Reliable car with good service at Bargain

I normally use the more internationally known car rental companies in Australia but in the Northern Territory, their prices were just not competitive at all. I read good reviews about Bargain and decided to give it a try.

Was not disappointed with the service. Due to a change of plans, I contacted the rental in the morning and was able to get the car in the evening instead of the next day. There was also no hard selling on extra insurance coverage, which I appreciate. The car return process was also a breeze.

Car was also relatively new, with 14,000+ km on the odometer. Thus a very comfortable and smooth ride.

Would not hesitate to use this company for my future Australian road trips.

well priced car hire for Darwin

The car was perfect for two people to visit and tour Darwin and surrounds. I arrived a little later than anticipated to pick up the car, however it wasn't on site and had to wait at least 15 minutes for it to be delivered. The car could have been a little cleaner - the windscreen was very hard to see out of due to the film on the inside. Overall the car performed well with no mechanical issues. The hire price was very competitive and would book through them again

We waited roughly 1hr for our car to be prepared. The reason given was that the car we were supposed to get was given to someone else before we got to the Darwin city office. The car we eventually received was great. Nice, new very clean and neat. As flights are odd time we dropped the car off at the office close to the airport. We didn't receive any lock box codes to drop the keys off. I worked out a code using the worn buttons on the lock box. Fortunately I got it right.

The female staff member was rude and unhelpful on two occasions. Their customer service was atrocious.
When I returned the car, a different person was there and they were much friendlier.

Reply from Bargain Car Rentals Australia - Darwin City

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience with a rude and unhelpful staff member; this behaviour is unacceptable. We are glad to hear that a different team member was much friendlier upon your return, but that does not excuse the poor service you received.

Please contact us at info@bargaincarrentals.com.au with your booking details so we can investigate this further.

BARGAIN IS BEST

During our Darwin holiday we twice rented cars from Bargain. The rates we really competitive and the cars, one large SUV and one small SUV were presented in excellent condition and great to drive. Pick and return arrangements really easy and staff very friendly and most helpful
