Car was great to get around in and we got it at a great price. Only issue was the key did not work. Had to manually use the key and I got charged an extra petrol fee after drop off even though I told the man at the counter I had filled the car until it clicked. Pickup service at the counter was average

At dollar great service to drop off. Even took us back to motel.

Car wasn’t clean when we received it and also made a noise when we applied the brake. Other than that it was a modern vehicle and well priced compared to other Queenstown options.

I arrived at the ZQN Thrifty counter as advised and our flight was delayed by 7 hours. I had called and advised the counter staff of this prior. When I arrived, a family were dropping off their key and three staff were on the counter. One was talking to the customer about their holiday and 2 were completing invoices of some description from the EFT-POS receipts of the day. Neither acknowledged my presence or stopped their task to assist me and my booking for a good 5-10 minutes. Then just as it was wrapping up, a person waiting behind me pushed in and the lady who was talking to the other customer took him first. She could see I was visibly upset by and did attempt a silent apology, but I was furious as I had already been waiting patiently and someone who barges in was given priority. In addition when I was receiving my car paperwork, I was advised we had been upgraded from a compact car to an SUV - I was happy with the car we ended up with, but shocked to learn of my booking being classed as a 'compact' as even on this website page it states 'intermediate' So I was shocked to learn we could have ended up with a compact car which is not what we ordered.

Like: Easy and fast pick up and drop off. Especially at Christchurch drop off, ladies there were very helpful and friendly.
