Bargain Car Rentals at Sunshine Coast Airport

Pros: Quick easy process

Cons: The insurance issue listed above

Pros: Very easy to collect and drop off car. Service was very friendly and professional.

Cons: The exterior of the car had a few very small dings but that was not a problem for us at all. Car still ran very good and was more than adequate for our needs.

Cons: Cars should have cruise control an be filled up. Car was dirty on the outside at pickup really hard to tell if there were chips or anything on it

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Support

Pros: Smooth

Cons: MG cars are not my favourite as they are pretty weak but this one was new and in good shape. Very clean. Perfectly adequate for what we needed.

Pros: Easy process. Pick up & drop off

Cons: Pick up was very slow as people hadn’t checked in online which was frustrating when I had. I didn’t like the blinkers & wipers being on the opposite side. Turning circle for a small car was terrible. The car needed new wipers & had a shudder. Breaks grabbed.

Pros: It was a clean, clear and quick process. The car was super new, clean and the price was extremely competitive against other rentals.

Cons: The terms and conditions around full tank and the fees associated if its not all the way full feels a little over the top.

Pros: Car was presented well

Cons: MG5 had tyre pressure gauge fault that kept beeping each drive and asking to check manual

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Head office take a long time to answer and when they did eventually they hanged up on my on purpose.

Pros: Really good spec car for long rental, good value for money

Cons: The only thing I didn't like was the extra sales pitch for additional insurance on pick up. I already had really good cover and a very slight fear tactic for hail damage which was astronomical was offer. While I understand it's good to let people know at the time I felt under pressure. But that is the only thing. Over all really happy with service and car

Pros: The lady behind the desk was very helpful and quick at getting people through!

Cons: The car was dirty when I received it, covered in grime and bugs and marks inside the car.

Pros: Everything was satisfactory

Cons: Nil

Pros: It was a quick and easy process

Cons: The only thing that we did not like is that you do not provide free road side assist. Your cars should be reliable and if something should go wrong with them it’s should be on you.

Pros: Front tyres were bald

Pros: Was very quick pickup

Cons: N/A

Pros: Friendly and pleasant

Cons: Busy day, more staff might speed things up

Pros: The car had a full tank, aircon and drive well.

Cons: The car was not prepared to go for next driver, still used by previous client, not wiped, cleaned, disinfected or washed… small roaches on opening door first time.

Pros: Easy to get to from the airport

Cons: App hard to use

Pros: The whole process was smooth and effective

Cons: Expected an MG and was given a Suzuki which i think is a bit smaller

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They charged me extra for insurance and the car was terrible. Couldn't get the speed up to 10p on the freeway. Could barely make it up hills.

Pros: The car i recieved was brand new. Even had the new car smell. Great choice

Cons: Nothing that I didnt like about anything

Pros: a reliable car for the 6 usable hours i had in Noosa. including an important meeting i had difficulty in getting to on-time

Cons: clean. presentable yes but when the car breaks down this becomes insignificant

Pros: Value for money Helpfull staff

Cons: that this is the 4th survey you sent me for the same booking.

Cons: The admin fee for not filling up with petrol.

Cons: Would not check vehicle on drop off and I have not recieved an email confirming vehicle was returned in good condition.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff

Cons: Very basic car which had door locking problems.

Pros: The girl who helped me check in/pick up the car was amazing! She was genuinely friendly, helpful, kind and efficient. I didn't catch her name but she had tattoos on her left arm and lovely eyelashes - tell her she's doing a good job!

Cons: For drop off of vehicle: if you only have one server on, either have a key box available or have the staff member ask if anyone just needs to drop off keys to avoid people (like me) waiting for 15 minutes while they go through each step of the check in when all I had to do was drop keys.

Pros: Good pricing compared to other companies

Cons: If you say your opening office hours are 7am, actually be there and not leave counter unmanned.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful with pick up and return

Pros: Excellent

Cons: All good

Pros: Best staff at airport car rentals counter Clean and crisp communication

Cons: Nothing, it’s hassle free best service as expected at airports

Pros: The car was perfect

Cons: That they were not helpful when it came to your quote even after showing them your email with all your details

Pros: The service provided was as expected

Cons: The queue at the airport for a car was annoying and the staff who would have obviously rather have been elsewhere. There was one person assisting clients and 5 people queuing. Not the case with the other companies.

Pros: not happy booked through 3rd party

Pros: Easy web site to follow

Cons: Explaining the option of where the holding deposit was coming from from ,

Cons: Pushy person at desk. I ordered a Hyundai and they were only willing to give me an MG

Pros: Once we made it through the queue to the desk all was smooth.

Cons: We should have been processed faster if the car was pre-booked & car we ordered should have been reserved as we booked well in advance, but i know there was no guarantee of that. When i rang them to make enquiries, they said it would be very unlikely 90% to get advertised model of car. Maybe they shouldn't advertise what they can't provide. Maybe others in the queue had also pre-booked i dont know, or did they just turn up & hope to get one.

Pros: When we picked up the car the following messages were displayed Service overdue Rear tyre pressure low.

Cons: The agent at the pickup counter was more interested in selling insurance. She also downplayed the insurance that we already had with Discover Australia. Basically she was saying that the insurance that we already purchased would not cover a total write off etc.

Pros: Key drop off box and was 'cheap'

Cons: They say you get what you pay for... I should have paid a little more. Pickup too ages. I did the online checkin and I still had to wait almost 30 mins to pickup the car. The car itself was super underpowered and the brakes were super sensitive, not a very comfortable car to drive at all The lady at the desk was trying to guilt me into the extra insurance that was almost the cost of the booking. Saying the insurance with discover cars doesn't cover a lot and I would still have to pay excess.

Pros: Waiting for me after hours

Pros: Ease to collect

Cons: Drop off very slow. Only one person in counter took 20 mins to return the vehicle , keys and finalise paperwork.

Pros: Staff were great

Cons: Their fleet of vehicles appears to be mainly MG - which are cheap & nasty.

Pros: Good price but fleet quality is disappointing. MG!!

Cons: Took way too long in a queue to collect the car. If you've done the online checkin you should not have to wait behind others who didn't bother

Pros: most courteous

Cons: on leaving ,car didnt get checked ,hope this can be rectified .Thank You

Pros: Easy pick up and drop off, excellent price and great car!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Ended up with a 2020 Suzuki baleno .only had mg3 which I have hired before and there no good on fuel or going up hills.

Pros: Excellent friendly staff

Pros: Quick pickup and drop off.

Cons: I had already bought car insurance from Discover car. Bargain car rentals were trying hard to sell me another insurance on top of car insurance already bought. I declined and was given a crappy car. Discover and Bargain needs to sort out the insurance tie up and not compete with each other.

Pros: I truly hope you go out of business

Pros: Suitable car with economical performance MG5

Cons: -

Pros: Friendly service. Easy pickup.

Cons: The car had an engine issue so I had to bring it back to swap cars. They were very accommodating and apologized for the issue so the changeover was quick, no complaints about the service just about the cars having a big issue.

Pros: price was great

Cons: nothing

Cons: was told I can drop the car off early and then get a refund/ use the remaining days later on- now I find out this isn't possible- waste of money.

Pros: Agent on pick up was great.

Cons: Agent on drop off needs to learn customer service. Very rude. Fuel gauge was full on pick up after driving 12km down the road the fuel gauge dropped to nearly half tank. I told the girl when I dropped it off and showed her photos but she was not interested. Unprofessional.

Pros: The enthusiasm and friendliness staff member Kadie.

Cons: The bloke in front of me was not hiring but asking pedantic questions holding us all up. Your staff were very tolerant and provided excellent service to him, even though he did not deserve it.

Pros: Needed new wipers otherwise great car clean tidy

Pros: Service as advertised

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Speed

Cons: Car had damaged no wiper blades, making it very difficult to see whilst raining

Pros: Ease of pick up

Cons: Staff on drop off were not interested in my complaint about condition of car on pick up and things needed to be done we found out once we started driving over a couple of days. Petrol was not 100% full we discovered 5 minutes from leaving airport as it lost a light on the fuel gauge. Did bring this up and all she snapped sarcastically was “did I take a photo?” No honey, I was on the freeway, I didn’t take a photo. The customer service and attitude on drop off from both girls was disgusting

Pros: Excellent service

Pros: Friendly staff

Pros: see above comments

Pros: Easy to drop off the vehicle

Cons: Bit slow for check in

Pros: Nothing! I opted for a Kia Stonic and was given a MG ZS. MG would be the last brand of cars I will ever prefer. If I had to get an MG, it would have been through a different agency at a much cheaper rate.

Cons: Do not show the cars which you don’t have an availability on. I was deceived by showing a Kia Stonic which costed more than a MG ZS and ultimately given a MG ZS. I should say I was SCAMMED.

Pros: Staff could not be more professional and helpful

Cons: Vehicle itself - next time I would like option what type of vehicle - never again an MG

Pros: First car I was assigned was an absolute lemon!!! Brakes metal to metal and had barely any acceleration. Called for 2 days with no call back or anyone answering to swap over. I had to drive back to arrange, very poor!

Pros: Good location at Maroochydore, staff are always really friendly and helpful, cars are easy to find and in great condition.

Cons: It takes a long time to get thru the queue to pick up car. The counter is very small so not a lot can be done I’m guessing.

Pros: easy to book good value

Pros: Argued about extra insurance told well you should have booked direct. Car had marks dents all over, sand on front seat.

Cons: Very disappointed. When we made a fuss about already paying extra insurance they dismissed us as being difficult. We’re going to show us to car but then just handed us the key.

Pros: understanding, full well knowing of what your policy is

Cons: unable to reverse your sniky arrangement with the insurance which is very important, never again will I rent a vehicle from you and will advise my friends of what happened. I have rented cars and trucks over the past 30 odd years and have never encounted a scam like this. Not Happy.
