It was raining for most of the time in Queenstown and couldn’t help but notice that the wiper blades may need to be changed soon as it somehow makes a bit of a smudge on some parts already but nonetheless had a great experience and will be renting again with you guys.
I arrived at the ZQN Thrifty counter as advised and our flight was delayed by 7 hours. I had called and advised the counter staff of this prior.
When I arrived, a family were dropping off their key and three staff were on the counter. One was talking to the customer about their holiday and 2 were completing invoices of some description from the EFT-POS receipts of the day.
Neither acknowledged my presence or stopped their task to assist me and my booking for a good 5-10 minutes. Then just as it was wrapping up, a person waiting behind me pushed in and the lady who was talking to the other customer took him first. She could see I was visibly upset by and did attempt a silent apology, but I was furious as I had already been waiting patiently and someone who barges in was given priority. In addition when I was receiving my car paperwork, I was advised we had been upgraded from a compact car to an SUV - I was happy with the car we ended up with, but shocked to learn of my booking being classed as a 'compact' as even on this website page it states 'intermediate' So I was shocked to learn we could have ended up with a compact car which is not what we ordered.
The staff was very polite. The store is shared with Thrifty; the sign outside says Thrifty, but there is a small Dollar sign on the counter which is not very obvious. Be sure to look carefully.
“Easy rental process - exceptionally disappointing upsell from counter staff”
About Dollar:9.3/10
I was very disappointed that the dollar counter staff tried selling me insurance again even after I explained that I had purchased this through easy rent cars. He told me a number of times that I wasn’t actually insured when in fact I was, just not through them. I think that the insurance process is misleading for customers, and most people would just listen to what the staff member was selling and take it. Resulting in a double up of insurance. Not impressed about that process and glad I understand it now for future.
“Rental car service was a bargain compared to other providers.”
About Dollar:8.7/10
Car wasn’t clean when we received it and also made a noise when we applied the brake. Other than that it was a modern vehicle and well priced compared to other Queenstown options.
Absolutely misleading of information. I was expecting to get at least a sedan car. I have been handed a hatchback cheap car which I can rent out cheaper what I have paid for. They suppose to give me Toyota Corolla or similar which based on the picture it should be a sedan, not a hatchback. Staff was from thrifty was laughing at us and felt insulted. Never will hire from them.
