We were given a VoxWagon Golf instead of the toyota Yaris. The car was filthy and reeks of cigarette for the whole 24 hours that we had it. There were lots of fluid stains on all the seats too. They shouldn't rent out this car to anyone! It took 30 minutes for Atlas to pick up the phone when we called them from the airport for pick up, which is after 9am, their opening time.
Only issue was trying to call them for pickup, very long time on hold before someone answered. Also some better directions to help find pick up location would be great, eg...brown section opposite hotel is better than bus zone M as i could not find any signs saying bus zone m.
The courtesy bus drivers between the airport were brilliant. Friendly and kind. Staff at the counter were great and efficient. The car was perfect for me at the right price.
I rushed dropping off the key to catch the bus and forgot to mention that the car told me that the key battery needed replacing. I hope someone catches that.
This was my first time with Atlas, I will definitely use this again and recommend it to others.
The pickup location was within walking distance of my accommodation, otherwise it may have been a little challenging to make my way there. The location is quite central and should be convenient for most people staying in Sydney within the tourist districts.
The entertainment system within the car was top-notch, accompanying me throughout my journey and the sound system was great.
The car was in great condition and I was able to cover almost 3000km within 6 days in confort.
“Terrible service by Atlas but can’t exactly know during booking.”
About Atlas:4.0/10
I spent more than 1 hour to wait for pick up by Atlas. The operator asked me to wait for her/his bus in red & finally the operator said the bus was broken down so that pick up was delayed for hour. In the meantime, no alternative arrangement & thus I waited for more than 1 hour at the brown zone outside Tullamarine Airport on 23/9. Terrible service!! Also, none of the staff arrange car checking with me. The operator at the pick up point just gave me the key, in fact the first he gave a wrong key to me, to start my journey. The car was dirty and has scars on front. To protect myself, I took photos before starting the engine. No service at all!!
Atlas counter staff had me sign the wrong rental agreement for the car I was hiring, this lead to me being overcharged when I picked up the car. I then mentioned it when I dropped the car back off and was told that the difference will be refunded onto the credit card that I paid with. This never happened. I went an saw them in person about a month later and mentioned it again. I gave them my credit card details and the gentleman told me he will refund it ASAP. Once again, this didn't happen. Very unreliable.
“terrible counter staff, totally different situation from my booking, refused to give receipt,”
About Atlas:3.7/10
The car i booked was Toyota corolla or similar. When i went to pick up the car, the staff gave me SUV Mitsubishi. I said I never drove big cars, then offer a uncleaned and untidy hatchback. I saw others took Toyota corolla, only not me.
The staffs in Melbourne Atlas are so terrible to serve me, but I’m a milion percent sure I asked the right things, what customers must deserve it.
I asked the receipt for the bond to a guy, he refused. The guy was angry at me and left me alone in the office for a while, everybody watching me, then the manager started looking after me.
The funniest thing is the guy escaped from me When i came back in to the office because I wanted to ask something. Is it possible that staffs act to customers like that.
Also on the receipt for the petrol, there was shown me that I drove 1000km in the day. I’m wondering that’s why they overcharged me about the petrol.
I had been to the office 11am, left 12pm, return the car at5pm. Is it possible I could drive a thousand kilometers in the day.
I had booked this reservation a while back and the office had changed with hours. We weren’t notified and about had a heart attack when our flight landed and when we called to be picked up, they stated it was closed. Luckily, they had our car at the Easy Car Rental next door.
The car also didn’t have working air con. But of a bummer!
The van wasn’t serviced and not fit for renting.
Was advised to take the van back twice by Atlas customer service. The first time was for mechanical errors constantly appearing on the dashboard all the time, but no replacement vehicle was available. The second time, we demanded a replacement as the van wasn’t safe to drive due to a faulty main sliding door that could not be fixed by RACV roadside assist. Both times we were forced to inconveniently alter our travel plans and take very long and precarious drives back to the Atlas depot.
I paid for a 12 seater and ended up with an 8 seater as a replacement.
Atlas customer phone service was unbelievably poor, no one called us back as were told by customer service, apparently because the staff at Tullamarine weren't picking up the phone. My husband made ten different calls to the overseas call centre during a two day period!
