Pros: Everything, would definitely use Simba again!
Cons: Nothing, well priced, great service, wouldn’t expect any more!
Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful. Pick up and drop off were easy
Cons: The first car we were offered needed an oil change we had it for 9 weeks so felt this was unacceptable. The second car was a good car very efficient and comfortable however in week 8 I had a puncture and when I took the car to have a new tyre installed I was told the tyres were bald and illegal. The next car I was offered needed a service.
Pros: Simba was an excellent car provider, the staff were excellent, and the car was pristine. No issues whatsoever, and would most certainly use them again
Pros: Everything went smooth. From pick up to drop off. Unfortunately the first car they gave us, the Air Conditioner was not working. The next day we back to get another vehicle, they were great. They didn’t have a car that was equal to what we rented so the manager put us in an SUB which was fabulous.
Cons: All was good with the exception of the telephone number they provide us to call when we arrive at the airport doesn’t work. They did not have a toll free number or a number that would work for us Canadians. Thankfully my son lives in AU so he had to call for us for us to get picked up. He
Pros: Prompt collection and return to airport. Friendly staff with a personal touch.
Cons: Nothing
