful. I would use East Coast again when i travel to the Gold Coast and recommend to friends and family.
J G Sydney - 04/02/09
Thanks for all the help when we needed to extend our rental due to flight cancellations. We appreciate everything the staff did to make our experience easy. Love the new Hendra office, very clean and well presented. We were completely happy with the returns staff at the hendra office, was very quick and friendly service.

We found out about your company through the advert in the NT News newspaper. It was just a small ad in the classifieds but it got our attention. Cannot fault anything to do with your company. We will definately use your rental service in the future. Thank you for your excellent service.
Sheryn & Mark, Darwin NT - 12/02/09
Your staff member (girl from England) was very helpful, even suggesting places we might like to visit and showing us destinations on the map. She was very patient, even when we were dithering over who would be the official driver, whose credit card we would use, etc - really appreciated that you drove us to and from the airport.
Maureen, Gold Coast - 12/02/09
Mark was absolutely superb in every way - nothing too much trouble. I had lost my wallet on the plane flight up from Adelaide, and Mark was a calming influence and attended to our immediate needs, following up Jetstar Lost Property, and driving us into the City Centre for a meal, etc.
Trevor, Adelaide - 11/02/09
Its always a pleasure to rent from East Coast.
M/M Sunderland, BNE - 15/02/09

Brad Cummins - 11/02/09
I found my experience with east coast excellent great prices very helpful staff and very happy with toyota corolla we were given. I would definately use east coast again and recommend you to other people.
Customer, NSW - 15/11/08
I viewed your website at the airport whilst waiting to board and then made a reservation by phone as i needed to know immediately that i had a confirmed booking. This was done very quickly and efficiently by a female staff member. A nice friendly voice at the other end of the phone. I felt confident that there would be no problems when we arrived in Brisbane. were attended to by AJ? He was friendly and provided an excellent service. A real asset to your company!! Very pleased with the vehicle supplied. Returned the car at 7am and again met by two friendly, helpful staff members. Keep on keeping on, you're providing a great service!
Don, Dunedin, NZ - 29/01/09
AJ (Adrian) was amazing, I was greeted in the driveway with a friendly smile and a welcoming "Good Afternoon John". Such a totally different scenario than I was expecting and had experienced with other companies in the past, I was ready for attitude for being 30 minutes late. Instead he happily checked the car, chatted and allowed me to use the bathroom facilities whilst he finalised the paperwork. The driver was also a very friendly guy willing to chat with the passengers instead of sitting silently in the front of the bus. All in all, I feel the staff that I encountered do your company proud and did so at the end of a probably long day for them (5.30pm). Congrats to them and to the person who employed them as they certainly made a great choice.
John, Sydney - 16/02/09
Great service by the at Surfers Paradise, we even got a ride back to our apartment at Broadbeach which we really appreciated! Definitely passing your name on to family and friends travelling to Oz :) Lovely new premises, staff could've been a bit friendlier, noticed they were answering the phone whilst serving clients collecting vehicles. Car was great, really economical! The company is great and we'll be using you guys again :)
Nicky, NZ - 16/02/09
Both staff members on collection were brilliant. Very friendly and easy going. Extremely helpful. Very comfortable and tidy vehicle. Made the whole trip really enjoyable. Would definitely rent again. Everyone was extremely helpful and professional. They made the whole process very pleasant. found the service fantastic and will definitely use you again. We are going to rent once a month to do family trips and will be coming back to your renatl venue. I will definitely refer you to my family and friends when visiting from NZ. I have family coming in April amd May so they will definitely be booking with you.
H Baker, Brisbane - 05/02/09
East Coast handled everything very efficiently, and your Brisbane office were great. Great people to deal with. Enjoyed driving this vehicle. Will use east coast again. Everything was excellent.
Dianne Pt Broughton, SA - 06/02/09
No need to improve. We were happy with the great service and friendly staff. They were also very helpful in recommending places of interest to visit while in cairns. We would definitely use EASTCOAST again, even at other location on the coast.
Kylie - 11/02/09
The shuttle arrived very quickly and the staff were extremely friendly. The vehicle was excellent but once we arrived at our accomodation we noticed the baby seat we hired was quite dirty & smelly. This was not a problem as we simply washed the baby seat cover & it was as good as new. The whole return process was extremely fast & simple.
Brodie, Adelaide, SA - 05/02/09
The courtesy driver had a great sense of humour / manner and I consider an asset in promoting the East Coast rental name as a first contact person.
Nann and Malcolm - 05/02/09
Everything was great, Friendly service the Tarago was great to move about, great information from staff and they didn't push anything extra that we didn't need.
A. Pringley - 12/02/09
This is the 4th time I've hired cars from your company so I know my way around your website pretty well. Mark and Ben were both very professional and obviously knew exactly what they were doing yet retained a relaxed, friendliness of manner that was very welcoming. I was dropped off at my hotel after returning the vehicle. There was absolutely no waiting time and the driver was very friendly.
Mozz, Adelaide - 19/02/09

John from Grenfell - 18/02/09
I called an hour prior to collection to book, everything was done and dusted and I was ready to go, very efficient! Once again, booking and collection without a hitch! Zarni was as helpful as ever, had everything sorted and ready to go- thank you vey much once again!
Nick, Brisbane - 22/02/09

Paul, Geelong - 21/02/09
Everyone we dealt with were extremely helpful and welcoming.
Anne, NZ - 13/02/09
I booked them over the phone. The reservation staff were great. The transfer shuttle was great, we didnt have to wait very long at all. Was great to hire a near new vehicle especially with a/c. Once again service was very prompt and was excellent. There is nothing that needs to be changed at all. Everthing was great. The overall experience and service was excellent, and would definitely hire from here again on our next trip to the Gold Coast.
Tania R - 20/02/09
Your Cairns staff are fantastic, great service, always smiling and informative ... gold award to them.!! I am now converted to you guys, never again shall i use A**S..!
Steven from Virgin Blue Airlines - 21/02/09
We actually arrived half an hour late and were becoming increasingly concerned about missing our flight. We were appreciative of the driver's efforts to get us to the airport quickly.
Jason from Melbourne - 19/02/09
Reception staff were great and easy to get along with. No improvements needed. All I was worried about was reliability and our shuttle pick-up and both those bases were covered so thaks alot.
Mr and Mrs Taki, Sydney - 12/02/09
Staff called as I had double booked. I appreciated the call, the lady was very friendly.
No name - 17/02/09
There is no need for improvement We found your company very good value for dollars and won't hesitate to recommend to any friends travelling.(we were told that you supply car that were not in good condition, but this is just not true. We were very happy with everything) I will be using your company again every time we travel.
Andrew, South Australia - 17/02/09
The gentleman who checked me in was quite ill ( the driver told me this ) but I would never have known. He was friendly, efficient and had an excellent sense of humour ( rare these days in customer service ) All round excellent experience. Thanks so much. will definately recommend to friends and family.
Chrissy - Mackay, Qld - 23/02/09
In particular I would like to acknowledge that the Service we received from AJ was outstanding. He attended to us with competence, efficiency, and has an excellent manner. He is a credit to your organisation. We will certainly be using your Company again if this is the standard of service we will receive.
D, NSW - 22/02/09
I was more than happy with the service and the frindliness of the staff at Hendra. They were great and if I need a car in the future I will certainly be using East Coast again.
Robert Roose - 01/02/09
Thank uou. See you next time. No real need for improvement, every aspect very professional.
Donna, Cairns - 20/02/09
The staff and cars in Brisbane were extremely good, we had no problems whatsoever with either the car or staff. No problems whatsoever with the car, either with performance or cleanliness. Very professional outfit. We only hired the vehicle for 2 days whilst we stayed in Brisbane but would recommend East Coast Car Rentals. Can one improve on perfection?
