Local Rent car hire reviews

5 reviews
4.6

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.

Bali, Indonesia

Bali city pickup: local agency, great value

Skipped the international brands and went local. Scruffy office, spotless car, half the price. Delivered to the hotel with a full tank. Would repeat.

Tivat, Montenegro

Tivat city pickup — tiny town, surprisingly smooth

Small pickup point but staff knew what they were doing. Great starting point for the Bay of Kotor. Car was newer than expected.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik city pickup — worth skipping the airport counter

Picked up near the old town, avoided the airport queue entirely. Car was clean, staff were relaxed. Returned it with no drama.

Bali, Indonesia

Bali Local Rent beats expectations on flexibility

A small local operator delivered a tidy Avanza, adjusted pickup timing after our flight delay, and only asked that we document existing scratches carefully — refreshingly straightforward in a market full of surprises.

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.
