It was a alright experience. The only thing was that there was a hidden cost for bond which was not mentioned when we were booking the rental. Also we were told of a Toyota Yaris but ended up getting a different car. Maybe the online system needs to be updated. But over all it was alright thanks for the rides.
First, I want to say I'll never choose this company again just to save a few bucks. I rented an SUV during my trip to Queenstown and had a minor collision, nothing serious. A Rental told me the estimated repair cost for the two cars involved was 3000 NZD. Even though repair costs in Queenstown are high, this is five times more expensive than Auckland. When I asked for a detailed cost estimate, they couldn't provide one. But that's not the main issue; it's their attitude. After the accident, they didn't fully assist me. When I asked for help with the cost estimation, they said they had no time. As an international student with no experience, I raised my voice a bit, and they threatened to call the police. I didn't even curse, yet they accused me of being emotional. It's natural to be upset when dealing with such unhelpful service after an accident on a trip. Had they been helpful, I would have been grateful and wouldn't have raised my voice. Everything would have been much smoother. Also, their response time is terribly slow. They didn't contact the third party for a whole day, so I handled it myself. It's been two days now, and they still haven't told me the repair cost. Please, improve your efficiency. I've experienced firsthand what it means when they say Chinese people take advantage of other Chinese people.
Excellent, courteous service. This company has a very small staff (only 1-2 on call at any given time) so it will take a while to get your car if there is someone else also picking up a car. Worth the wait IMO. The car we received felt relatively new (75K km Toyota small sedan) and ran very well.
My only complaint is that it was unclear how/where to pick up the car. I didn't know that the office is off-site by about 5 minutes (not walkable). Fortunately I took a screenshot of the reservation and called the listed phone number; it took a couple of tries to reach someone but then they told me they would come pick me up. Even after calling, the pick up location was very unclear and I had no idea what kind of van/vehicle to look for. Once we were there, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. Very happy with my choice to go with Discount Car Rentals!
Overall - excellent value for the money! Will definitely rent from them again next time I'm in Queenstown!

Excellent customer service. Ben picked us up from the airport. Took us smoothly through the process. Gave us ideas on what to do in Queenstown. When dropping the vehicle off there was no hassle. Ben took us back to the airport. He was very well mannered and professional. Gave us a good start and ending to our trip. I run my own business and believe that customer service is the most important. The car had a few dents and scratches. However it was great to drive. We had no issues with the performance of the vehicle. I would recommend this company to anyone. They were very easy to deal with. What you need when you're on holiday. Well done.
