Terrible rental company
When picking up the car, they just printed out the contract for you to sign without mentioning the additional insurance options, forcing you to pay extra.
Afterwards, you'll be charged additional insurance fees!
Also, there are no gas stations near the airport, so you need to return the car with a full tank.
Please 'prepare a small fuel container' with 1 liter of fuel, and manually add it to the tank when returning the car to avoid extra fuel charges!
A very petty company.
When picking up the car, the staff told me to return it with a full tank, and if not, they could refuel it for a price cheaper than outside. I returned it with a full tank, but they maliciously charged me for a full tank of fuel. I provided the fuel receipt and a photo of the fuel gauge, but they rejected it, claiming the timing didn’t match because I returned the car early. I was very careful to keep all the evidence, yet they still deducted the charges wrongly. Avoid renting from this company if possible.
Budget is really disappointing. When returning the car, I was told to leave the keys in the car. I asked if I needed to go to the office for any procedures and the staff said no. Three days after returning to my country, I received an email claiming that I damaged the bumper and they need to make a claim. I returned the car around 12:50, but the photo showing the damaged bumper was taken around 19:40, a gap of seven hours. Why didn't they say there was an issue when I returned the car, but took a photo seven hours later and claimed I did it? Although I had full insurance, it wasn’t our fault and I don’t want to be unjustly charged. This was my first time driving abroad and didn't have experience. I was in a hurry and didn't take photos when returning the car. This rental experience was really terrible.
Terrible service! The African American woman at the counter was extremely rude and indifferent towards customers. She made us find and inspect the car ourselves in the parking garage and tried to sell us insurance, taking advantage of our limited English skills. Can you imagine a daily insurance fee of 35 NZD with a 225 NZD excess?
