My experience with East Coast was fabulous. I especially liked the ability to collect the vehicle early in the morning and return it late at night. I will be using your company again and have already been talking about you to other people. Congratulations.
Jo Baker - Scrap of Difference - 18/10/08
[Website] Was very easy and simple to use. All went very smoothly - the collection branch was lovely and new looking. We were really impressed with how easy the whole process was from booking online right through to being dropped back at the airport , and wouldn't hesitate to use you again. Its nice to see great systems in place and I think its great you get feedback afterwards. We will definitely recommend you to all our friends and family. Thanks very much.

The guys at Tugun are great. This is the third or fourth time I have used East Coast so I suppose that is testament in itself.

F & J, Melbourne - 29/10/08
I was extremely impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff I dealt with when hiring our car. We found the whole process very quick and easy with fantastic customer service to top it off! We were very lucky to have our car upgraded, free of charge. The vehicle was immaculate and was a delight to drive for our weeks stay in QLD.
Dianne - 02/11/08

Staff was great at both the Tugun and Brisbane offices.
Bob, NSW - 03/11/08
We have used your service twice now and will continue to do so. We found the staff member assigned to us on arrival (AJ) courteous, informative and very helpful. The female employee who took care of us at drop off and who delivered us to the Coolangatta airport was friendly, courteous and helpful.We were particularly impressed with how quickly we were picked up from Brisbane airport and delivered back to Coolangatta. Well done! When our flight was changed it was a simple phone call to change the drop off point which relieved us greatly. New building on Nudgee Highway very impressive.
David and Julie, Launceston - 29/10/08
The 1st car had a problem with the air conditioning, so we returned it. The staff immediately gave us another car which had excellent AC so we were happy to be accommodated in such a way.
Nancy - 05/11/08
Great easy to understand website.Not confusing at all. The Branch was very clean and the staff at the branch were more than helpful.We had to upgrade our car on arrival due to too much luggage.For a bigger and better car it only cost us and extra $77 for the 14 days we needed it. The mitsubishi outlander we had was extremely economical.We drove from Gold Coast to Byron Bay and back on a quarter of a tank of fuel .I expected to put way more petrol in the car throughout our holiday but in total for 14 days we only had to put in around $140.With this we did quite a bit of travelling also. Staff were great,very efficient.We were an hour late back on return as we got lost in Brisbane.The staff were wonderful about it when i phoned to tell them we would be late and even offered to direct us back to the drop off point. I don't think there is much more more you could do to improve the service. Everyone seemed to be polite and helpful and they all knew what they were doing. Thanks for a great car hire experience.We will definitely return to your company when we return to Brisbane. Thanks.
Bec, Perth, WA - 28/10/08
Very easy to book over the internet. The driver of the transfer shuttle was very friendly, happy to talk to us about the place we were going and where we should go in that region. Very happy with the customer service and the fast airport transfers to and from. Thank you. Thank you to all the staff. Very helpful and informative.
Aussie's from Perth - 02/11/08
Very friendly staff who were a pleasure to deal with. Nice friendly shuttle driver as well! We had a problem with our initial car in that it had a faulty battery cell and was unreliable starting. We were advised to have it checked by the RACQ to eliminate driver error and once this was established the car was exchanged with prompt and friendly service. This is the third year that we have rented from you and have always found you reliable and friendly and would definitely use your company again on our next visit!
Trish, Auckland, NZ - 18/10/08
We did not use the return shuttle as we changed our flight at the last minute and could not wait for the airport shuttle which was 10 minutes away. The staff arranged a taxi for us immediately and we got to our flight on time. Staff were extremely helpful and we will be recommending this East Coast to our friends and family. Hard to improve the already excellent service!!
Kate, Brisbane - 09/11/08
Very happy with the service and the condition of the vehicle. Staff are to be complimented on their courtesy and attention to detail. We will be visiting Cairns several times in the future because we have family there so you may be assured that we will look you up again.
Don, Sydney - 15/10/08
No improvements necessary. We collected our vehicle after hours and were very impressed by the efficiency of this arrangement. Staff always courteous and cars always clean. We refer others to you.
No Name - 06/11/08

Jo, Christchurch, NZ - 01/11/08
Very nice young lady dealt with me.
Steve Woolley - 30/10/08
I dealt with Mark in your Cairns office and found him extremely helpful and courteous. Keep up the good work.
Ross, Brisbane - 31/10/08
The website is very informative and tells you everything you need to know about terms and conditions on how to rent the car. We did ring to confirm availability as well because we booked the car two days before we travelled due to another car rental firm letting us down at the last minute. The car was in excellent condition and we were rapt with it. The air conditioning was excellent and the car was very economical on petrol. We were rapt with the service and the friendliness of the staff especially when we arrived in Brisbane.
Eric and Susan, NZ - 02/11/08
Even though transfer was immediate & brief, a way to improve the service would be to have vehicles ready to collect at the airport itself. Other than that, service was excellent, vehicle was clean, modern, & reliable, and the price very competitive. I have no hesitation in choosing East Coast again or recommending others do likewise.
Gus, Central Coast, NSW - 08/11/08
Friendly receptionist and helpful. The service has been perfect for me. The only concern for me is that I could not collect the car in Valley for early morning or late time on weekend, so i had to collect far in the valley. Anyway, Thank you for such a wonderful service.
Syarif - 15/11/08
some of the required information was a little bit harder to find and didn't go into as much detail as I would have liked but what I didn't get online, the staff there made up for more than enough once I rang. Fantastic staff, very efficient and had all the answers to all of my questions. All understood my situation and walked me through each and every step in a way that was so simple to understand. courteous and extremely knowledgeable staff made this a brilliant and stress free transaction. I personally was not one who picked up the vehicle as I did not travel with my in laws but I did get their feedback and they told me this: professional, on time, friendly and extremely efficient. will definitely return to rent from east coast.
Vanessa, Victoria - 14/11/08
Mark in Cairns went to extremes to assist me, after my concern that the vehicle was not at the Airport, and we had a handicap passenger, He also ensured that his commitment to assist was in place when we arrived and again when we departed.
Peter , Brisbane - 14/11/08
Damien was great!! very professional and courteous. I am sorry but I have forgotten the shuttle driver's name but he was also a pleasure to deal with. We were locals who needed the car as an emergency and these guys made the whole the whole transaction smooth. Thanks.
Dominic & Katrina - 14/11/08
Our booking proved very user friendly. Staff in Brisbane were wonderful, very helpful and friendly - car was great, price good, will definitely use you again.
No Name - 14/11/08
Everything about your company has been great. Prompt pick from the airport, excellent service from Adrian G on the desk, and prompt return to the airport when we were leaving!
Alli - 03/11/08
I was very impressed with the service - my husband is disabled and unable to get on buses so a member of staff drove the rental car to the airport to pick us up and then took us to the collection branch to complete the paperwork.
Karen, Melbourne - 14/11/08
Excellent service & car hire company. Thanks. We will hire with you again as we have family in Cairns and are there frequently. Thanks again.
Phil, Adelaide - 18/11/08
Very simple for me to book a car and the follow up call was great. The driver of the shuttle bus was very friendly & had great customer service skills. We were very happy with all aspects of the service.
Krista, Sydney, AUS - 13/11/08
This is the best car rental company i have ever gone through, i will recommend your services to all my family and friends. great staff!!! Fast, Friendly and efficient!! everything I needed while on holiday. Stay the same and i'll definitely be back.
Mokau Beach - 17/11/08
Pretty hard to beat our overall experience.We were dealt with by great people,with positive and happy attitudes,making us feel very welcome.We WILL recommend East Coast for sure.Best regards and thanks to all.
Lindsay Felton - 17/11/08
Overall I found the staff, service and vehicles to be of a very high standard. Far superior to any other car hire company I have dealt with, and why we used ECCR again.
Matthew - 25/10/08
The bus driver was very friendly & helpful - identifying the correct on-ramps for both Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast as we went thru the relevant intersection. Also gave good advise re the toll harbour bridge. This was very helpful as it was dark and thunderstorms as we drove over it, which was within a few minutes of leaving the depot heading towards Gold Coast. Extra Insurance was well-explained - not too many scare tactics used once your staff member realised I didn't want it and would not be swayed.
Rob, NZ - 15/10/08
The Guys at Nudgee Rd Brisbane were really pleasant and very helpful could not have asked for better service especially the ones on duty the 9th Nov 2008 at approx 11.30 very friendly guys. Will be using you guys in the future if we have the chance.
Colleen, Ulverstone, Tas - 01/11/08

Fast service from friendly staff ... couldn't ask for more. Service was excellent.
Nancy, Melbourne - 10/11/08
All staff great to deal with, all paperwork sorted out before we arrive so collecting the car was fast and easy. We hired a small car which was exactly what we needed. The car was extremely clean a well presented vehicle.
The Main family, NZ - 15/11/08
This is the 2nd time that I have used your company and will do so again if your prices continue to be competitive. I was offered an upgrade the 2nd time which made my decision to go with you again so would expect a similar offer again as a repeat user.
Bob - 08/11/08
The people were very friendly and understanding as I had received minor hail damage to the car. I would definitely use them again.
Olivia, Perth - 14/11/08
This was the second time we have used east coast car rentals , the service was fantastic , thank you.
Melinda, Tas - 05/11/08
My husband and I were very impressed with your friendly, courteous, professional and helpful staff who even went as far as upgrading our car rental to a bigger car and very comfortable and easy to drive. I think renting from you in the future and telling all our friends about your services will be the best we could do to thank you for your hospitality. we were very touched by you offering to take us to the airport it truly is very convenient to hire a car from you we give you 10/10.
Cole, Victoria - 15/11/08
very helpful when we got to the office but my Husband said that perhaps if you could mark the mailbox at the airport where you put the keys clearly it would be easier. The information book you hand with the activities was very helpful to us thank you very much. Everything was explained very well and the young fellow more than helpful and polite. Lovely car and lovely people to deal with would recommend you and use you again. I think that you have a very good package and the price was very good compared to other rental companies keep up the good work.
Marian, Old Bar - 05/11/08
No problems at all with reservation. Very good service offered. Overall the standard of vehicle was very good.
Leo, NZ - 01/11/08
Was impressed with the car and its performance. Was pleased with the pricing. The staff were very good and the transit service was great - the driver went out of his way to be helpful. Overall - was very impressed with everything and would recommend you to others - and WILL.
S Schumacher - 22/11/08
Found the website had all the information i required. Paper work was done nice and quick when i arrived to pick up the vehicle. Vehicle was very tidy.
Rebecca, Brisbane - 21/11/08
I would happily hire again and recommend your company.
David T , Sydney - 12/11/08
One of the main reasons I booked the car through East Coast was the easy, clear online presentation. The gentleman I was dealing with was super-friendly and efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Likewise, the girl who was there to receive the car - was very friendly, no fuss, clearly happy doing her her job. Just keep up what you are doing, continue offering good prices with easy to understand insurance options, friendly and efficient service. We will definitely use your Company again. Thank you very much.
Mark, Gold Coast - 22/11/08
No need to improve. Everything was great. See you next time!
James W, New Zealand - 22/11/08
Really friendly and very helpful. Can't be faulted. Transfer driver was chatty and very friendly. Vehicle was great. Well maintained and provided complete reliability. Great on gas use as well. Really couldn't be better. I'd use your company again.
Steve, NZ - 05/11/08
We were happy with the service received.
Colin, Melbourne - 18/11/08
I had no problems with East Coast Rental, everything went very smoothly, and in comparison to major car rental companies East Coast were allot cheaper. My only comment was that upon collection of the vehicle, fuel was 80% full... Apart from this a great experience and I hope to rent again if I travel back to Cairns.
No Name - 25/11/08
It was the best website which impressed us as all other website's didn't give you all the necessary information required to make the final decision. Or if they did it was hard to find and extremely confusing, however yours was very informative and easy accessible that is why we hired our rental car through you.
Barry, Tasmania - 18/11/08
