It could be better if your office hours at the airport would open earlier (7am-7pm )?

Fabulous, comfortable and clean car. Unfortunately we were not told our car had a GPS so struggled with directions leaving Auckland. When we did find it had a GPS, it was out of date and we still struggled to find the main airport office. That being said, New Zealand is a beautiful country and we were able to do some lovely scenic drives whilst staying in Paihia.

Four days north island, six days south island. Gorgeous! There is dispute as to whether rental cars can be taken on the ferry from the north to south (or vice versa). Go Rentals said it was fine to do so, but others said it is not, so please due your homework! We did not take the chance - we rented a car on the north island and dropped it off in Wellington, then rented a new car in Picton in the south island after the ferry. Plus the ferry is much cheaper just as a passenger and not having a car.

We picked car up in Auckland CBD after getting off cruise, easy to find and we dropped off at a location close to airport and freee shuttle to airport, we would consider using this company again

Highly recommend - we've used them 3 times now
We have now used DiscoverCars.com car rentals for our last 3 trips. Staff are always very professional and friendly. The vehicle pickup and drop off were quick and easy. We are already planning our trip to Italy, and will definitely be using DiscoverCar.com for our next car rental. Highly recommend!

Discover Cars are so easy to contact and always respond quickly. I needed to check the features of our hire car and Customer Services Associate Thais got back to me super quickly with a detailed explanation of the vehicle code on our confirmation letter. Many thanks Thais.
