10/10 for service and efficiency
The service provided by Burswood was exceptional. Right from the booking process through to the return of the car. As I have some mobility issues the team were incredibly accommodating at every stage of the hire. On arrival at Perth airport they arranged for the car to be in the short stay carpark enabling my wife to get me to the car with a minimum of fuss. A bonus was the car we were allocated was a new Audi A4 with only 256km of the clock. We were departing WA on a cruise ship from Fremantle and the company organised that we drop the car at the port (only about 30metres from the passenger entrance). All in all a 10/10 experience and will only book with Burswood in the future.

Great service. Lovely car.
Hired a beautifully presented car for 3 days while my car was at the workshop. Customer service was excellent. Pleasant and easy to deal with. Bond refunded promptly. Would highly recommend. The previous car hire place I used in Melville were nasty. Tried to charge me $800 for a difficult to see ding in door clearly made by another vehicle door and there when I hired the car.

Bad service. Billed for damage that never occured. Use at your own risk
I will start of with a fair comment. The car, a fairly new Audi Q5 was delivered promptly to my hotel. However, the handover process was slipshod. I was just handed an envelope of instructions and told to look through it on my own. I made the mistake of now inspecting the car for any minor damages.
On the day of return, I opted to return the car at the airport. However unlike the major car rental companies which maintain an office and presence in the terminal, if you opt to return a Burswood car, you would have to return it at a an isolated ca...Read more
rpark 10 minutes away from the terminal and drop off the key. As there is no handover process, if there is any damage to the car AFTER you drop the car off at this isolated airport, you would certainly be held liable. I had been driving the car for all of 150km over 2 days with an infant and did not get into any accident whatsoever. Hence my surprise when I was billed $240 for damage. I was told that pictures would be attached as proof but none were. When I called up, customer service were lackadaisical and said that they couldn't really follow up with this and accounts would have to handle this. It is difficult for me to follow up on this as I do not live in Perth. Use at your own risk!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

2nd time with Burswood
2nd time with Burswood and your service never fails to disappoint us. Car was clean and spacious. Instructions were clear and we had no issues picking and dropping off the car. Will be back next year with more rentals from Burswood!

Rates are cheap but overall bad experience and service. Rent at your own risk
There were a few hiccups in the booking procedure but I let it pass. Then everything went smoothly. We returned the car and they sent us the invoice for the rental payment, which was charged to our card on the first day we rented. So I thought all was good. We had taken good care of the car and all.
But, 2 days after returning the car to the designated parking lot (no one to inspect the car on the spot), they charged my card AUD600 for damage saying they had missed it out during the first inspection. How could they have missed out on a dent o...Read more
f the car? I really don't think it was caused by us as it must have been quite an impactful knock to cause such a dent at the front side of the car. What's disappointing is that they didn't even inform me of this charge or let me know that the car was damaged. It was only when I checked my credit card bill 1+week later that I found out that I had damaged the car and was made to pay for it. Fine, I accept that their terms & conditions said that we authorize them to charge us for damages but they could have at least informed me and given me an explanation or receipt/report to show proof that it was indeed a quote from their repairer. They only sent me 2 pix of the car dent (was it even my car or just any of their cars?) as proof and told me the amount was AUD600. Aren't there proper business practices for this to submit a report from the repairer or an invoice immediately after charging a customer instead of me having to ask for one? AUD600 is not a small amount. They claimed they were delayed in letting me know as they were waiting for a quote from their repairer. But they charged me 2 days after the return and didn't inform me at all until I emailed them (1+ week later) to ask about why I was charged AUD600! So the delay is really on their part. But no apologies from them. Having such "terms" in their T&C suggests that they can charge customers any amount they want at any time without their knowledge or proof of repair cost. But claiming that they have no hidden costs etc on their website is kind of untrue. And even though I opted for the premium insurance coverage, it did not cover the cost because this is considered a single-vehicle liability. I had not understood the difference between collision and single-vehicle liability and had Whatsapp them to ask before I rented (I didn't call as I didn't want to incur oversea calling charges) but they didn't respond to my messages (they were not very responsive on whatsapp) and gave me very vague answers. I tried searching their website but could not find answers. I think they should have more clarity on their website or include it in their FAQ to explain. Overall, NONE of their insurance plans covers zero liability. So if you so much as scratch the car or have a small chip (or if someone else damages your car while in the parking lot without your knowledge or it's just not your fault), you WILL be billed at least up to AUD500 (that is only if you opt for their supreme plan).Similar opinion?

I don't recommend it to anyone
I was really disappointed with its customer service and I will never use this company again and neither recommend to someone else. I rented for just two days for light use around the city. The vehicle was the same one as I booked and had run well. But I had some terrible experience. First disappointment was that they delayed 10 minutes delivering their vehicle. After I picked up, I noticed that there was a remarkable scratch on the side of the car, but I just left it as I thought the company should already be aware of it. Few days after returni...Read more
ng it, what was very surprising, the company claimed me for the scratch which was already there at the first! I explained to them many times that I had nothing to do with the scratch and asked them to check their records. But their final decision was to claim me over $400 without any reasonable proof or explanation. Such a stressful and unsatisfied experience. They better learn how to treat customers.Similar opinion?

Best car hire experience
This was by far the easiect car hire experience I have had. Customer service was friendly and responses were timely. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Their prices compared to well known companies was excellent and saved me a couple of hundred dollars. Would highly recommend this company.

Total scammers
I would not advise anyone to use this company. I hired a car for 6 days, drove it from Perth to Albany and back (the whole time I was in Albany I drove my brothers car) When I handed the car back the girl walked straight to the front of the car, got down on her knees and said what are these two small marks here on the bumper. I replied i have no idea as I still can't see what you are talking about. Turns out my " Supreme cover with nil excess" does not cover two tiny paint chips as they deemed it a "single car accident "and they proceeded to ...Read more
take my $100 bond. My advice to anyone hiring from this company make sure you take a detailed video of the car you hire and definitely do not drive the car on any main highways,roads where another truck or car may flick up little stones at your car. Still in disbelief at the whole outcome. What an awesome way to spoil a beautiful holiday in WA.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Damage Dispute
Despite adhering to conditions below and returning the car in immaculate condition, the hire company took $220 out of my account to cover damages. Burswood car hire informed me the damage was under the car (which is why I did not see any damage!) and I must not have realized I caused it!! I am certain I did not damage the car in any way and this is a scam. There was no hand over or return inspection available which would have prevented this happening. In my limited experience of car hire I have never not had this method of hand over included.

Totally Disagree with with reviews
Burswood car rentals misleading customers they had some cars on road without insurance.When customers met with an accident they never covered.They said they had self insurance.They charging extra money for premium cover which is totally useless.I am dealing with accident case from 2015 and spent thousands of dollars from my pocket.Case in Court with SGIO.I can proof in front of MEDIA or anyone who want challenge me.
All good reviews from their own knon people or customers they never face accidents.
If they really honest they can proof where they helped me still case in court.

Good car and good service. Very helpful.
I rented a car for 3 days to go down to Margaret River. The rate was very good when compared to the traditional rental companies. The car was reasonably new and in good, clean condition. I wanted the car earlier Sunday than I reserved for. I called the day before and I got the car one hour earlier and they dropped it off at my hotel! When I returned the car to wrong car park, they were nice about and picked the car up where I left it. The reception lady and was nice and helpful. I would use Burwood Car Rentals again.

Excellent
Have booked a few cars over the years and they are by far the cheapest/easiest/friendliest to deal with. No huge up front fees only $100 fuel hold ... not like $750 - $1000 like all others and easy airport pickup. The cars are practically, if not, new . They made it very stress free after a car reversed into me. They did all the paperwork.
Would highly recommend Burswood Car Rentals .

Bad service from female receptionist
After waiting 5mins for the receptionist to finish her phone call. She then looks at me and says yesss.. I'm like well Hello to you as well. I'm here to pick the car I've booked. Bad service. Will be going back to Budget rentals next time.

Greatest car and ute rental experience ever with Burswood Car Rentals!!!
Very happy with both rentals, the ute for my first week in Perth and the mid size car for another 2.5 weeks afterwards. Both vehicles were available promptly, clean and recent. Also very happy with the agency's management, pricing, organisational skills and flexibility/ helpfulness (they even drovs extra ute ropes to nearby address and accepted 5 min delay in return for petrol top up after ute rental and friendly staff member was there on return to airport of mid size car (Holden) who even drove me, my 6 year old and my luggage to the departure...Read more
section as no trolley could be located). Everyone was amazed at the rates to rent the ute as I was picking up furniture to furnish my new place in Perth. I was very happy with the company. I would recommend to be very precise with times at airports as this will ensure the best rate for you in terms of carparking. Once I understood their system (drop off the cars in the short term carparking and leave keys in safe inside car as close as possible to the mentioned time) I made sure to communicate directly with the agency about times on the day to reconfirm. Great communication when there was a pbm (like not enough ropes in my case to secure loads). Super friendly team...very impressed.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great service, new cars, and very helpful after an accident
After shopping around for car rentals in Perth in October 2016, and finding good reviews for Burswood we booked a two-week rental online. Upon arrival at the Perth depot, we were pleasantly greeted by Jason and JP and quickly shown to our car (a very new, compact Hyundai). We had no problems at all with the rental. Near the end of the rental, however, we had a fender rub in a parking lot. When we called the office to report it, they gave us some simple instructions and they took a deposit for the damage (which turned out to be nothing on our ca...Read more
r, and some scraped paint on the other). When they took the deposit, they said they would refund the difference between the deposit and the actual charges (they predicted that the charges would be much less than the deposit). A few weeks after, we contacted them again and they said the difference would be returned the following day, which turned out to be true! Throughout that stressful period, they were very helpful, very sympathetic and honest. We were very happy with our experience with Burswood, and rented from them again a few weeks later. We would highly recommend Burswood for rentals in Perth.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

No issues
Online booking system was easy, price was reasonable for under 25 years.
The car I received was brand new, great quality and there was absolutely no issues upon return of the vehicle.
I'll definitely be using the company again.
