Laughed at by employees when in distress. No manager
I got a interstate flight and arrived at Brisbane Airport when the shuttle bus took me to Simba car hire I was met with a refusal of getting a car because my drivers license was in 150 km of the depot so therefore I needed bills in order to show them that I was not a theft risk.
I was quite upset as I was not told that I needed to bring bills in order to rent a car in which I’ve rented numerous times before, but that wasn’t the problem.
The problem was the customer service. Two men of Indian appearance could not help but smirk and LAUGH at the fact that I was crying and shaking being stranded at an interstate airport.
They refused to help me and they said that they would not be renting me a car when I asked to speak to a manager or a supervisor they said “ they didn’t have one” not only was the English barrier difficult but the fact that these two men thought it was funny that I was stranded and left out in the rain was the most disgusting and inappropriate customer service I have ever experienced in my life.
I tried to get any form of eye contact from the three men behind the customer service counter. All three of them refused to look at me, put their head down in the computer and would not help me. I felt like I was in the twilight zone
I would suggest that any female that decides to rent through this company goes in there with a man so they are not treated so terribly by being laughed at when they are clearly distressed.
This is an issue that needs to be taken up with an ombudsman, and the fact that there is no supervisor there to escalate.
Unfortunately, none of them are wearing name tags so I cannot tell you their names, which is a shame, but also the fact that they probably wouldn’t want to be identified online
Pricing was great and the whole team…
Pricing was great and the whole team was helpful and friendly
Great all round experience
Great rates, new vehicle, friendly staff. Everything about the hire was simple and well explained. Shuttle to and from Perth airport made everything really easy.
Simba is Fantastic!
Great value for money! We rented a Kia Stonic for four days. Vehicle was modern and clean.
Service was fantastic. I can't recall the name of the customer service rep (he had reddish hair and also did maintenance), but he should honestly consider a career in acting, he was such a character. Really friendly and easy to deal with.
Thanks Simba!
Great customer service and the airport…

Worse Rental Company in Cairns
Told different opening time for Cairns Office. Tried to book pickup voicemail full can't leave a message had to ge Uber. Arrived only one staff member other Clients also trying to drop off car and also told wrong opening times. They also had to book Uber. Office Staff nice and helpful but terrible Simba Management. Would never use again and would tell others to avoid. When I dropped off car they tried to charge me petrol from a faculty fuel gauge. I had to wait 40mins to be taken to the Airport an almost missed my flight. Terrible and stressful experience 0/10 rating. 😡😡
