I booked a Toyota Prado but ended up with an Isuzu MU-X, a diesel vehicle with over 50,000 kilometers. It was okay, fully functional, and a 4WD, but it felt different from the vehicle I originally reserved. In the future, I'd be cautious about choosing options labeled as 'same group'.
To avoid disputes, we bought full insurance. We were careful drivers and had no issues, so we didn’t interact much with the rental company. On the pick-up day, we signed a contract, and they held a deposit of around 61 NZD, which was refunded about three to four days after returning the car. It was rather smooth, and I think the full insurance played a big role.
Too many hidden charges. They originally said the upgrade would be $15 per day, but it ended up being $70 per day. Typical extortion. There's no use in complaining afterwards. I highly do not recommend using third-party platforms for renting cars; they offer no real value as middlemen.
Terrible experience for dropping off the car. Staff was not present at drop off location at business hours. And the person that received the keys at the car park did not make a proper inspection and did not provide paperwork to ensure smooth hand-over.
Now they claim that the windshield is cracked despite of the fact that we have comprehensive proof of the condition in which the car was handed over. This process has been long and tedious and the Budget staff did not take anything in their own hands, referring us immediately to their insurance company where we had to start explaining the situation from the beginning. They keep insisting that we are responsible. We have full insurance bought through easy rent cars but it is not fair that we are made responsible for something we did not do.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
Booking platform works well and customer service is fair and quick. Haven't gone through the process of claiming back to the insurance bought through them, so can't give my opinion on that regards yet.
Terrible rental company, misleading consumers and charging hidden fees. They said $65, but I found a $76 charge on my bank statement. Customer service just said the actual amount is what counts. Why not charge a million? The car wasn't even the model I booked, very small and cheap.
After getting off the plane, I communicated, signed, and got the car keys before picking up my luggage. Following the ground signs, I found the car and set off!
The process was quite convenient. You just need to drop the key in the small house at the exit when returning the car. The road assistance is just a card with a contact number, costing 10 NZD/day, which I found useless and a waste of money. Because traveling to Milford Sound requires you to rent snow chains, you have no choice but to rent them for 12 NZD/day. If the store doesn't explicitly say you need to rent them, don't bother.
“Car rental was very good.
Hybrid car was great.

About Budget:10.0/10
I was worried about checking car for damage at pick up, as it was raining and hard to check .
I did take photos.
Luckily we had a short trip this time and I took care of th e car.
I was given a hybrid car and it was very good.
