Pretty good

They provided me with a Hyundai Tucson with 32,666 km on it. Surprisingly, it was fully equipped with keyless entry and start, heated seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control (these two features are really helpful for first-time right-hand drivers, as the car tended to veer left initially), pre-collision warning, steering assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Apart from the lack of a 360-degree camera, it had everything. There are many winding roads in the South Island, and local drivers take corners very quickly.

(1) On November 26, 2018, when returning the car at the airport, BUDGET was understaffed and I had to wait for over 30 minutes. (2) When I returned the car on November 26, I informed the BUDGET staff about a minor scratch on the left side of the vehicle, and they said it was fine. However, on November 27, 2018, 5280.58 NZD was deducted from my credit card. After subtracting the rental balance of 818.01 NZD payable at the BUDGET counter at the New Zealand airport, I don't understand what the remaining 4462.57 NZD was for. Was it a penalty for the scratch? The charges were completely unclear. It felt like robbery. I never want to rent from BUDGET again. (3) There were too many entrances to the return car park, and there was no clear map. It was easy to make mistakes and have accidents. I entered the wrong parking lot and was forced to pay a 10 NZD parking fee.

Would not use again. Booked a Prado but got a RAV4? Terrible company

The vehicle looked great in the photos shown, however on closer inspection it had small scratches and dents. The staff member was ( prompt) showing me a handful of wide angle pictures but no close ups revealing damage. Most of the transfers I have done have a system where you get a drawing of the vehicle and ALL damage is marked on inspection. This let's the driver point out any unforseen blemishes etc. To be honest there was nothing noted and that left me feeling vulnerable. I made sure I filmed the vehicle and pointed out all the marks, dents, blemishes. At the return desk in Greymouth the counter lady was nice and polite, but qestions were raised about one one small dent by the fuel flap. I showed my video footage at Christchurch Airport and any pictures that detailed the small ding. In my opinion there was lack of communication. All the damage should be photographed and logged in the system so staff can identify past damage. The reason I am pointing this out is because I've done more then 40 transfers for transfer car and not experienced this before. Apart from that, happy with the overall experience. Thanks kindly

Good and simple
