A couple of suggestions for improvement: 1. Update information regularly, as available car models change regularly (cars are only kept for about 6-12 months by the big guys), depending on what deals the car companies offer and new models/models being discontinued. E.g. Mitsubishi 380's are no longer in hire fleets and have not for about 12 months (Replaced by Ford Falcons); Wagons are now primarily Holden Commodore Sportwagons (Avis, Budget, Hertz), Some Ford Falcons (Europcar, although I don't believe they use them anymore either) & Toyota Klugers (Europcar & Hertz); Avis & Budget now use Hyundai I-max as people movers. 2. It would be useful to note that all cars from the big guys have air conditioning and almost all are automatic, except Economy class HyundaI Getz, which are manual and Compact class Toyota Corollas (Hertz only). 3. Expand category descriptions - the above categories are only about half of the available categories. <div class="commentreply">Reply: Thanks Adam!
