Opted for Alpha for 3-4 days in Gold Coast for self & family whilst being there on a short vacation. Great customer service from Doug (our shuttle bus driver) and then Jade (front office staff). Very pleasant and quick. Reasonable fares. Car was also clean. Attaching some photos. Jade also shared with me a couple of scratches on the car, so 5 stars for transparency as well. 😀They aren’t located at the Gold Coast Airport itself. They are about 3 KMs from the Airport. Hence, to assist their customers, there is a shuttle bus service. They send a mini bus that takes you from the Airport to their yard, from where you pick up your car.The only downside being - if you have to return the car at an odd time, you will have to drop off the car there (yard opens around 6 am with a couple of boys doing the opening but front office opens 7 am) and then head to Airport via taxi or Uber.If they can find a place at the Airport (I know it’s a fair stretch 😃😃), that’d be wonderful.Everyone and everything else, fantastic. Best wishes.

I had an excellent experience renting from Alpha Car Rental during my recent trip to the Gold Coast. The booking process on their website was simple and efficient. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, the friendly staff had everything ready to go and I was in and out within minutes.The car itself was spotless, well-maintained, and ran perfectly throughout my week-long rental. It was the exact model I reserved and had all the features I needed.Returning the vehicle at the end of my trip was just as quick and easy. The service agent did a quick inspection, processed my return, and had me on my way in no time

Awesome company with wonderful friendly and helpful drivers and staff. Love the purple vans! The rental car we got far exceeded our expectations and was amazing, comfortable, spacious and almost brand new! Which was amazing considering it was by far the cheapest rental we could get from any place we looked! Made our trip so much easier and more affordable! Thankyou.
