CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON LOVETRIP AT AUCKLAND AIRPORT, AKL

Great value and good service including helping with the bags and kids.

The worst car rental experience I have never had. Picked up car and noticed 4 damages on the car which are not noted on the report, although those damages are not major, they are still obvious to see. I took photos of the damages I can see. Unfortunately, I missed a tiny stain like dent in the windscreen, it was 7 o'clock at night when I picked the car up and the windscreen is somewhat dirty with water stain because of the rain. With normal eyesight, I wouldn't even see the dent. Surprisingly, when the owner checking the car on our return, within less than half minute, he walked around the car, didn't even mention the other obvious damages which I took photos already, but went straight to the dent and spotted it up accurately in HEAVY POURING RAIN!! I have to say he must have a kind of special power to see it through the heavy water, and wipe water off exactly the area where the dent is. Even after he told me the exist of the dent, it is no way for us to find it until he found a towel to dry the area up, and I have to lean as closer as I can to the windscreen (less then 10 cm) to tell if it's a stain or dust. I felt I was totally tricked for money. I have asked the owner to fix the dent and charge me with the receipt, this was to make sure he is not using this dent again to trick other innocent people. However he charged $102 right after we left, I still have not received receipt showing dent is fixed. If you are using this company, make sure you don't pick up car after 6 pm in dark, you have to spend time check extremely carefully, wipe the windscreen while you checking. Totally ridiculous dishonest people just wanting more money. I have been renting cars travelling all over the world in past 20 years, never had any issue. This is a lesson for me indeed! I have taken some photos of the dent, but can't even tell where the dent is when I come back and looked. (not obvious enough for camera to pick it up).

Car was in excellent condition and service is exceptional..A++++

Waiting for pick up 25 minutes after call pickup person don’t know how to talk even was very rude ! I am hiring car almost every week will never recommend or book again lovettip

Excellent in everything

Car was broken when it’s given to us on the first day and there was no other car can be replaced. The car was temporary fixed so we drove it home and found it still broken the next day which caused we are unable to use this car for the entire trip! Lovetrip doesn’t willing to provide full refund but only accept to refund first 2 days after several requests.

I had a surprise of having to put a $500 bond at the pickup. The was not detailed prior.

Great and will use it again

A definite rip off for scratching the wheel. Charged me $230 for repairing two scratches

I felt wronged because in the return was asked a damage to the wheel that I did not and later charged to my credit card (value of NZ$ 138.00). They simply sent a document (like a repair company) from Lovetrip itself with the cost of repairing to wheel.

How do I proceed in this case?

The contact number published on my booking documents did not work and the back up went to someone who was not at work. They gave me another number to ring which was ok. They were not clear on where to meet them at the airport which meant I walked around looking for the correct meeting place.

Pickup was only problem. Van does not have any logo ! This is a must!! Not everyone has access to a phone straight off the plane.

I need the license plate number for the car I picked up April 15 in order to pay a toll road charge. I didn't receive any paper work on the car when rented. Dave Thorne

I rented a very nice car, for a very low rate. But when I called to inquire about a rental extension, I received an email quote for 5x the daily rate of what I previously paid online. When I replied to the email with the quote, I received an automated response entirely in a foreign language. I found that to be a bit frustrating.

Very easy, clear, and affordable! Will get my business from now on.

Basically its a company that going to get insurance money... It's a cheating.. Trouble...

The car was exa tly as described. Very clean also. Smooth pick up and drop off process. The only 2 things i didnt like is the charge for being 30min late on dropoff was half the amount we paid for the 10 days rental. Also they hold a charge on your credit card for the deposit which is reversed on dropoff however i am now having issues with the bank as to where that is. Ive always hated deposits on a credit card. I rather give cash and get cash back on return

Very good

The car was not so new but no problem to drive. The car-audio had no USB connector to play music via iPod/iPhone.CD/MD/Radio Only.

Very good service, quick pick up from the airport after calling them. Process to hire was simple. Very good value for money for 1 day rental.

Totaly, its cheep and good. They pick us up from airport. When return, they take us to hostel near office, because our flight is eary morning. One thing, we could not use USB charger. Cigar socket is broken. We realized it on second day so we just call them and we talk about it and cost on the day we return. they said sorry. But no refound. They said they dont extra charge us anything on it. Ofcouse! Its not our falt. We need to ask every hostel everynight to borrow us the charger. Its uncomfortable very much. The last day, we expected that they offer some but they did not. So we rate two down. On The other way. We left a baby shoe under the sheet when we return. So we call them and ask to check it. They could find it kindly. We had no way to visit office, so we ask them to bring it to our hostel. On the answer, it seems difficult, but they manage it and bring it back to us. So rate is up.

Great car that was easy clean and easy to drive. I was given a bigger car than I booked which was very useful for us. Lovetrip offices are located about 5-10 minutes drive from the airport. The owner/manager picked us up from the terminal and drove us to the office - although we waited about 25mins for him to pick us up (we waited outside the terminal, and he was inside the terminal). So our advice would be very clear about where to meet him.

The staff were excellent. Top quality service . I highly recommend this company. Great car and great experience.

Great web site and easy to use.

I’m very grateful for your service and the car went well. I found communication a little challenging over the phone as I had to clarify my change of circumstances during a stressful situation. Please continue to improve your English to avoid this for future clients. I was also very surprised to receive a call from Washington DC about my booking...

Very easy to book though this platform and will use it amongst other tools when looking for rentals in the future.
