Bargain Car Rentals in Hobart (Downtown)

Pros: Not given sufficient directions to drift spot at Launceston airport

Pros: All went very smoothly very nice stFf

Pros: All went very smoothly, I'm and out with no problems. Car was perfect for our needs.

Cons: Service was great but know that they do ask if you want insurance through them even if you have purchased already, because as you will read in your agreement, if you buy through an online provider, the dealership is unaware you have it. They do not push it but you need to know if you are already covered so you don't purchase twice! This shouldn't be a surprise, if you purchase your insurance with the car from an online provider, read the fine print. All above board.

Pros: Pick up was well organised. Person on desk was efficient and helpful.

Cons: Lucky not to have had a serious accident. Front wheel was loose and a whelk stud broken,discovered by RACT when called out to Cradle Mt. to investigate a noise and vibration through the steering. Prior to this being discovered RACT could not provide a replacement vehicle or have this vehicle collected and changed over. Hence we would have been stranded with our luggage. Need to have a plan to handle these situations. Rather than stating we don’t collect faulty vehicles, we don’t have a replaceme

Pros: Easy as. Had to change the pickup address at relative short notice and proved not to be a problem. All handled through emails. Good work

Pros: I had to call prior and they were difficult to get a hold off - called 3 x day and left messages and never got back for 3 days. Had to go into the office to get help. And on check in there was only 1 x person and was probably peak time but I was waiting over 45 mins to pick up the car - eating into time that I had paid for it for my travel. And found the staff very ‘short’ at times and once got the car wasn’t really shown anything on the inside.

Pros: No fuss return

Cons: Would have been nice if the tyres were fully pumped up as I waste of fuel because of it.

Pros: Efficient service by the Customer Service Representative.

Cons: The vehicle (a Nissan X-Trail) was unfamiliar to me and I had to seek information as to the operation of the Bluetooth set up plus location of a rather peculiar Parking Brake (low foot pedal left of the accelerator pedal) The vehicle was tired and lacked adequate power especially ion hills. It appears that the engine may have been underpowered for the vehicle. Turning circle was extremely wide making parking and tight turns very difficult.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing

Cons: We had a 1 day hire. Pick up in cut at 9 am drop off airport at 6 pm hung around in the rain for 90 mins as car wasn’t ready so we missed doing a lot of things. Charged us an extra $50 to drop at airport. No mention of this when booking. No apology for either thing. Didn’t seem to care at all. Shrug of shoulders pretty much

Pros: The people were nice but incompetent.

Cons: We waited 1.5 hours out the front of the building to get our car. 9am scheduled pick up and didnt receive our car until 10:30am. Meanwhile people scheduled after us received their car first, even though they had hired the same type of car. Choose a different provider to Bargain if you can.

Pros: Vehicle was ready to go when we picked it up and minimal fuss before commencing trip.

Cons: Vehicle provided from the intermediate range was not what we thought we were getting, and not the equivalent of a Corolla which was pictured by Discover Cars. "Or Similar" would refer to a Hyundai i30 not a basic Hyundai Accent.

Cons: Returning the car Car park distance from rental desk

Pros: The car was clean and drove well.

Cons: I was offered ADDITIONAL insurance at the collection desk, when I had already paid for it through my online booking. I was made to feel scared dealing with "some person overseas" rather than "one of our friendly team" and threatened with a $5000 excess regardless of whether I was at fault or not - even for a a tiny scratch or mark on the car. Why would you put this fear into your customers?

Pros: All of the staff involved were extremely helpful. I made an error whilst booking and they were quick, going above and beyond to make sure everything was great.

Cons: N/a

Pros: A lot cheaper than the other car companies that are an absolute rort.

Cons: One guy on the desk when there’s around 12 people needing to collect their car. Waited for around 90 minutes, then when I finally got served, the car wasn’t ready anyway. Also had trouble getting a response around pick up and drop off times. Hard to contact anyone.

Cons: terrible experience when car boot was too small for the bags and the agent refused to cancel and refund - even though no other comparable options available. Boot size was smaller than advertised. Poor NPS for Bargain Car Rental, and top marks to Hertz who saved the day.

Pros: There was a car available at a half reasonable rate.

Cons: I had a lot of trouble reaching an operator when clarifying details and ended up visiting in person to find a young man sitting at the counter with no calls or customer in the shop who was able to help straight away. I am guessing the calls go to an offshore call centre. Was delayed when I picked up the car because it had to be taken to get fuel due to the last person not filling it up. The car still had sand on the back seat and want as clean as it should be. The staff were friendly though.

Cons: Could not contact local Hobart office Was on hold for 20 minutes before requesting a call back but heard nothing back Questioned this at the office and were told oh yeah that seems to happen around here.

Pros: The car was relatively new and that was appreciated considering Tasmania is one of the most expensive places in Australia to rent a car.

Cons: I made three attempts to call Bargain Car rental before my start date. Each time I was on hold for more than 20 minutes and on my last attempt at 25 minutes someone finally took my call. I did try and leave my name and phone number, but no one ever called me back.

Pros: Their service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: quick, low hassle

Cons: expensive - but normal for Hobart
