No Chinese service at pickup, making communication difficult, especially when dealing with accidents. There is Chinese service at dropoff, making it simpler.
“Service Rep is not cautious about customer’s flight time.”
About MODE:7.0/10
I made two car rental reservations with mode during my visit to New Zealand.
One was at Queenstown from 4/19 to 4/27 and the other was at Auckland from 4/27 to 4/30.
I am not sure what’s mode’s standard SOP to check return car. When we picked up the car on 4/19 at Queenstown, we were told that as long as we return the car at 8:30am, they will send shuttle to take us to the airport immediately. We arrived at 8:20 but could only wait till customer service rep to open the door at 8:30 sharp. He took more than 20 photos of the car, then drive the car to the parking lot (when I thought he was doing a test drive.) Then he returned to the front door where we waited, said he would ask his colleague to take us to the airport. We waited a few more minutes, just to find him chatting with the guy at back door….
We almost missed the deadline to check in luggage if our flight to Auckland was not delayed. I must say the experience was extremely awful!
On the other hand, when we returned the car at Auckland, the Service Rep didn’t take any single photo of the car!
The pick-up and drop-off process is very convenient, all within the airport. The car provided was a new one with only 16,000 kilometers on it, and the condition was excellent.
The overall process was simple, the staff at the pickup location provided clear directions, and we got an upgraded hybrid car which was very stable to drive.
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.
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.
