BGS & Son is a small car rental company based in the often inconveniently located Rose Bay, Sydney, NSW. Despite claiming to offer luxury vehicles, their fleet consists mainly of commonly seen models like BMW M2, M3, M4 and 420 convertibles, Audi RS Q3, Porsche Macan S, and Mercedes CLA, which may not meet all customers' expectations. The cars are reportedly hand-washed and serviced, but some customers have noted inconsistent maintenance standards. Pricing is often not competitive, with limited genuine discounts despite claims of offers for extended hires. Bookings through Turo can be confusing and prone to delays. Their support for event hires and flexible payment plans is minimal and can be unreliable. The Artarmon showroom is available but inconveniently located for most longer term rental customers. Pickups can be delayed and transport options from Sydney Airport and surrounding public transport are less efficient than suggested.

  • - Limited luxury options, with overused models and questionable exclusivity
  • - Maintenance and cleanliness standards vary and are not consistently reliable
  • - Pricing is often higher than competitors with misleading discount claims
  • - Booking process via Turo is complicated and prone to issues
  • - Event hire support and payment plans lack flexibility and dependability
  • - Locations for pickup and longer term rentals are inconvenient and poorly coordinated

Yo, BGS & Son got me cruisin', but could be faster on pickup

Props to BGS & Son for the decent whip. Had no major probs rollin’ around town. But dude, waiting at pickup was kinda whack, felt like forever. Staff cool but gotta speed up that process, ya know? Otherwise, solid rental spot for the price!

Friendly staff and no-nonsense process made the trip simple

What I liked about BGS & Son is their straight-up approach. Booking was quick, staff were warm, and the entire procedure was smooth with no hidden fees. The car drove nicely and gave me no stress during my stay. Will keep them in mind next trip.

Reliable rides with BGS & Son but room for improvement

I rented a car from BGS & Son last month. The vehicle was generally clean and well-maintained, but the pick-up process took longer than expected, which put a damper on my schedule. Customer service was polite but seemed a bit overwhelmed. Overall a decent service, though I hope they improve efficiency in the future.

Great value for small trips, friendly team helped a bunch

BGS & Son gave me a solid deal for my weekend road trip. The team was super friendly and helped me pick the perfect car for city and countryside driving. No hiccups and an overall pleasant way to rent. I’d recommend them for short term rentals.

Professional service, but the vehicle selection was limited

The rental process at BGS & Son was professional and the staff courteous. However, I was a bit let down by the lack of variety in the car models available, limiting choices according to my preferences. Still, the car I drove was fine and served its purpose.

Car was clean but not well maintained, some small issues found

The car I rented was reasonably clean but I noticed some issues like faulty dashboard lights and slightly worn tires. Though nothing critical, it left me a little uneasy. Customer service acknowledged my concerns but didn't offer much resolution.

Decent overall, but insurance options weren't clearly explained

My rental was fine, car worked okay with no major issues. However, I found the insurance terms confusing and not well explained by the reps. Ended up paying for extra coverage I wasn’t sure I needed. Better communication in this area would improve the experience.

Booking and pickup were quick, but the car lacked some comforts

The process was efficient and straightforward which I appreciated, but the rented car was a bit barebones. No tech features or comfy touches you'd expect nowadays. It did the job, just wished for a bit more comfort for longer drives.

BGS & Son's service was meh, took too long and felt unorganized

Seriously, wasted a lot of time getting my rental sorted. Staff seemed disorganized and slow, which made me stress when I had tight plans. The car itself was okay, but the overall experience was below par compared to other rental companies I've used.

Exceeded my expectations with a smooth rental and helpful service

BGS & Son provided a very smooth experience. From online booking to drop-off, everything was seamless. The car was immaculate and reliable. The staff was very accommodating when I needed assistance. I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout my rental period.

Aight car rental, but BGS & Son’s pick-up spot is kinda sketchy

Car ran alright but the pick-up location was in a dodgy area, making me real uncomfortable. Also, the handover was rushed. Not the vibe I want when renting a car, plus the customer service felt indifferent. Won't rush back to BGS anytime soon.

Decent rental despite minor hiccups, would consider again

Had some minor issues like delayed response time and a slightly dusty interior, but nothing that ruined the trip. The car was reliable and got me where I needed quickly. A decent option if you can overlook small bumps in customer service.

Not impressed, car had multiple issues during our rental

Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The car broke down twice and it felt unsafe at times. The rental staff was slow to respond to my concerns, which added to the frustration. I expected better reliability and support from BGS & Son.
