Budget is really disappointing. When returning the car, I was told to leave the keys in the car. I asked if I needed to go to the office for any procedures and the staff said no. Three days after returning to my country, I received an email claiming that I damaged the bumper and they need to make a claim. I returned the car around 12:50, but the photo showing the damaged bumper was taken around 19:40, a gap of seven hours. Why didn't they say there was an issue when I returned the car, but took a photo seven hours later and claimed I did it? Although I had full insurance, it wasn’t our fault and I don’t want to be unjustly charged. This was my first time driving abroad and didn't have experience. I was in a hurry and didn't take photos when returning the car. This rental experience was really terrible.

Terrible rental company When picking up the car, they just printed out the contract for you to sign without mentioning the additional insurance options, forcing you to pay extra. Afterwards, you'll be charged additional insurance fees! Also, there are no gas stations near the airport, so you need to return the car with a full tank. Please 'prepare a small fuel container' with 1 liter of fuel, and manually add it to the tank when returning the car to avoid extra fuel charges! A very petty company.

Excellent service with a great SUV

Picked up the car at Auckland International Airport. The car had just over 50,000 kilometers on it, a diesel Toyota Prado, which I drove all the way to Wellington. There are two ferry companies for crossing to the South Island, we chose Bluebridge Ferry, whose departure point is near the train station in the city center, which made returning the car inconvenient. The return point was at the other ferry company, so we had to unload our luggage first and then return the car. There was no staff at the return location, so we just dropped the key in the key box. After the ferry ride, we picked up the second car, another Prado, at the Picton pickup point. This one was newer, with only 10,000 kilometers on it. The diesel Prado was really great. We drove for a total of 19 days without any issues. Finally, we returned the car at Christchurch Airport, where the office was staffed. They just checked if the fuel was full, and that was it.

Staff in Auckland is very good But the one in Picton is not as friendly as the one in Auckland. And also, the car we pick-up in Auckland is good, but the conditions of the Picton one could be better.

Very good Especially the rebook service
