Great experience with Alpha Car Hire! The online booking and payment process was smooth and easy. The car was clean, modern, and in perfect condition.

The only downside was the waiting time for the shuttle and the difficulty reaching someone by phone upon arrival.

I’m from New Caledonia, and this was my first time using a local rental company. I especially recommend Alpha Car Hire to fellow New Caledonians and French travellers — they are excellent.

Overall, excellent value for money and very good customer service. No hidden fees and a very user-friendly website.

We rented a car from Sydney to Brisbane and started with some problems at the pick up at alpha car hire in Sydney.

But when we returned it in Brisbane, the colleagues were absolutely great!

We were late for returning the car and the office was already closed. But there were 4 staff members, who were really nice and helped us with our problem. We did’nt fuel the car, were late and needed to instantly pick up another car.
So they started the computers again and made it possible for us to drive on with the same car.

Big thanks to them!

We had an urgent travel to Brisbane.At the airport itself we booked rental car with Alpha and waited at the pickup point. When no taxi arrived for 9-10 minutes I was panicking and started reading all negative reviews of delays etc. But just then the pickup arrived. We had a very friendly quick service at reception and got the car for our needs. Return,Drop off was prompt too. 5 stars undoubtedly

I booked a car (through a third party service provider) with Alpha car rental, Brisbane Airport. The customer service (both pickup and return) process of Billy was great. He is friendly and efficient. I had the vehicle almost for a month. It was a very reliable and comfortable vehicle. The office of Alpha car rental is a modern, clean and a pleasant place.

Had my doubts initially but the shuttle came within half hr as it's not right at the airport and we had just missed the previous one. Picking up the car was easy then dropping off easy too. The staff were all helpful. And if you use tolls it just comes out of your account not from your bond. And it's school holidays up there so I was expecting massive delays we even managed to get an earlier flight since we left plenty of time to make it back to the airport. Will definitely use again when I need to hire a car as it's way cheaper even with insurance

Apart from a slow vehicle pickup (due to inexperienced staff member) our experience with Alpha car rentals was great. The shuttle transfer from the airport was easy and the car we chose was clean and well presented. It ran well with no issues for the 7 days. At the end of our trip the drop off was quick and easy and we got their shuttle back to the airport to get a taxi into town. I will be using them on our next trip to Australia.

I hired an MG hatchback for three days. It was a budget experience, but the price was much more competitive than major brands.

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.

My experience with hiring from Alpha was seamless. Originally opted with them for the price and appreciated how good the service and vehicle was. Called from the arrivals at the airport and was given clear instructions for the shuttle, added all my details during the shuttle ride over which made pickup really swift. Drop off was the same, quick and then shuttled to the airport.

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.

The distance from the airport is considerable, yet the complimentary shuttle bus service alleviates any inconvenience. The staff members were notably amiable.
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.

I had an excellent experience with Marita who was very helpful with the car rental and her customer service was great. I had an issue with Booking.com but she helped me sort out the booking last minute 😊 The car was nice and well priced. I would definitely come back next time I need a car rental and recommend to others. Only suggestion I would make is to include a charger in the car for customers to charge their phone/devices

Further to my review posted earlier....
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....

Having hired a car in march 2025 at alpha car rentals in brisbane australia i was very impressed by the shuttle service pick up at brisbane airport and so delighted to meet Mike who made the ride to the rental office so enjoyable. Although we had a wait at the office for the car we booked for hire, it was made less of a wait by talking to the staff about the area, which was the best route to take to get me to my destination. I found them very helpful, knowledge, totally supportive and honest in not trying to upsell me insurance i didn’t need.

One of the best rental experiences I've had so far! The shuttle bus pickup was seamless, and the drivers were friendly, courteous, and attentive. I had several pieces of luggage, and they helped me load them onto the bus, making the process stress-free.

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!

Not familiar with Brisbane airport and Alpha made it stress free with prearranged shuttle to site. Hassle-free check-in to pickup vehicle and drop off on return. Company cars modern spotless and comfortable. Very much made a 4 day trip from NT easier. Recommend company to others.
