We picked up the car at 7 PM. The inspection was very casual, some scratches could only be seen using our own flashlight. There were obvious scratches on the back of the car, and if we hadn't carefully checked, the inspection staff would have ignored them. Later, we discovered a small rim scratch and were told to refer to the contract; anything not recorded was our responsibility.

The car had numerous small scratches and was very old when picked up. After contacting the company staff, we parked the car in the designated spot the night before and took photos as required (photos taken at return were uploaded, showing no damage as indicated by the rental company). The next day, without any notification, we were charged over 1400 NZD for alleged windshield damage. Since we purchased a super insurance, we are now filing a claim. This experience was terrible compared to our previous rentals with Yesway and Thrifty on the South Island!

This was a very disappointing experience. The email describing Lovetrip’s address, phone number and location did not arrive until we had the car. Eventually we managed to contact the pick up location and given poor instructions resulting in a wait of over an hour and a half. The car itself was fine but when we returned it two hours before we were due to we asked to be taken to our overnight hotel instead of the airport as we had an early morning flight the next day. We were refused so we had to accept the drop off at the airport then get a taxi. The time to the airport was around 10 minutes, to our hotel around 20 minutes. Very disappointing!

Booking was ok but the airport pick up description was misleading and it should have been made clear what the shuttle service actually was. This aspect of the booking was very poor.

I had a surprise of having to put a $500 bond at the pickup. The was not detailed prior.

Great and will use it again

The contact number published on my booking documents did not work and the back up went to someone who was not at work. They gave me another number to ring which was ok. They were not clear on where to meet them at the airport which meant I walked around looking for the correct meeting place.
