No problems at all with the rental and the service received. I think the tyres on the vehicle need to be checked. When refuelling, I noticed they were a little bald.

The vehicle was a basic model. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Car was in great condition. Nice to drive, 360 deg visibility, seats were comfortable, air conditioning was excellent, cruise control was easy to use. Brakes might need some attention though, they were a bit juddery.

The car not the model ordered and disappointed that the vehicle only has a 330km charge. also disappointed that I was charged road charges and addition cost to recharge the car on return. How one is supposed to re charge prior to drop surprises me.

Car was upgraded from a Corolla to an X-Trail. When I picked up the car it was raining and I didn't notice extra damage in the rear that wasn't listed on the form at the time of pickup. I took a photo of the damage straight away when I arrived at the motel and then drove back to Thrifty the next day to inform them, I was told to send the photo to an e-mail that keeps bouncing back to me. Haven't heard anything.

The Counter staff did their job but weren't that friendly. Due to technical problems I wasn't able to receive a copy of the contract upon leaving the shop/ yard (= their printer was not working) and I was told it would be emailed to me ... and I subsequently found out it was emailed to someone completely different ... so perhaps now that 'wrong' person has got some of my personal information (= not happy about that). And the Staff didn't walk around the vehicle with me before I left ... and so IF there were problems (e.g. marks, scratches, damage) then there could well have been delays and issues upon returning the vehicle and leaving promptly/ efficiently. (Fortunately there were no disputes before leaving the shop/ yard.)

The car had not been (re) cleaned again before we took it, there were a number of bird droppings on the car. I've never seen this before . . . The inside was clean. We often have difficulty at the airport finding the area for the shuttle, more information should be included with the booking.

Overall satisfaction is 7 out of 10. The car handover service was very good, but they temporarily switched the Hyundai SUV to an MG, which was hard to drive and significantly downgraded the self-driving experience. Therefore, I can only give a mediocre overall rating.

We had an upgraded car, good. The damage assessment did not show all the scuffs and dents. Picking the car up from a multi story car park and a wet car prevented us seeing all the minor damage. We took photos as soon as we saw the multiple damage but found it impossible to upload them on the link sent to us. We have our fingers crossed that the return condition is acceptable and we have not had any notification of budget receiving the car back. (Key drop off out of hours)

This is a very reputable rental car company. We added an additional driver when picking up the car, and the company charged an extra 18 NZD, which is normal.

I do not recommend fellow Chinese travelers to choose this car rental company. It's a very small company in New Zealand with very few staff. If your English isn't good enough to communicate with them, you may find yourself at the shop with no one to assist you, and none of our questions were resolved. The condition of the car was mediocre as well; it was an old Nissan Sunny. One day, we encountered strong winds in New Zealand, and the car was shaking on the road, which was quite dangerous.
Reviewed: November 13, 2016
Upon arrival at the airport, I called the company for a pickup, which was charged at 25 NZD, while other companies provide it for free. This indicates that this is a small company. The vehicle had high mileage, and the insurance deductible was high, implying their insurance costs are low. I experienced a minor accident due to slippery roads and was charged a 5000 NZD repair prepayment. Note, this was not just a credit card authorization but an actual charge. This is unreasonable because you have to pay the credit card bill based on the charge. The final repair cost is still unknown. Although the excess was 3500 NZD, they charged 5000 NZD. This is outrageous. Overall, besides being cheap, this company offers no value. Rental platforms should review such companies to protect renters' rights.
Reviewed: November 13, 2016
Upon arrival at the airport, contacted the company by phone. They instructed us to wait at a specific location in the hall. In about 10 minutes, someone came with a sign to pick us up and took us to the car outside. We got to the rental point quickly, the car was new with low mileage and full insurance coverage. Staff were polite and professional.
