Very dissatisfied. I rented a car for a month and there was a free ferry service that they didn't mention. I found out later and told the rental company they should inform customers in advance. What kind of nonsense is this? No one would know unless you say something. It's all just a play on words. Ridiculous. The car rental platform also played the blame game and sent many emails that were a waste of time and did nothing useful. Extremely disappointing! As a platform, if you can't secure benefits for your customers, you should cover those costs instead of ignoring the issue!
No service, just normal interaction! Can the car be in worse condition? Over 200,000 kilometers and the left side mirror and gas cap have spider webs. The doors won't even open, I have to climb in through the passenger side to open the driver's door! The fuel tank was only half full, and the boss said it's fine to return it with the same amount of fuel... The most absurd thing was returning the car. When we arrived at the store, there was no one there. We called, and they told us to wait. The store arranged the cheapest Uber to take us to the airport! This was definitely the worst car rental experience I've ever had.
Due to business trips, I frequently use car rental services, but I will never use this company again, even if the prices are very cheap. There are too many hidden charges. Firstly, the front desk staff deliberately slowed down their work because I didn't buy the insurance they recommended, and they found various excuses not to give me the keys. When returning the car, they told me that the front windshield had some scratches and asked me to pay for it. After cleaning the windshield with water, I found it was just dirt and not really damaged, but then they started finding other problems. Such disgusting service is really frustrating. The tricks are too many, with lots of hidden charges, and they even justifying it by saying it's just business. It's very obvious they are trying to rip off customers.
Let me talk about this car rental experience. Rented two cars on May 21st, and one of them had a flat tire shortly after. We replaced the tire ourselves, and the next day, they gave us a different car, but my credit card was charged 500 NZD. We had purchased full insurance but received no timely response upon our return.
Additionally, when booking, it was clearly stated that the rental company would cover the transition fee for the vehicle, but they refused to provide this. The car we picked up was different as well.
About the car itself, the battery died the next day, so we spent the whole morning without playing around, then got a replacement car with a broken door.
Trust me, don't rent from this platform. We rented three cars, and two had issues.
The reason the price is cheap is that they are very old cars that you could buy locally for 3000 NZD, yet they're renting them out for thousands. The service is unreliable, and the condition of the cars is concerning, not to mention your safety. You'll likely spend most of your time dealing with repairs and replacements.
And then, dealing with the insurance afterwards is a continuous hassle.
Let me share my experience renting a car this time.
On May 21, we rented two cars, one of which had a flat tire shortly after. We changed the tire ourselves, and the next day we were given a replacement car. However, my credit card was charged 500 NZD. We bought full insurance but haven't received any resolution yet.
Additionally, when booking, it was clearly stated that the car rental company would cover the transition fee, but they refused to provide it. The car we picked up was also different from what was promised.
As for this car, the battery died the next day and we had to spend a whole morning before getting a replacement. Then, the door of the new car was broken.
Believe me, you should avoid renting cars from this platform. Out of the three cars we rented, two had issues.
The reason for the cheap price is that these are very old cars, which you can buy locally for 3000 NZD, and they rent these to you at a high price. The service is unreliable, and the car conditions are worrying. Not to mention your safety. You will most likely spend your time dealing with car repairs and replacements.
And then you continuously deal with insurance hassles upon returning.
Poor, really very poor. I was supposed to pick up the car at 11 am, I arrived at 10:30 am and no one was there. I have a video as evidence. Someone showed up at around 11:10 am, and then they told me my credit card couldn’t be processed for the security deposit, so I couldn't get the car. It was past 11 am, so I couldn't cancel the reservation. I arrived at 10:30 am, how is that my fault? The rental company didn’t respond at all. I seriously suspect they are colluding. I’m planning to file a complaint with the authorities when I return to my country.
I booked a Toyota Yaris, and I can understand getting a car from the same category, but giving me an old Tiida with over 160,000 kilometers on it is unacceptable. Plus, it had three regular tires and one spare tire, and the accelerator was very loose. What's worse, by the end of the rental period, the brakes also became loose and I had to press them all the way down to stop. Initially, I requested a car change via WeChat and got a reply after 4-5 hours saying that there were no available cars for a swap due to high demand. I will definitely not rent from this company again. An additional $50 was charged for after-hours pickup. Which rental company charges extra for that?
There were issues while refueling the car. The pump kept shutting off, and fuel splashed all over me. Because of this, it was impossible to tell when the tank was full. I'm glad I only rented the car for two days. Overall, it was a very disappointing rental experience. Just sharing my honest feedback (negative review).
