Problem to call the shuttle at the aiport

A problem arriving in Darwin airport. You need to call the office to get the shuttle. Problem : when you call with an international number, the office cannot get the call !
Hopefully I had booked via booking.com. I called them and they called Bargain office. And the shuttle arrived...
They have to change that : very stressful.
On another issue : you have to consider they rent quite aged cars (I got a MG HS. Very difficult to use Carplay, compared to a modern Toyota for example).
Anyway, staff is very nice and helful.

When I booked a car on line the fact…

When I booked a car on line the fact that it was not at the airport was not obviously stated, appearing as minor text at the bottom of the page simply saying 'off site'. I would not have booked with Bargain if I had been aware of this. Moreover, when I arrived at airport to find no Bargain kiosk or staff I rang the provided number, ordered a shuttle (dialing 7 from Darwin) but none arrived. I was provided with an automated msg with a map of Melbourne Airport! I rang again and was told as it was Sunday afternoon the office was closed and I would have to pick my car up the following day. I called 3 more times and finally managed to secure a shuttle to pick up my car - 2 hours later! I won't be renting from Bargain again and I will be providing commensurate reviews to TripAdvisor, Google Reviews etc. Also the price was expensive and the staff tried to trick me into purchasing excess insurance telling me that my third party travel insurance was invalid with Bargain. I watched another customer fall for this - it is a scam.

There was an issue with the pick-up at the airport. We were waiting in the wrong spot. However, maybe it was my own fault for not being prepared properly.
Other than that we were very happy about the cost of car hire and the staff. Everyone was friendly and professional. When we needed to change the additional driver, due to an emergency, it was dealt with easily and efficiently. Thank you!

Friendly

Friendly, helpful staff and a vehicle at an affordable price.
Easy access to pick up and drop off without the complexities of the airport made the process a preferable one.
