Great car at a great price

The location of ACE Rent a Car is very easy to find, and the staff are very friendly. When we went to pick up the car, the service was entirely in English, and the explanations were very detailed, especially regarding the insurance policy.

I booked a Mitsubishi ASX, but was given a Mitsubishi Outlander, it was a little bigger but comfortable the same. Pick up instructions was to call up for a free transfer to Ace Rentals about 1-2 km away from Queenstown airport terminal, the transfer was smooth. At pickup, the guy was clear to explain and checked all documents, but cautioned me about my liability excess is $5500, that got me worried even I bought AXA coverage through QEEQ. At returning the car, the lady was not helpful, I had a dent on the vehicle front passenger bumper cause by a big landscaping rock while reversing for parking, she seemed panicky and quickly made a report for me and charged me excess of $5755.08 on my card. She was not helpful to explain how is the process, more worried about the next customer picking up vehicle, when I ask for credit card slip, she said she do not have one for me, luckily I took a photo of Ace Rentals copy which I signed. Later then I realised on the accident report it said they charge me excess $4783, but then I paid on credit card $5575.08, still not sure why, hopefully could be resolved later when they obtain an assessment of cost of repair to bumper, after Christmas they say. When I ask for if they have a telephone contact which I could call from Singapore, she said another guy will call me. I kept calm , since I had to catch a flight, and trust QEEQ and AXA insurance would help clear things up.

Excellent platform, have been using this for all my overseas car bookings.

The car exceeded expectations. I had a late flight arrival so I was able to organize with a worker to have the keys left with the Hertz rental station and this worked out perfectly.

Booking platform seemed good. I got a good rate when I booked and nothing better came up which was fine.

Great experience!

Casey from ACE Christchurch branch was exceptional in dealing with the situation.
