Shocking service

Rented in Cairns. Apex offers free baby seats which is very attractive to a young family. Car seats were not ready on arrival. The Kiwi lady who was the most senior staff member fitted the tWo baby seats in less than 2 minutes. When i went up to inspect them she poclaimed, "just remeber i am not a registered fitter". The seats could have been fixed with nothing but sticky tape they were that loose. I am not a safety nut but i have never seen anything like it....... after a heated arguement she ended up conceding one of the chairs was faulty but i stress.....If you have kids do not go with these guys!!! Customer service was appalling. One customer was forced to pay double the quoted price because he had a debit credit card. He kept saying that this is not an issue with any other hire service and is not made clear on the apex webpage When we checked the car in the man who drives you from the yard to the airport said they always have people who miss their flights becaus they are not aware the yard does not open until 8am. AVOID I

Brilliant service

In August I hired a Mitsubishi from Brisbane airport to Cairns airport using the 'works' package and was more than happy with the whole experience. The pickup from Brisbane airport was very efficient , the checkout from their garage not far away was fast and efficient. the sat nav supplied was excellent and the vehicle was brand new. At Cairns the hand back was swift with no problems and we were efficiently dropped off at the airport. I really liked the total transparency; no hidden credit card, temporary registration fees or any of the other rips that the bigger car hire firms rip off the customer with. Next time I'm in Oz I shall use Apex and I really recommend them.

One less headache...

We have used Apex a number of times when travelling back to NZ. There was no other choice when we found out they're up and running in Australia. No hidden extras and the website gives you 3 options before booking ie excess etc. Keep up the great work. Larry & Janine, Melbourne.

Nothing they could improve on

We have used Apex in New Zealand and found them completely hassle free. So when we got an email saying they were now in Australia and we were to visit family there we gave them a try. Quick and easy to navigate website some had us soon booked and sorted. At their Melbourne depot we soon had paid checked the car and were on our way. Both family members where added as additional drivers with a quick phone call. Easy after hours drop off and shuttle from local hotel. No hesitation in using Apex again as well as recommending them to friends and family. Bill & Rosalie

impecable service topped with a smile

being 3 weeks short of 25 not many car companies wanted to look at me unless they added around $20 p/day on top of the asking price, apex however gave me a good rate and didnt wack the surcharge on top. i really liked that they didnt take a holding fee either which can be troublesome if your on a budget. we were met with a smile and treated outstandingly. i would recommend apex to anyone, and will definitely be using them next time we need.

Excellent website, quoting/booking experience & prices.

Having spent a couple of hours on a couple of dozen websites looking for a hire car in Cairns, I absolutely recommend Apex. Not only were their prices significantly better than most, the experience on the website was efficient and clear - easily the best of the sites I visited. The quote facility was particularly good.

Outstanding in their field....

We used Apex rentals recently on our trip to the lucky country, my wife booked everything online ,wich was so painless. On our arrival we made the call and were picked up ,given our car and GPS and away we went, and on our return dropped the car off and we were delivered back to the airport. Absolutely amazing service and we intend to use Apex again next year on our return, thanks again to the staff at Apex for your help, you're all awesome. Stu and Jeanette Rusbatch New Zealand.

Fantastic experience

We were thrilled with our experience with Apex Brisbane. We hired an 8 seater Hyundai, which had a child and booster seat AND GPS included in the rental. From the moment we picked up the vehicle on 29 Jan this year until it was returned we were just so impressed. The shuttle service to and from the airport, the very plesant office staff, the very easy to understand rental agreement in plain language. We knew exactly what our responsibilities were and the companies. The vehicle was in excellent condition and was so suitable for the 4 adults and 2 children. And at last a website to hire the vehicle that didnt require a nerd to complete. If I would, anyone could. Thank Apex. We have told everyone of our experience with your company. I have no doubt business will come from some of those people, either here in NZ or when they go to Australia. Gerry WELLINGTON NZ

Apex leaves you with a sweet taste in the mouth

Won't bother looking up anyone else for the next trip. From internet booking to virtual signoff without having to print, sign, scan and send the agreement, to a friendly call just before starting the journey to ensure I know where to pick up the car after hours, to the excellent condition of the car, to charging just the right amount when I didn't return the car with tank full, Apex impressed me enough to write a review which I am otherwise too lazy to do

good rates, good cars, easy pick-up and drop-off

Latest model Hyundai Elantra was clean, comfortable, economical, and drove well. The shuttle bus pick-up and drop-off is easier than the usual system of doing it all at the airport where traffic is congested, signs are confusing and everyone is up tight. The GPS navigator was good, but I'm old fashionned and prefer a street directory.

Great rates, excellent service, simple plan...

I found Apex via an online search. First noticed the clear website and then was most impressed by the simple understanding of the rates and plans. No add-ons needed when you get to the desk on the ground - I went with The Works - full insurance coverage, GPS and Toll Tag. So simple. Airport pick-up was simple and a short ride to the office. Car was very nice. Everything as expected and advertised. Service was friendly and efficient. Return after hours was a bit more difficult, but it was ok and worked fine. I needed to leave early, so returned the car to parking facility who then shuttled me to the airport. A bit of a nervous moment when it seemed the parking facility was closed. But all worked out in the end. One thing - tell the driver how to attache the Toll Tag. It was obvious after I found the attachment, but it took a little bit to work it out. I came in from the US so I was unfamiliar with the system in Brisbane. Again, not a major point. I would recommend Apex and would definitely use them again.

Great Deal

I had not heard of Apex before, finding them via Google for Brisbane car hire, but would not hesitate to use them again. The website is clear, there were no hidden extras, the staff were helpful and professional and the car was virtually new. Good value all round. Well done Apex.
