Basic budget no frills rentals. Van I hired was not flash but ran perfectly with aircon too. Guy is very pleasant to deal with and didn't try any dodgy stuff. Building has literally no signage but Google maps indicates the location very accurately and the street is not long, so it isn't hard to find. One caveat if you are a Comm bank customer with a debit card, you will need to pay a $550 deposit and Comm bank can hold this pending transaction for up to 30 days. Though he put through the transaction as a 1 cent purchase (upon returning van) which should hopefully see it returned to me in 3 days. (edit: deposit returned to my account within 2 business days) Though I credit the guy for being completely honest about this up front. If you are looking for a valeted vehicle and frilly depot, go elsewhere. If you want to hire a van/small truck that works fine and is fairly cheap, go no further.

After being let down by another rental company , i stumble across Discount car and truck rental with a last minute request of a pantech truck. Luckily they happen to have one left. From the positive reviews i had read Aziz ( owner ) lived up to everyone of my expectations. The truck i had rented was about 10 years old , well maintained , was in good working order and rental was competitively price. I hadn't finish my move so i rang on Monday asking for a one-day extension and Aziz happily complied. Next day upon returning the truck Aziz gave me a 20% discount for the extra day hire which is always welcome and also got my bond refunded in cash. From start to finish It was a pleasure experience. Aziz operates a good honest business he is an asset to the local community. Would highly recommend thier vehicles and yes ill definitely be back.

THE OWNER OF THIS PLACE CALLED ME AND THREATEN ME IF I DIDN'T TAKE DOWN THIS POST, HE TOLD ME HIS WIFE WORKS FOR IMMIGRATIONS AND HE WAS GOING TO MAKE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL, HAD TO CALL THE POLICE AND MAKE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT AGAINST THIS INDIVIDUAL AND COMPANY! Worst service ever! Do not rent from this place... I book a truck a week in advanced and when we went to pick it up he didn't have it! He didn't call to tell us or even call the customer that had it until we got there. We had to waste the entire morning looking for another truck. He refused to take responsibility for his mistake too! DO NOT RENT FROM HERE!

  • Kerri Anton

The first time I went to this place it looked very shady and unsafe. Now, I won't rent a car anywhere else in Sydney. The rates are amazing, and the guy that runs the shop is very nice, sensible, and easy-going. I have rented cars for weekend trips to Canberra as well as just for a few hours for going into the suburbs and things. The cars were always clean and drove well. No muss or fuss, nothing really fancy, but absolutely served its purpose. I definitely recommend it.

  • littlepriddy

Quite disappointed that the person on the phone, assumed to be the owner, refused to procure the insurance policy, for my review, attached to the contracts before I signed the documents to hire a truck. Would have thought it a requirement by law to disclose this information, but apparently this individual thought that their verbal guarantee was enough. Sadly for them they won’t ever receive business from me or anyone I know who is looking for a truck hire service.

  • T Rennie

I am shocked to see such negative reviews. My wife and I have hired cars from this branch on several occasions and found the manager there to be polite and helpful every time we have been there. The prices are fair, the cars we use have always been clean and have no qualms about hiring from there in future. I was in the process of recommending a friend of mine to Discount and saw the first reviews and had to write of my experiences with the company.

  • Ruth Kerschbaumer

Terrible customer service, extremely rude and unfriendly. The address is not in Ultimo anymore - be aware. We started our holidays 2 1/2 hours later because we went to the wrong address that wasn't updated on their webpage. Not to forget that we took a cab there with our heavy bags and we had to walk to the new location in the heavy rain. We ended up being yelled at - it was apparently our mistake (...) I'd NEVER go there again

  • Ignacio Harris

We rent trucks from Nizzar very often, always have had good experience. The service is very straight forward, not like other companies where you hire a truck and last minute they charge you more or change the pick up location, and when you have an issue there is too much bureaucracy to deal with, instead the owner will be there to give you help and resolve any problem you have. Definitely recommended!

  • Ellen Liu

I rented a car from this Discount Car Rentals at Hudson st, the service provided was excellent, the car was great as well as the prices! Also very close to the train station. I had to wait couple of minutes until they sprayed the car for us as it was parked outside with little bit of tree leaf on it, other than that we got what we asked for the price we wanted!

  • Mark Adams

I would give 6 stars if I could!! Brilliant service again. I just rented a pantech truck for a big move. It's the fourth or fifth time to use this company over the last few years. I always check other companies and I always come back to Discount Car and Truck Rentals. Faultless service, flexible and fully informative and ...Excellent value!

  • MAKSUD Jamilov

We are a mattress manufacturer in sydney Waterloo. We rent trucks and Vans continuously on a weekly basis from different car rentals in sydney. From our experience we can say that this car rental offers very affordable and reasonable prices. They have good vehicles. They are reliable and easy to deal with. We certainly recommend them.

  • Man Luo

I recently hired a car from this guys and it was really good. Their service was helpful as to meet what i was searching for also with a really cheap price. I would recommend this car rental company as during my trip, i had a flat tire and when calling them, the road assistants arrived their shortly to help me out.

  • Ryan Henwood

Decent truck rental, the guy who organised everything was helpful and friendly. We got there just before 8am on a Saturday and there were a few people before us, so recommended that you get there atleast 20 mins before your estimated departure time. Truck worked well, easy to drive, lots of space.

  • Chiara with Rise Meta

Aziz is a total legend. This truck made a very strenuous move so much easier and the lifting mechanism at the back saved us!! The whole process of renting it was seamless and Aziz was very responsive and helpful. 10/10 recommend and will be back if I ever need a truck again!

  • Nick Angelucci (BBQAroma)

Truck rented did the job and I wasn't expecting latest or new. As their name suggests value for money vehicles located on a small corner spot off Crystal st with friendly and helpful service. Have rented from them on a few occasions being located in the Innerwest.

  • Pete Lead (Pete Lead)

I booked a truck for 2 days, but I finished the job early and returned it after 1 day. He refused to let me pay for the full 2 day hire, only charging me for what I used. The truck itself was great, a 3 tonne pantec which was clean and ran well.

  • Joey C

This place really come through for me when I needed most. The manager there went out of his way to meet my needs, when he didn't have to. If he happens to read this, I'll be back...you have created a loyal customer for your business. Thank you.

  • Kabir Hussain

  • John Chesher

Need a PanVan on a holiday Monday. They opened for us on the day and let me store my car in their protected yard til next morning. Inexpensive. Truck certainly ok for what we wanted. Good service. thank you.

  • nkassis1969

Have rented a cars and utes over the past few years from various suppliers, Found discount car rental in Redfern to be good value, easy to deal with and quite flexible compared to others.

  • Katie Rae Macpherson

Excellent service, they were really accommodating when I needed a car last minute and needed to extend an extra day. The price was affordable and the owner was a great guy.

  • Elle K

Worst experience. 3x trucks had major water leaks. Thanks to this I was unable to move houses in time. Sale man extremely arrogant will never hire from this place again.

  • Alex Nettleton

I feel like I could write a short story about how abysmal this business is. Far too many red flags to even mention, highly unprofessional and I would avoid at all costs.

  • laura crawley

These guys are horrible, please look elsewhere if looking to rent a car. They have so many hidden costs you are bound to pay more for the rental then advertised.

  • ELIAS NASSIF

Very clean, excellent service, very affordable prices, with a top location. One issue is that there are no signs to find the place, although easily noticeable.

  • Mark Gladden

Aziz seemed nice and all, but I reached out in mid November and he said they're booked until March. Not sure that's going to work for most people.
