Local Rent car hire reviews

Local Rent is a different proposition from the big international brands. Instead of one uniform corporate experience, it often reflects smaller regional operators, local fleets, and more flexible market-by-market availability. That can be a strength if you want sharper pricing, local knowledge, or a vehicle class the majors do not prioritise. It can also mean quality is less standardised and due diligence matters more. Our verdict: Local Rent can be a smart option for travellers who are comfortable reading local reviews, checking damage carefully, and treating each destination as its own market rather than expecting chain-level consistency. The reviews below are the key filter: they show whether Local Rent feels genuinely helpful and good-value where you need it, or simply less predictable than the larger rivals.

Tivat, Montenegro

Hassle-free pickup at Tivat for our weekend trip

We chose Local Rent for a quick weekend break in Montenegro, landing at Tivat Airport. The process was surprisingly smooth compared to some horror stories I've read about other agencies in the region. The representative was waiting for us at the arrivals hall, so there was no queue at all. They did ask about extra insurance coverage, which I expected, but they accepted my refusal without any drama or hard upsell. We got a Hyundai i20 that was a bit dusty on the outside but ran perfectly for the coastal drive. Getting the deposit hold released was straightforward when we returned the car. Overall, a reliable choice if you want a simple rental without hidden fees.
