we would hire again

Satisfied

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.

Excellent!

Picked up at the airport and taken to the store. They said there was a free upgrade, but then there were so many steps to go through: watching videos, taking tests, even a test drive. When I finally got the car, it was a very old Highlander, with maintenance records showing it was at least from 2010 and nearly 170,000 km on the odometer. I had booked a 2016-2018 RAV4. How is this considered an upgrade? The store staff were Chinese, the woman was around 30 and very argumentative, saying the rental order received only indicated an SUV, not the car's age. She told me to either take the car or cancel. She also said that if the car couldn't be driven due to personal reasons, the rental company wouldn't provide a replacement and wouldn't refund the rent. I pointed out that this was unfair, especially since I had full insurance. If I had an accident right after driving out, would those days be wasted? She was very unhappy and said we wouldn't rent to you if you couldn't accept this. I've driven over 200,000 to 300,000 km, have experience with right-hand drive, and never had an accident, but this is a principle issue. I have never encountered such unreasonable behavior. Potential customers, be aware and prepared. PS, another young girl at the store had a better attitude. I left something in the car when returning it, and she kindly brought it to the airport for me, which I really appreciated.

Car was old, very high mileage 162k Back bumper held on by black tap, big dent in the roof, front bumper coming away from bodywork lots of small dent and scratches, radio only worked on right hand speaker. Basically car should not be used for rental. $2,500 deposit left for any damages was more than what the car was worth
