Good

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.

It was so easy to pickup the car at Budget, being that the location was in terminal. This was key being that we arrived after 8:30pm, and was so convenient ! Everything went really well.

It was a flawless booking! Very easy, and the car was just perfect.

The booking process was easy, just wasn’t aware the car was at budget was looking for easy rent cars at airport, but when I call d the phone number they directed us to budget , then it was quick . The car was very clean fuel efficient just was a little smaller than expected more for small luggage . The drop off experience was excellent, I would definitely go with them again.

Easy booking , helpful when called , easy drop off at airport.

The car was shown on the handover sheet as having no damage. When I get to it the number plate is bent at 90 degrees one side and bent a bit at the other, ther is a large scrape on the splitter at the front, and other scratches on the car. The man on the desk did note them and said it would be fine and nothing was mentioned or has come up since the hand over.

Fairly straightforward and cheaper than going directly through them.
