Signage for the company at Adelaide airport was woeful! We walked between the terminal and the car area three times before another company staff member told us where the desk was situated. When we finally found the desk, we mentioned it to the staff member who said they are trying to get a sign made for customers to see. Not trying hard enough really. A4 with a texta pen would have been sufficient. The check in was very slow....due to the computer. We advised we would be needing the car for one less day and asked for a refund (prepaid). Staff advised we would have to go through the third party that we had booked with. A long story but looks like we will not be seeing that money again. The car was fine a Kona. Drove well no issues. We will not be using Alamo or the third party to book a car again. Sorry.

The car was clean and worked well. The signage of the airport 'office' is not visible enough. One of the staff didn't seem to know everything about his job, however the others were very friendly and professional.

Value for money. The car was clean and reasonably maintained.

The pick up and drop off point is not at strategic location although shutter service was provided.

Staff were friendly and proffessional.

Given my recent full hip replacement, I got a manual but had every expectation that I was getting an automatic. I managed through it, because I had to. Else, if I had time and opportunity to argue and go elseware I would have. I will not get stuck like this ever again. Also, I reported that the small car pulled to the left and the rear disc callipers were scraping loudly.

Lower priced than the more well known rental companies.

They charged my credit card a mysterious fee with no explanation more than 3 weeks after I had returned the rental, on top of the rental costs already incurred.

Value for money was a priority. Being collected from the airport to the depot is very easy and make it an easier access out of the airport with no worries. We are very happy with all that you offered and well done to your fabulous Staff. Jane Derham

I had to cancell within 40 hours of the hire date due to unforeseen circumstances. Your 48 hour cancellation policy is out of step with industry standards and blatantly unfair. I will never use your company again.

Very disappointed that I had to make arrangements to return the hire car the day prior to expected (prior to 4.45pm) as there is no after-hours key return. My flight was 7.10am and I was advised I could not drop off until after 9am.

I booked the car using kayak, which was good! The car was good too, however Europcar has charged me for the car (which I had already paid for) and the fuel (which we filled full tank while returning) out of my deposit. I have personally gone to their store in Adelaide city and spoken about it, they asked me to call and e-mail customer care which I did. I have provided proof of my payments and haven't heard back from them yet!

I booked online with price range and it was in American dollars, so I ended up paying a lot more then I wanted. I booked an Hyundai, which is what I drive at home. They didn't have one, so I was driving a car I was unfamiliar with. It had not navigation system. I was very stressed driving the car, and the girl at the check-in had no time to explain the car to me. Just handed me the key. I had to pay an extra $50 to be fully insured. Not impressed with Budget.

Very cheap car hire. Unfortunately pick up/drop off not located at the airport. Was a bit of a mission to organise shuttle pick up unable to get through on number provided on website. Man was quite rude when we returned the car, we advised that the tyre pressure was low as came up on the dash, he was quick to say we must have popped the tyre. Didn’t appreciate his manner, however no issues during handover.

retty poor for an airport rental company. Should have read reviews first as I wouldn’t have booked with them if I had. Arrived at Adelaide airport and called for the shuttle bus and was told that the last one had left, they were about to close and I wouldn’t be able to collect the car until the next day!? WTF Nowhere during the booking process did I see that you need to be at the shuttle LATEST 5:30pm If that happens go to, I suggest going to the Budget rentals office at the airport. They had the best price and vehicles compared to Avis and Hertz (who wanted $500+$100 bond for 3 days small car rental) 😳
