Visited East Coast for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $92/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
