Which car rental companies are the most reliable at Sydney Airport? There seem to be big differences in deposits, fuel policies, and service quality between brands, so I’m trying to figure out which ones are consistently trustworthy.

Watch out for the premium location fee, a short trip to another locale in the burbs can reduce this by 25% or more

"big differences in ..... service quality between brands" -- How have you measured- quantified that statement?

I’ve rented at Sydney Airport a few times, and my experience has been that the big names (Hertz, Avis, Budget) are the most predictable when it comes to deposits and fuel rules, but they’re usually more expensive. The mid-tier companies like Jucy or Apex can be good value, but the condition of the cars varies a bit more.

On one trip I booked through Vipcars mainly to compare prices across multiple companies in one place, and it helped me get a better overview of the policies. I still ended up choosing Hertz in the end, but using their platform made the differences between providers a lot clearer.
