We were able to pick up the vehicle on 07/03 that I had booked over an hour earlier than scheduled. Spoke to Karma and he organized the vehicle straight away a BMW iX3. The next day noticed that a front tyre had developed a bulge. Spoke to Karma at the Canberra Airport office and he arranged for a replacement car Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Extremely happy with the service provided. Good job Karma. Just waiting on the mandatory deposit to be paid back.

Fantastic customer service from victor car sorted within 5-10 minutes as we had a disaster from our flight being cancelled twice on us.
