Very reasonable rental prices, easy transfer with airport shuttle.
Some damage to the car when we collected it so make sure you take plenty of photos before you leave the pick up depot.

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.

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.

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.
