The car was just what we needed. We love having a hybrid for travelling, they work just as well as anything else. Plenty of room and so economical. The guy whom we dropped the car off to was a great guy who was really friendly ....just the person you need as your front person.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
They were very helpful when I couldn't find out booking the person whom I got in touch with sent me an email in no time to confirm our booking. Great service also
Overall, it was quite convenient and the condition of the car was good. I was quite satisfied with the entire process. When returning the car, I saw another domestic tourist who seemed to have had an accident. I overheard something about a lawyer, which made the situation seem unpleasant. The handling did not seem very appropriate. If you're not a local, you might find yourself in a difficult situation.

About Bargain Rental Cars:5.0/10
I rented there because of high rating to do with customer service. But the vehicle was really awful and when I called for help mid-rental the staff were utterly unhelpful.
The store provided the wrong vehicle model during pickup, but after communicating with QEEQ, the issue was quickly resolved. Although it took some extra time, the overall experience was very good. QEEQ responded promptly and resolved the issue efficiently.
Car was pretty old, with 160,000 miles on it. All four tyres were low and had to be pumped up. The paint on the hood and roof was mostly worn off. Mechanically it was fine.
Car was advertised as a "6-person minivan" -- but it was far smaller than I had expected. I would call it a station wagon, not a minivan at all.
I talked with BRC about exchanging it, and they were not interested. They only offered to have me pay 3x as much for a full-size van. They would not allow me to return the car early so I could rent from elsewhere.
About QEEQ:7.0/10
Because rental was pre-paid, BRC would not change my reservation.
The service and management of this car rental company can be described as extremely poor:
1. When picking up the car after the flight landed, the time was outside the store's 'business hours' marked on the order. As instructed by the order, I contacted a third-party service company, but they said they couldn’t find my order and suggested I directly call the store, as it might not have closed yet. I spent almost an hour making countless calls to the store but couldn’t get through. Even after contacting the car rental company’s headquarters through the booking platform, they were unable to reach the store and couldn’t clarify whether the store had closed or not. Feeling desperate, I wondered whether I was calling incorrectly, so I asked a local to try making several calls for me, and finally got through. Someone eventually came to pick me up, and it turned out the store only had one staff member handling everything—pickup, paperwork, and vehicle returns—no wonder they couldn’t answer the phone in time. You can imagine my frustration being held up like this, especially since I was charged an extra fee for 'after-hours pickup' when I booked. If it was indeed within regular working hours, shouldn’t I get a refund?
2. To be fair, the staff attitude during pickup and drop-off was quite good, the typical friendliness of Kiwis. However, a major problem arose: I explicitly stated during pickup that I didn’t want to purchase additional insurance, and my prepaid booking clearly included full insurance provided by the rental company. Additionally, I had already completed the online check-in and signed the documents the day before pickup as instructed in their email. Despite this, the rental company added an extra insurance plan to my booking when I picked up the car (the payment hadn’t been deducted at pickup but charged against my deposit upon return). They refused to refund, claiming I had signed in agreement (they referred to the online check-in signature from the previous day, not anything signed on the pickup day itself). This ridiculous error dragged on for nearly a month without resolution, leaving me utterly exasperated. Eventually, the booking platform intervened to settle the issue for me.
In summary, I would avoid this rental company at all costs. Proceed with caution.
