There’s no other choice
Truly hiring a car through Simba (particularly the team at Perth Airport) was one of the best experiences I’ve had in doing so.
The team there were clear, friendly, flexible and reliable - all with a very competitive price. The process was simple and quick - the pre check in is fabulous.
The pick up/drop off airport location was a little away from the airport but we were offered a free shuttle after dropping off the car!
Very highly recommend :)

Great prices and a seamless experience.
Great prices and a seamless experience.
Shuttle to and from the airport was only a few minutes and car selection was great.
We hired the Hyundai i30 hybrid and was very happy with our choice.
Good service
Easy on line booking.
Messaged on arrival and Simba communicated a pickup had been dispatched. Note- car collection is not at the terminal. The car was ready at Simba base and the agreement emailed. The car was good- no problems- on return checked and efficient transfer back to the terminal. Good service, helpful staff and would use Simba again.
Good service, good vehicle, good price.
Good service at pickup, brilliant service at drop off. Nice car in good condition but bigger than I ordered ("upgrade") and I'd have been more relaxed and comfortable in the smaller compact SUV. Nice friendly people both times, thanks Megan and crew.
Ease to book
Ease to book, Ease to pick up, Ease to drop off. Also very friendly staff.
Worst car rental experience ever
Absolutely avoid Simba Car Hire.
A tiny scratch on the car turned into a bill of almost 8,000 AUD for a 7-day rental. They charged 295 AUD per day for “immobilisation” while repairing a minor mark (which took 12 days) — even though the rental rate was only 14.23 AUD/day. That’s 20× more for a car not being used than for a car being driven.
The car already had multiple unrepaired dents when I picked it up, so why did a minor scratch become such an inflated, weeks-long repair project?
No support, no empathy, just outrageous charges. It feels like a business model designed to profit from accidents, not help customers.
Do yourself a favour: stay away from Simba.

Warm welcome from staff. Very personal, professional and explained contract thoroughly. . Pick up and return very easy including shuttle bus to the airport.
It was the worst car hire that I have…
It was the worst car hire that I have ever used. They suck you in with cheap price but then when you are there, they charge you with everything. I was in Sydney and they don't open after 7, so if your flight leaves early in the morning, they will charge you $75 to give you a code to open the gate for you to drop your car. And even after 4 months that I used their services, I still getting charges on my credit card without any explanation for them.
