Was so pleasantly surprised to get a free upgrade to a Toyota Camry from an MG5 at the price point I paid, that was well maintained and gave me the comfortable ride I had through more rural roads :)

Big thank you to Bianca for going above and beyond to help return a bag which we left behind at the airport. Found her to be very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Thanks again. Jimmy

I would give this company zero stars if I could.
When I first picked up the car, after only 5 minutes of driving, the low tyre pressure warning came on. I returned immediately and asked for a safe car because I had a child with me. They eventually changed the car.
The bigger problem was returning it. Nobody told me the office opening hours, and the employee told me I could return the car before 11:30. My flight was at 5:30 AM, so I went to return the car, only to find the office closed.
Because of this, I had to book a new flight and pay an extra $376, making the total $664, plus a hotel because the next flight was at 9 PM.I paid 190$
Very poor communication, old cars and terrible service. I absolutely do not recommend this company.

Pleasantly surprised big time.
Genuine and helpful service person…I think Rhiannon was her name?
Nothing was too much trouble and she upgraded me which was a wonderful surprise.

We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the upgrade and that the vehicle provided such a comfortable ride on your journey!
Good cars, good price.
The car and service during collection and return was great. We didn't realise that the depot was not actually on the airport site, and required us to get a shuttle bus, which was about a 15 min ride. May be it was us who didn't read the instructions properly. A map showing how to get to the shuttle buses, would have been useful (if there is one we didn't see it). There are signs for the shuttle from the airport, but after 23 hours of flight, the brain doesn't work too well. Nice friendly and helpful people at Bargain Car Rentals, we would use again.

Thank you for posting your feedback!
While we do list our depot locations and how to get to us on our confirmations and website it is understandable that after a flight that long there would be some fatigue setting in.
I am glad to hear you got to us to collect your vehicle and that the rest of your booking went smoothly!

All of our vehicles are inspected before each booking, but sometimes things do slip through, we do apologise that it sounds like this may have been the case with your rental.
With any of our bookings if an issue arises at collection or during your rental we do recommend you have a chat with the depot staff or give us a call to be provided with a solution or swap into a fresh vehicle.
