Brunswick Street
Brunswick Street spills from the pedestrian-only Brunswick Street Mall, through Ann Street, and into New Farm, in the heart of Brisbane’s entertainment district. A diverse selection of bars, cafes, restaurants, and retailers along the bustling street.
While the street is quiet and peaceful during the day, it comes alive at night. If you enjoy live music, see who is performing at The Fortitude Music Hall, go next door to Black Bear Lodge or across the street to Ric’s Bar for live and local bands. The Press Club, located further down the road, frequently hosts jazz performances. Add in The Empire Hotel, Heya Bar, Our Place, Finn McCool’s The Flying Cock, and a slew of other bars, and you’ve got yourself a night out on the town.
Chinatown Mall
You’ll be treated to a feast for the senses the instant you pass through the old Chinese gates, with authentic stone guard-lions. Perhaps it’s the bustle of Chinese supermarkets, the aromas and sounds of diverse ingredients merging in a sizzling wok, or the warm Yum Cha breakfasts shared with friends that keep people turning up. Regardless of the season, Chinatown is always ready to delight.
As you walk around Chinatown, you’ll notice the architecture, textures, colours, and emotions. It isn’t just the food that is outstanding. The Chinatown Mall is a bustling shopping and entertainment complex that hosts a variety of special events.

If you return the vehicle more than 1 hour after the drop-off time, you will be charged an additional full day’s fee.

What Are Customers Say To Us
The car wasn't ready when we arrived. We had booked it for noon, arrived at 1 pm, and did not leave until 1:30/1:45pm. The manager was friendly and apologetic.
Re: the shuttle bus, on both trips—pickup and return—there were more passengers than seats. We boarded early and got on, but some passengers were left behind.
All staff were pleasant, and the overall experience was fine. Still, the service could be improved. Scheduling shuttle runs based on booking times, or prioritising passengers by flight departure, would help.
Alpha is substantially cheaper than other car hire companies. I would book with them again to save the several hundred dollars compared with the main brands, though the savings may not justify the wait times for shorter bookings.
If you use Alpha, allow extra time at both ends of your trip. The shuttle runs about 25 minutes round trip, and you may need to wait for the second bus.
One thing, that was confusing was the toll charges. Im not from Brisbane, so tolls are new to me and a bit more info would have been good. Luckily I just told Google Maps to avoid tolls to make it easier when it came to paying them.
Will use again next time I’m in Brisbane.
I was even provided with an upgrade to a superior vehicle, and while it was aged and emitted peculiar sounds, it was perfectly acceptable.
The situation that arose was that when I made my reservation online, insurance was explicitly presented as an optional extra, and I selected it for added security. However, during the car collection process, another insurance option was presented... It offered a refund in the absence of an accident, so I opted for it as well, although its details were somewhat unclear.
I have yet to return the vehicle, but thus far, everything has been satisfactory.
I would certainly recommend this service, were it not for the complexities surrounding the insurance aspect.
Whilst waiting on my new vehicle with much travel required, this is my go to for Car Hire. A great location close to Airport & City, central to it all in beautiful Brisie. Excellent rates, quality vehicles, and the service from the whole team outstanding! Thank you John. Jade, Vanessa, Tanya & the entire Team. Always so friendly, warm & welcoming, supportive, & professional.
I highly recommend to all. Thank you.
Warmest,
Catherine.
Need Brisbane airport to post signage for the company pick ups, was little annoying have to ask people, other company vans saying which van. And having to call up.
As I hadn't received any communication from 'customer service' regarding the substandard car they had rented out to me...I drove it back to Alpha at Brisbane.
I'm happy to say that a lovely lady called Erin, exchanged the 'jallopy' to a lovely, secure vehicle..no hassle whatsoever.
I just hope I don't find any hidden charges at the end of my rental agreement....
Really happy with the service received from shuttle and vehicle pick up. Our vehicle was the perfect size, had a few cosmetic imperfections but did the job. Will use this service again.
The rental cost was very resonable.. full insurance for 6 days was $392.
Car ran perfectly and was very comfortable (kia cerato)
Would thoroughly recommend this company.
It was quick to pick up and get on our way even though our car was not ready to go we were just given a better car and said we could be on our way. Great new car as quick on drop off. Heaps of staff at hand to make sure it was a fast process
Thanks heaps will recommend and reuse cheers tim
The counter staff were welcoming and informative, and the rates were the most affordable I found. They even helped adjust the rental hours to maximize my usage. The child seat hire was also cheaper than other providers.
Best of all, the bond was released within 30 minutes of returning the car. I’ll definitely use this company again when I visit Brisbane!
