I booked a 12 seater mini bus from Avis for a trip to the Barossa on the weekend; the customer…read moreservice and bus provided at the Port Road Hindmarsh site were 5 star worthy. I hadn't used Avis before, I was referred on by another company I have used in the past as they were out of buses. Can I say I will be going straight back to Avis for any car or bus I hire. Very impressed.

Great, friendly, helpful, customer service. There were no dramas, no complications. Everything was…read moreso simple. I needed a car for a couple of days, while my own car was in the shop. I looked online for something cheap, and not too far from Adelaide. Many places won't put prices online, trying to get people to call them first, but Koala's prices were right there on their page. I rented a nice Hyundai for a measly $35 a day plus $15 insurance. Returning the car was just as straightforward, and the security deposit was back in my bank the next morning. I would certainly use this company again, and I highly recommend them.

Two friends and I decided it would be a wicked idea to road trip it to the Red Centre of Australia…read moreand because none of us have an outback faring vehicle we decided to head to Koala Car Rental for our transportation needs. We did A LOT of research into which company would be the cheapest, who offered the sort of car we wanted, and the easiest place to collect the car from. We turned our noses up at all of the major ones including Avis and Budget because of their prices and the fact they weren't crazy about having younger drivers (even though we were all of age to hire a car). And don't even get us started on Wicked Vans which are meant to be the most amazing company ever but would only accept our liver as payment because we couldn't afford the rest. So Koala was really easy to deal with and by far the best value for a long-ish trip to Alice Springs like we were planning. We were given a decent model car and they were very female friendly when explaining the terms and conditions. Located just west of the city, it was also convenient for us to pick up and they were one of the few independent companies that we found who let us take the car more than 200km from Adelaide. Make sure you check the car over before you take it of course, you don't want to be blamed for scratches or dents which were already in the car. And there is a hefty bond in case anything happens, but we got it refunded quite quickly which was impressive.
