Like: It was great to be picked up from the hotel when we arrived and also taken to the airport at the end of our holiday. This took away a lot of stress away from us trying to find the airport. Staff were also friendly.
Dislike: I had trouble finding discount car entails on google. I was suspicious at first glance as I could find it and thought maybe it was a scam. It we did a google map search and saw the shopfront, so was set at ease.

The picture of a late model Camry is not what we were offered when we arrived. The car was 2006. This is blatant false advertising. The matter was resolved after I complained with a 2016 Ssangyong. A shame it had to happen at all.

everything was awesome from car condition, cleanliness and spacing. the customer service were superb. two things i can say about the van is (1) when you’re driving uphill it struggle a little bit to keep up with the rest of the car on the road. my second concern, i was told that the release of the bond will take 2 weeks to get back on my credit card account. what if i needed the money now? the release should not take that long as it may lead to inconvenience to some people like me.

Terrible experience. The car we booked was unavailable, and they gave us a very old 7-seater instead with no compensation for the price difference. They had arranged to pick up the car at 9 AM from our hotel. I even called to remind them, but they didn't arrive until 10:30, nearly causing us to miss our flight.

The car has already run over 110,000 kilometers. The key issue is that at a speed of 85 km/h, the car becomes unstable. Initially thought of changing it in Taupo, but it turns out the only location is in Auckland! Wasted phone expenses, and the person who answered said yes, the car shakes above 85 km/h. They knowingly rented out a car in bad condition! I was dissatisfied throughout the journey.

The Toyota Camry I reserved was not available on the day of pickup, so they gave me a RAV4 instead. I don't like driving SUVs; the hard seats caused back pain. The foreign female manager with tattoos and a shaved head had a very poor attitude and yelled at me. Later, I found out that the company had recently been robbed, with three cars and several thousand New Zealand dollars stolen, but that has nothing to do with me. In the end, I had to accept the SUV. The management doesn't know how to communicate or show apologies. Fortunately, the two Chinese girls who handled the reception were very polite to me, although they work under the boss's orders. It's tough for them to have this job in a foreign country. I thank them for the services they provided.

Picking up the car at the airport took longer than expected as we had to wait over an hour for the shuttle to arrive from the rental office, which is about a ten-minute drive from the airport. When I called the office to inquire, the response was polite but impatient. The same person who answered the phone—a cold and impolite middle-aged Chinese man—handled the paperwork. I must have been unlucky to encounter such an unpleasant individual during my travels around the world. We received a different model than we had reserved; it was an older model Nissan ELGRAND, which isn't listed as an option in the selection menu. Apart from that, everything else was fine.
