in Sengiggi, it was about 5 years ago & the agents were outside the grocery store in the heart of Sengiggi, I would look for a car in Sengiggi rather than Mataram as from our experience Mataram seemed to be a shade seedy. The Balos will not generally recommend anything Lombokan as it means the money isn't being spent in Bali & also there is the "tribal/religion" aspect. Be very cautious on the open roads, as with Bali they dont mind overtaking on blind bends & hills so keep your wits about you.
