Mazda Demio
February 3, 2024

Pros: We did not get the car originally booked!! Got a horrible Hyundai Getz… paint was peeling off Bonnet, then it broke down, it was a hell of a problem getting the break down guy to take it as the AA membership had expired in 2021, then we were asked if we would be able to drive it back to Christchurch 🤷‍♀️seriously after explaining to the manager at Budget rental cars what was wrong! We lost an entire day, we were not even offered compensation for the loss!!

Cons: Will avoid them at all costs sorry
Australia
Toyota Vitz

Singapore
Toyota Vitz
October 15, 2023

Pros: I think the price overall is affordable and they don't ask for a lot of deposit.

Cons: The body condition of the car is bad. Luckily the engine is ok. I am not impressed with the representative. He is very reluctant to share any information when asked. I would have appreciate some answers. Not a very helpful individual. Also, as someone who is on 1st visit to NZ, I would have appreciated some advice about the engine size. I didn't know I had to climb mountains, I would have gotten a car with a bigger engine size. Luckily, I was safe.
Australia
Toyota Vitz
March 2, 2023

Pros: The car was ready at the pick up time and any paperwork required had been done. The guy in the office was friendly and took me around the car to show me any previous damage . There was nothing said about the controls in the car and that the handbrake was a third pedal .

Cons: The vehicle advertised wa not the vehicle I received as this was a 2008 vehicle that looked rather scruffy inside and out. The car mats were very dirty as were the seats and tape had been used to cover a rip in the storage compartment between the front seats. There was no manual in the glove compartment.
Canada
