I've rented cars overseas for many years, and this was the worst experience, hands down! First, our flight landed at 7 PM, but no one answered the phone when we called the car rental company. We had to take a taxi, costing nearly 30 NZD. The car rental location was very hard to find, and the GPS directions were off. Fortunately, the taxi driver was helpful, and we eventually found it. We picked up the car keys ourselves from a box at the entrance.

Our Mazda6 was a wonderful car to have, and we appreciated it wasn’t a base model. Very friendly staff and no issues. Only complaint is that they initially told us via email the airport shuttle was $10 a person, so instead we took an Uber to the location. When we got there we found out they recently moved so we had to walk down the street to the new location where they also informed us that the shuttle was actually free.

Easiest booking process I have ever received for a car rental. Staff were very efficient and the vehicle was better than expected. The booking out was equally as good. Only issues were a couple of accessories not performing properly.

The excess showed as being an excessively high cost of $1700 which we were already amazed at how it could be that, yet when we picked up the car they said it was a $2,000 excess. The cost of paying for upgrading insurance to cover the excess almost cost as much as renting the car. I think the price of airport pickup transfers should be shown/included in the initial rental cost.

Like: I liked how straight forward the whole process was, how obliging the staff were and the bang for buck.
Dislike: My partner got one car and I had another, her car was terrible to drive, no reflection on the company but if they had to update their cars I would suggest they don’t get anymore Fiat Puntos
