I was pleasantly pleased with the whole process

The whole experience was easy & the staff very pleasant

All good

First, I want to say I'll never choose this company again just to save a few bucks. I rented an SUV during my trip to Queenstown and had a minor collision, nothing serious. A Rental told me the estimated repair cost for the two cars involved was 3000 NZD. Even though repair costs in Queenstown are high, this is five times more expensive than Auckland. When I asked for a detailed cost estimate, they couldn't provide one. But that's not the main issue; it's their attitude. After the accident, they didn't fully assist me. When I asked for help with the cost estimation, they said they had no time. As an international student with no experience, I raised my voice a bit, and they threatened to call the police. I didn't even curse, yet they accused me of being emotional. It's natural to be upset when dealing with such unhelpful service after an accident on a trip. Had they been helpful, I would have been grateful and wouldn't have raised my voice. Everything would have been much smoother. Also, their response time is terribly slow. They didn't contact the third party for a whole day, so I handled it myself. It's been two days now, and they still haven't told me the repair cost. Please, improve your efficiency. I've experienced firsthand what it means when they say Chinese people take advantage of other Chinese people.

I ordered the car as per the picture on the website - which was a relatively new Toyata Rav4. What I got was a 10 year old Nissan Dualis with 164k kms. This is false advertising. I argued with the manager on the day and he wouldnt budge. I laid a compalint the next day on line (chat), as this car was rubbish and too small. I argued with him again for 20 minutes. After 2 hours he agreed to swap another customers 2017 Rav4 with the car I had. I had to drive througfh Queesntown (2 hours) to swap it. Bad experience all round.

Excellent, courteous service. This company has a very small staff (only 1-2 on call at any given time) so it will take a while to get your car if there is someone else also picking up a car. Worth the wait IMO. The car we received felt relatively new (75K km Toyota small sedan) and ran very well. My only complaint is that it was unclear how/where to pick up the car. I didn't know that the office is off-site by about 5 minutes (not walkable). Fortunately I took a screenshot of the reservation and called the listed phone number; it took a couple of tries to reach someone but then they told me they would come pick me up. Even after calling, the pick up location was very unclear and I had no idea what kind of van/vehicle to look for. Once we were there, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. Very happy with my choice to go with Discount Car Rentals! Overall - excellent value for the money! Will definitely rent from them again next time I'm in Queenstown!

Couldn't have been an easier transaction. Was able to effortlessly purchase extra insurance and choose my car type. No hassles and by FAR the best price online!
