Like: The vehicle I got was pretty much efficient on fuel and clean inside and out. Transfers to and from airport was quick and well communed by staff. Also, having experiences with other car rentals to my surprise I found them providing with inbuilt navigation at no extra cost. Cheers!
Dislike: 12v socket was faulty that kept me from charging the phone as it is essential while taking long journeys.

Dislike: Would be good if Brisbane depot was little closer to airport, and if there was dedicated pickup area at airport...which I understand are being progressed, though it was like I expected.

I needed assistance from the customer service desk at Brisbane airport, as the quoted phone no. for Carhood was not replying. After help, everything went very well - the car was larger than expected but was an automatic and not the expected manual. But fantastic value!

We did an after hours pick up but the communication was great and we had no issues with the pick-up. Drop-off was equally smooth. The car itself was fine and just what we needed.

When I drop off, they were able to do a 10min trip to the airport, but could not do the same 10min trip to somewhere else. Why? It was a little frustrating.

Car was fine. Pick up and drop off were different locations. Bus not marked so hard to find. Drop off was to a random, empty, very dark lot where we sat for 15 minutes before finally getting through to someone then waited another 10-15 minutes to be collected. Wouldn't use again despite the decent price.

They operate from a van on the side of the road. The staff were very nice but it is a very dodgy operation. The car was a very old commodore in poor condition with about 190k kms on it. The rental car was parked on the street. I don’t think they actually have an office they just have cars parked on the side of the road that they rent out. Would not use again.

I was very satisfied with this car rental. Firstly, the price was very cheap, less than 100 AUD for 4 days. I was worried that renting an SUV from Nissan at such a low price wouldn't be good, but the car turned out to be very nice, very new, and easy to drive with a push start button. The owner, a very nice white man, warned us about the 200 km per day mileage limit, which we didn't exceed. After returning the car, the owner even drove us to the airport. Overall, it was an excellent car rental experience!

This company is very reliable. It operates as a platform where individual owners rent out their cars, so the availability of vehicles can be inconsistent. However, they were very proactive in resolving any issues I encountered. Initially, we swapped the car to a BMW, but the windshield washer didn't work. Then they replaced it with a Camry, which did take some time, but they were very dedicated to solving the problems. Excellent service.

Very dissatisfied. The scheduled return time was 6:00 AM. We arrived at 5:40 AM in the freezing cold, but had to wait until 6:27 AM for the staff to show up, which delayed our subsequent plans. We had another car to return, causing our team to rush and be very stressed. Not good at all.
