Staff were friendly and courteous. The pickup from Coolangatta Gold Coast Airport was slow but not an issue for us as several flights arrived at the same or similar time. Driver was helpful.... See more

False advertisement and cheap cars with problems
They advertise that they rent "New cars at a bargain price". In reality, the car we got had almost 70 000 km, brakes were due to be changed, it had problem with head beams efficiency, etc. Their fleet is mostly composed of the cheapest brands on the market (mostly MG). During our rental, we experienced poor customer service (do not return emails). When I reported those issues to the Cairns Bargain office manager, he was listening passively, did not lift a finger to help and instead of showing interest in the problems I was reporting and suggesting solutions, he told me that we were more than welcome to rent from elsewhere next time.

Hi Andy,
Our fleet does change from location to location with what we have available and at most a vehicle will stay with us for 3 years from its manufacture date, they are always serviced regularly and are generally rotated out of fleet before that KM reading, the vehicle you were provided is in that process of being rotated out currently for example.
I have had a look through and could not find any emails from your email address listed on your booking but your concerns about the vehicle were noted by the depot staff and communicated to our fleet team.
If you have any specific inquiries for your booking don't hesitate to reach out to info@bargaincarrentals.com.au

Counter service was friendly and very efficient.
Counter service was friendly and very efficient. The vehicle provided was similar to what we had booked and was overall in good condition, however the front seats would have benefitted from a deep clean.
Good value for money and met our needs.
