Whole experience was just a bit odd. Was determined not to let the Easter weekend start on a bad note.
Staff in CNS were pretty amazing given what had happened. Apparently someone from H.O. cancelled one of my bookings at CNS because the car was unavailable, without contacting me (booking was at 4pm, and they cancelled on the day at 827am, according to the office). So when I got there, they only had 1/2 bookings, and were struggling to find a new car given it was Easter break. Thankfully they found one (Colorado). Pretty shocking behaviour from HQ.
As for the Pajero, I commented about it and wanting the SV6 instead. They said they didn't have any other cars available (which kinda holds up with the above statement). Was going to visit the Daintree forest, and after doing so today, I'm actually honestly kinda glad I didn't push back again on the Pajero. Would've liked the SV6, but another time. They did acknowledge there was a difference in cars though, unlike Thrifty in ADL.
Rented a XR6 from them, and they told me that a Toyota Kluger was the same because it had 6 cylinders. Never again.
