NEW ZEALAND CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Location was easy to find and car in good condition

Like the selection of cars and value

Car provision and cost excellent. Customer service also excellent. Thanks.

Initial booking platform was a little confusing due to layout but after perseverance I was able to lock in the vehicle required and get an excellent deal with it too.

Topnotch easy communication. Very helpful and friendly staff.

yes would use again

easy process

Fantastic hire company have hired many but this is the best for value and choice of vehicles too very happy

All good no problems

I am still waiting on my bond to be refunded it has now been 4 business days and nothing has come through. I had a great experience with staff and picking up the car and dropping off but now that I am chasing my bond refund no one seems to be responding to my emails or getting back to me which is really disappointing

All good. They encouraged us to take photos of the vehicle which we did, and it is ESSENTIAL to have them when you return to prove minor dents were already on car.

All good

Next time in NZ I will definitely use DCR again. Cost & quality beats any if not all known car rental companies…

Easy & fast to book the car.

good

The car ran very well and very economical

All good

We were upgraded and it was a hybrid so great on gas.

Price drop protector didn't work but got an upgrade

As I stated above, the car given to us was smaller than what we booked. The counter staff members were not accommodative to our request for a slightly bigger car as we had more baggage, which was supposed to fit well in the car we had booked. Also, we had to pay a speeding fine of NZD 30 through SNAP that charged us NZD 50 as administrative charge, which was a rip off! The staff at the counter was not particularly friendly and took longer time to attend to me particularly when I returned the car.

Qeeq is a good platform that I use often. You need to evaluate your car rental partners more carefully, based on the customer feedback. My earlier experience in San Francisco was particularly bad and here again in New Zealand, the experience was SNAP was only average. Also, when most car service providers had offices within the Christchurch airport, SNAP had their office away from the airport. This required making a call to them on arrival at Christchurch airport for a pick up service, which means we had to wait for their pick up vehicle to arrive. This was time wasting and not convenient when you have more luggage with you.

For the price the car was good

Easy to use

Very disappointed about all the hidden costs. Extra costs to reduce the amount held as bond on your credit card. Extra costs to sort tolls. Extra costs for after hours drop off. Will never use this discounted car hire again because of this. Will go with a reputable company based at the airport that has an all inclusive price.

Apex is fine

Counter staff lovely, I didn't have a credit card, only debit so there was a holding fee of $400 which was fine.

Fine

Very disappointed that Tesla not available! The excuse Hertz gave is arbitrarily wrong. Should take Tesla off the orders if they have sold them all. Highly recommend the polestar, if a Tesla is not available. Prefer a Tesla

Well done! Best bargain hire ever!

Was raining lightly when we picked the car up, so going over it for damage was a little difficult. Not used to online signing, being 70+ we're old school. Drop off was a breeze and the lady was extremely helpful and very pleasant to deal with. The shuttle to the airport was great.

In hindsight, i probably should have organised the insurance bit before picking up the car.

I recently rented a car with Arentals and received an upgrade to a Toyota Rav4, which was a nice surprise. The car was smooth and enjoyable to drive, and I didn’t experience any mechanical issues. There were a few noticeable scratches on the exterior, and the windshield wipers seemed like they needed a bit of maintenance, but otherwise, the car was in good shape. Unfortunately, my experience with the incident handling process was less positive. I reported a minor incident that I estimated should cost around $200 to resolve, yet Arentals blocked $2500 on my credit card. This felt excessive. Additionally, the claims process seems quite lengthy—they informed me it could take 2-3 weeks to complete, and they would only send me an invoice at the end. I think a faster, more transparent claims process would really enhance the customer experience. Overall, I enjoyed the car but was disappointed by the high hold and extended claim process

The car was better than I expected. It was hybrid so I saved money in gasoline

Please keep lower prices than the rest of rental cars
