Hello #Melbourne! I’m in you from today through around noon on the 17th! Will be bouncing around the CBD and likely hitting up the ACMI today, so if you want to hang, hit me up!
(I’m also much easier to reach on other platforms, esp LinkedIn or Bluesky)
#gameDev
And the winner is *drumroll*
@Nationcares! (I’ll be honest they were the front runner: customer service is one of their top priorities!)
Your prize: my business for the day!
Huge props to Christina and great job selling me on Emerald Club. Will be signing up today.
ALT Christina at the desk
ALT Welcome to my car!
Alright @SixtCar, got stuck at LAX an extra day so I’m giving you a go. Here’s my running feedback thread:
• Your mobile app is very slick
• Mobile check in isn’t that convenient; too many steps. Just gonna do it at the counter
National’s staff welcomed me at the center, so they’re the first ones who get to try for my business today. (And @nationalcares, I know how big you are on customer service, so unless their inventory is pegged, congratulations!)
Thanks Jocelyn (sic) for the welcome!
Well that didn’t work! Reservation cancelled for now, will try again someday!
Alamo, National, Enterprise! Gonna test your front desk “need a car today”.
Also Edmond (Bus #64) is an AMAZING advocate for you three. (And @flyLAXairport he’s giving us a mini tour on the way)

@SixtCar Alright guys. I’ll bite. You’ve got the advertising everywhere, you’ve got the sexy lighting at your counters. Clearly you’re splashing for razzle dazzle.
I’m a Hertz President’s club member. National is my go to for quick turnaround. Sell me on taking you for a spin🤣
