Issues, Complaints and Feedback
Returning Your Car
Start with the branch, then the rental company's customer care team in writing. If you're still not satisfied, email DriveNow customer care and we will ask the rental company to review it.
Who to contact at each stage
- Before your trip: if you have a question or need help finishing your booking, contact the DriveNow team.
- During your hire: for any mechanical or electrical problem with the car, contact the rental company straight away so it can log the issue. The branch contact number is on your rental agreement and may also be on the car keys. If you have an accident, tell the rental company straight away. See vehicle breakdowns and accidents.
- When you return the car: if there is anything you want to discuss, including any charges you're unsure about, talk to the branch team.
Making a complaint after your hire
- Talk to the branch. Raise the problem with the branch team first, ideally when you return the car.
- Put it in writing to the rental company. If the branch can't resolve it, the rental company may ask you to send your concerns in writing to its customer care team for review. For a charge made after your hire, use the contact details on the invoice. See unexpected additional charges.
- Ask DriveNow for a further review. If you are not happy with the outcome, email customercare@drivenow.com.au. We will contact the rental company and ask it to review the matter again.
