Pros: Friendly

Cons: Slightly slow pick up and drop off

Pros: Fantastic to deal with

Cons: Nil

Pros: Easy, efficient, pleasant and flexible

Cons: It is not that we didnt like it, but the office was a bit far from the airport in Adelaide

Pros: When picking up the car, Lucy at Adelaide Bargain rental was extremely accommodating and went over and above when we didn’t know the details of our policy with Discover Cars

Cons: kept waiting for too long as the desk clerk later admitted he was having difficulty with a customers account on the computer.

Cons: Being advised everything was out of their hands. Cover taken no good. Also trying to sell more cover incase their car brakes down!

Pros: Quick, easy and efficient website and staff at the depot.

Cons: Car really should've been checked before giving it to me.

Pros: Efficient and friendly.

Cons: Not enough staff on counters.

Pros: Price

Cons: Staff disinterested. Car windscreen interior filthy. When sunlight hit window early evening visibility was awful. Had to clean it ourselves. Car was dangerous to drive. Staff were disinterested. We waited ages to be collected without anyone appearing then had to wait until someone reluctantly got on with the job of driving to the terminal. Car had 80+ KM on the clock.

Pros: Upgraded the car we had booked on arrival

Cons: Car took ages to pick up due to only having android and apple sat navs which was fine in theory as we had android auto and a data sim but it would not connect on the phone with android auto. After 3 staff trying to help (one who's own apple phone wouldn't even connect) we ended up having to 'hotspot' the old phone which would connect. This really needs to be shown on the bookings as not everyone has this facility on their phone nor a data sim so using google maps will incur huge costs

Pros: price

Cons: they make me wait 1h30minutes because I came early

Pros: Friendly, cheap, reliable car. Jonathan at BC was very helpful

Cons: Older vehicle with some rattles and dents but did the job.

Pros: The whole process was very straightforward.

Cons: The car was a bit older than I thought it would be but in the end everything was fine during our 3,600 km drive in Australia. Also please pay attention to the hours of operation. There is no service after the office is closed.

Pros: The person who served me (John) was extremely helpful, made everything clear, and delivered fantastic customer service.

Pros: Friendly and helpful at dropoff

Cons: When we picked up the person serving us started of friendly until we decided against the extra insurance, which we did because we had already arranged that with discover cars, then he was less friendly

Pros: Very helpfull agent and useful maps available

Cons: Still waiting for rebate after dropping car off 3 days earlier than expected.

Pros: None

Cons: The car quality was extremely poor & available options were very limited. I was provided with an MG, despite my original booking of Kia Sorento. The vehicle had over 61,000 km on the odometer, the brakes were in terrible condition, and there was hardly any pickup. I felt so unsafe driving it that I had to return it immediately, however, no alternatives were available. Additionally, I'd to wait over 45 minutes at Adelaide Airport for a pickup. Despite receiving a message that its on the way.

Pros: Car inspection upon return was efficient and shuttle bus driver was helpful to load and unload luggage

Cons: The pick up staff charged me extras without notice & didn’t brief me how to use this car model

Pros: Great service, friendly staff at pick up and drop off. Good value for money and reliable car hire company

Pros: Friendly staff and competitive price.

Cons: Only issue was air conditioner might need some top up.

Pros: price was good

Cons: didn’t get the car we thought we would get but was a similar size

Pros: Helpful team

Pros: Pick up and drop off service.

Cons: We had to wait for nearly an hour to pick up our car, even though we had already completed all the details online. All that was left for them to do was verify our identities and hand over the keys, but they kept stalling. We later realised they didn’t actually have any cars available, despite our booking being made three months in advance. And when we finally received the car, it was full of rubbish left by previous customers—it hadn’t even been cleaned.

Pros: Great staff, quick and easy process which starts the trip off to a great start, good value for money, and nice clean cars.

Cons: Probably upon paying the remainder on pickup, when I booked through discoverycars.com I thought I bought the full on protection but apparently it’s through a 3rd party & wouldn’t of covered me if I was at fault which I was nervy about, didn’t choose anything more & thankfully all was well & we took it extra easy driving.

Pros: Everything bar check out and check in

Pros: Cheap petrol refill at point of hire. Conditions of hire clearly explained.

Cons: Not enough staff for number of vehicles being collected or returned. Finally, transit from airport to Marleston was shambolic - we ended up catching a taxi. Transfer back to the airport was very good.

Pros: cheap

Cons: The pickup ws difficult as our UK phone didn't work in Australia leaving us trying other ways to get a message through. Eventually the Info desk at the airport was helpful. Even then we weren't sure a message had go through as there was no acknowledgment. It simply cuts one off.

Pros: Loved the customer service, she was super friendly, really funny, and exuded passion and commitment. Awesome employee, she's a keeper!

Cons: NIL

Pros: Insurance coverage between Discover and Bargain should be cleared better, both of you

Cons: Insurance coverage between Discover and Bargain should be cleared better, both of you

Pros: Good service

Cons: As an overseas visitor initial call for collection could be better

Pros: The low price. We just needed something small to do short trips between relatives residences without the huge price tag the other companies charge. Also we aren't bothered if the car has a few k's on it or its a few years older. Not everyone needs or wants the newest and flashiest car.

Cons: We found the insurance options confusing as its different to other rental companies. At time of booking online i thought we had the standard 5k excess but apparently we didnt.

Cons: Car mats have been to loose, none OEM cheap ones, dangerous

Pros: The staff at pick up and drop off were very helpful and efficient

Cons: I tried to call to see if i could addy wife as a driver. I waited over 30 mins on hold, then left my number for a call back which never came. I ended up sending an email which was not answered.

Cons: The car was closer to service and kept reminding which made me worried

Pros: We bought online 100% car protection but still agent asking to buy protection on pickup.

Pros: Had to make changes to booking and they were totally helpful

Cons: Nothing to not like....would use them again

Pros: Fast pickup and drop off! Walked in and out in minutes!

Cons: Full protection Covers that I have paid ,was not included into bargain car rental. It was separate unknown online cover which did not explain earlier.

Cons: Full cover insurance more expensive than what the website says, and no option to buy in advance with discovercars this time

Cons: No notification that I wouldn't be able to pick up my car at the airport at planned time until I was in the air from the UK.

Pros: James at Adelaide car rentals was excellent to deal with, practical, lots of common sense despite huge amount of customers. They could benefit from more staff.

Cons: Nothing all good

Pros: Really great people to deal with. Explain everything.

Cons: A little confusing van pickup instructions at Adelaide airport. Chinese car not as good as Japanese.

Pros: Friendly and efficient

Cons: The instructions said to ring a phone number on arrival but as an international visitor I wasn’t able to. A web-based option like Whatsapp messaging would have been better. Thankfully the information desk at Adelaide airport let me use their phone. Otherwise everything else was great and went smoothly.

Pros: Near new vehicle and good rate

Cons: A cheaper brand of vehicle with few 'frills', specifically sat nav. Tendency to try and sell further insurance

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: I got a phone call 5 hours after dropping of the car to ask where the car was and why hadn’t return it

Pros: Car was fine,

Cons: Turned out we had vbooked through a 3rd party, but was provided by Bargain rentals! Person at Adelaide airport office was indifferent and not helpful. Not even a map in the car or office to help us get out to the main road. A map in thew car would be helpful! When I asked directions to get either to motorway or city- very unhelpful. When I asked about getting a bus rather than getting them to take me back to the airport- they again could only tell us a bus stop on the road, but no more

Pros: Pick up from, and drop off to, airport.

Cons: Car had 2 damaged seatbelt buckles in the rear seats, both missing the plastic guards around the buckle and one which had been duct taped. The sharp parts led to minor cuts to two passengers fingers, on separate occasions.

Pros: Very friendly staff, reasonably price, nearly new cars, very easy pick up and no fuss at drop off and return. Used them many times and always good experiences!

Pros: Staff attitude and approach

Cons: Confusion around vehicle pick up. Voucher said airport, but that was to join the shuttle.wasted a frustrating hour or so

Pros: Efficient and friendly

Pros: Car was ready for use and the operator was helpful

Pros: Clean, newish (10,000km) small vehicle as ordered (MG3) No evidence of damage or problems. Needed for 1 week, driven 365kms mostly two trips out of Adelaide CBD. All OK, car reliable, well looked after. Brought it back a little dirty but no issue at their end. Service on return quick, and back at the Airport well before we had to be, as shuttle bus was ready for us. Second time used in 5 months, no complaints.

Cons: Unfortunately not situated at Adelaide Airport Terminal (rent is probably too high) and therefore to get cheaper/Bargain Price, they are located approx 10-12 minutes drive from Airport, and therefore provide a Shuttle Bus service to their location. An added stress in a new location for a non-local who really just wants to get to their accomodation as fast as possible. Following the directions for contacting Bargain was OK, but the location Pin on the Map was not precise/correct, a little offonly

Pros: Everyone was helpful and did their best to accomodate our request.

Cons: In the MG our phone couldn’t be connected to use our maps, which was disappointing and frustrating.
