Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Overall experience was great and hassle-free. Although there was a 30-minute delay during pickup, the front desk staff member was extremely helpful and provided all the support possible on the day.

Extremely poor customer experience managed by an incompetent team, the rudeness I heard and witnessed by 3 seperate employees to 3 seperate customers was disgraceful, its certainly embedded in the culture at the Melbourne Office , I will never choose Bargain Car Rentals as a supplier again

Excellent Service and Well-Maintained Vehicle

I recently rented a car for two days, and overall, it was a really smooth experience. The booking process was straightforward, and the staff at the counter were friendly and efficient. I didn’t have to wait long to pick up the car.

The vehicle itself was clean, well-maintained, and exactly what I had booked. It drove comfortably and had good fuel efficiency, which helped save on costs during my trip. Returning the car was just as easy—quick inspection and no hidden charges.

I’d definitely rent from them again and would recommend their service to others.

A Happy Customer

This is the second time using Bargain Car Rentals (1st in Sydney, 1st time in Melbourne). Both times I experienced happy and quick service, cars have been great, shuttle drivers have been great and of course the pricing is fantastic. I won't use another company now unless you have no cars.
