The car was clean and previous minor damage was clearly recorded. Booking, picking up and returning were all quick and easy.
The negative was that when I telephoned shortly after pick up to report that I believed that I had left my hat in the pick up office, I was told that your office would enquire with the pick up office. I never had any reply which was disappointing.

We sincerely apologise that you did not receive a reply regarding your hat. Our staff usually only get in contact if the item is found, and we're sorry if that fact wasn't communicated properly.

Staff were friendly and courteous and Car OKAY
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. We had used Bargain Rentals before.
The car was okay, but the remote didn't work after 3 days of our rental, just used the key for the period from 25/7-6/8/26.
The Wipers needed changing.
The reversing camera was foggy and somewhat unclear.
Car ran well and was economical.
The vehicle has several scratches and markings which staff had identified and reported. At 71,000 km, not surprising.
Service from staff was good, and the process and price was very good. Did what we needed.

We are glad our staff provided friendly and courteous service, and that the pick-up, despite being slow due to multiple flight arrivals, was not a significant issue. It's also good to know the car ran well and was economical for your needs.
We have noted your feedback regarding the remote not working after a few days, the wipers needing replacement, and the foggy reversing camera. We are always looking for ways to improve our fleet and services, and your comments are invaluable in this process. We are pleased that the overall process and price met your expectations, and we look forward to serving you again.
