Fantastic Service

We needed a moving truck on short notice and they gave us a really reasonable rate. Communicating was excellent and the prices was simple and painless.
The truck they gave us was in immaculate condition.
Fantastic service. Will use again.

Very good service

Very good car, very quick efficient when picking up and the rep we dealed with was very pleasant, they allowed me to return after hours on a Sunday could not have been happier. They pointed out previous damage I couldn't even see so they were very honest at the pickup. They returned the bond immediately. Will definitely use them again.

Important read this before you attempt…

Important read this before you attempt to rent a car with them.
Sadly I did not do any research before I put my trust on this dodgy company over the typical main ones such as: alamo , avis, budget… just to save a few dollars... Well… that cost me well over 4,500 aud. It was by far the worst customer experience I’ve ever had in 30+ years. I’ve been in 60+ countries and I never seen anything like that, not even in third world countries where I rented cars and motorbikes. They not only kept my bond 500$ and they also forced me to pay 3,992$ out of pocket. (keep reading)

In may I rented a 4wd car to explore the beautiful australian west coast for 10+ days. I paid the highest insurance that they offer, which is the combined insurance. The car they gave me had a faulty clutch and no longer worked after only 3 days on the road trip being stuck in a remote town of western australia (coral bay hostel). With a useless car I attempted to call them 15+ times during business hours and nothing. From them just emails saying that the insurance does not cover anything and I’m liable for all the costs. They forced me to pay a tow + repairs of their faulty car without any replacement car nor any other solution at all. When this happens to you in a remote town in west australia that is going to be a real nightmare if you're in their hands.
-they just want your money that’s all, they don’t give an absolute crap about the customer.
In my case, the tow + repair of their faulty car was 3.6k+ gst total near 4,000 aud (see pictures attached on google reviews).

They assured me by email and also by phone call that would reimburse the tow + repair paid out of pocket by myself. Once the report from the mechanic was provided. Of course, they did not reimburse anything at all and they also did not return the pre-paid 500$ bond.

Please be mindful before you give them your money. If you’re lucky, you might save 100$ - 200$ at best, over any of the main rental car rental big brand as long as nothing adverse happens to you. However, if something goes wrong then expect an endless nightmare! Def not worth it! Be smart, do yourself a favour. Do a research before you hand them your credit card details.

This company is not up to the standards of western world country like Australia, they do not even meet the standards of a third world banana republic. They claim to be running for over 15 years haha it's just unreal.

Horrible company

Horrible company, they offer an insurance that doesn’t cover much, and they specify that windscreen damage is not covered. Sadly on May way back to return the car in the high way, a Little Rock crack the windscreen and for my suprise after a week they sent me the invoice for the repair, charging me $1500,0. Which is completely out of proportion.
I will not recommend to anyone to rent a car with them, it is a scam. Go with any other company, avoid them.

Reply from Northside Rentals

Hello Diego,

Thank you for your feedback.

However we believe your review is unfair and incorrect.

As per the emailed Quote you received prior to booking, the Rental Agreement Term and Conditions which you signed stating you had "read, understood, acknowledged and agreed to".

"Windscreen and Tyre damage are not covered in the the damage cover"

Therefore unfortunately as you damaged the Windscreen of the vehicle while on hire, you are liable for the repair costs.


Northside Rentals did not scam you, we have acted in accordance to the emailed and accepted quote, the "read, understood, acknowledged and agreed to Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions" which you have signed.

Northside Rentals have therefore charged you the cost to repair the Windscreen which you damaged.

If you have any further questions or queries please feel free to contact us directly on broome@northsiderentals.com.au.

Thanks

Easy to arrange

Easy to arrange, got confirmation back that all submitted paperwork was received and in order. Got after hours key pick details morning g of the pickup and it really was easy. Car well presented and the return was quick and easy, then to finish it all the bus shuttle back to the airport dropped me right to my terminal with ample time to catch my flight. Stress free from the start to finish, will definitely use Northside rentals again.
