Bargain Car Rentals was the most seamless car rental experience I've ever had. They had truly exceptional customer service. I liked that their price was reasonable and that everything ran pretty flexibly. A nice bonus was that they didn't charge for an extra driver.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
Third party cover if taken up at time of booking through one of our agents does differ from taking the cover directly with us and is handled with different terms and conditions.
While we are not made aware of any third party insurance/cover taken up at the time of booking our staff are legally obligated with a duty of care to always ask if you want to take up the liability cover options directly with us as well as make sure you know how the different options work for you.
We do rely on any customer that has already purchased third party cover to let us know that is in place as our cover would then not be necessary if the terms and conditions of these work for you.
Apologies if there has been any confusion along the way here, if you have any specific inquiries around your booking don't hesitate to reach out to info@bargaincarrentals.com.au

I needed to wait for 20 minutes to get the car after signing the contract as the staff needed to clean the car. They should have clean before my appointment.

Sometimes our vehicles are not available due to events out of our control (customers returning later than booked, accidents/incidents that need maintenance, a vehicle returning needing extensive detailing) and we do try to get them ready for you and in as quick a manner as possible. Apologies it has taken longer than expected to have your vehicle ready for you.
