no the was as expected

all good

Let me share my experience renting a car this time. On May 21, we rented two cars, one of which had a flat tire shortly after. We changed the tire ourselves, and the next day we were given a replacement car. However, my credit card was charged 500 NZD. We bought full insurance but haven't received any resolution yet. Additionally, when booking, it was clearly stated that the car rental company would cover the transition fee, but they refused to provide it. The car we picked up was also different from what was promised. As for this car, the battery died the next day and we had to spend a whole morning before getting a replacement. Then, the door of the new car was broken. Believe me, you should avoid renting cars from this platform. Out of the three cars we rented, two had issues. The reason for the cheap price is that these are very old cars, which you can buy locally for 3000 NZD, and they rent these to you at a high price. The service is unreliable, and the car conditions are worrying. Not to mention your safety. You will most likely spend your time dealing with car repairs and replacements. And then you continuously deal with insurance hassles upon returning.

All encountered issues were addressed one by one.

Good discount option for hire car

The customer service team with this was extremely unprofessional - both in person as well as on the phone where communication was not clear and was difficult. After a 10 minute wait for pick up from the airport, 35 minutes was spent at the depot while the car was washed outside (it was not cleaned prior to our pick up) and the serviceman signing documentation with us made racist comments about others. Discount Car Rentals also stung with a $3000 bond that was not expressed clearly beforehand, especially when we had already covered $0 Excess insurance cover. Afterhours drop off was a breeze as it was with a 3rd party who were much more professional in their business, and we were able to complete drop off in less than 10 minutes.
