Pros: Vehicle provided as advertised, good communication, easy and fast pick-up and drop-off.
Cons: Miscommunication about were shuttle would pick us up from AKL airport. The e-mail was actually correct, but I missed the detail about having to walk some distance after leaving the airport.

Cons: We were given outdated pick up instructions. We had to borrow a phone to figure out we were told the wrong place to get our ride. When we finally found the right place, the company supposedly hired to pick us up was no longer contracted to do so. We were told Bargain would pick us up themselves. It took multiple calls and 2 hours in the cold wind and rain to finally get picked up. The young driver was very apologetic, but upon finally arriving at the car agency, we were treated as though we had

Cons: The first car we were offered was basically undriveable and was falling apart. The second was all in Japanese so had no way to navigate the dashboard.
Cons: There was a lot of cosmetic damage to this vehicle, including the bumpers being riveted on, and not 100% secured at that. Part of the back bumper was not actually flush where riveted and was sticking out slightly. If that was the only issue, oh well. But with speedometer and gas gague issues as well as brake issues, this car did not feel safe. I didn't bother saying anything as the speedometer issue was ignore by staff when brought up, they didn't seem to care it wasn't working.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Major confusion at the pick up at the Akl Airport. The information provided was wrong and the transfer vehicle was not the correct one so had to wait 2 hours to finally get a ride to the Flyway depot and then there was no vehicle there to pick up. Staff then had to arrange for another shuttle to come and pick us up and then deliver us to where we should have been to start with. Poor communications and when we tried to call ask where were they the message bank is full and you cant leave a message
Pros: Shuttle service to the airport and local hotels is a great feature, and makes it easy to get under way

Cons: Nothing
Pros: When I arrived from Brisbane, I fell very sick and tested for Covid. I was all confused due to how sick I was. The car rental place helped me get to the right place and chased me about really as I was giving wrong places. They were so good and understanding. I will definitely be using them again and telling family to do the same. Thank you so much for great care while IV been locked up in NZ
Cons: Nothing it has been a great service and helpful people
Pros: The drop off was far easier than the pick up
Cons: Too many sub contractors and confusing pickup experience. Was waiting at the airport for an hour and a half, took a long time to speak to someone at bargain cars, had to find our own way to the pick up destination which was not where the car was being kept
Cons: The communication for picking up the car was terrible, we waited 45 minutes at the airport waiting to be collected and had to follow up twice. The GPS did no work, the radio wasn’t English so didn’t know how to find anything on it.
Pros: Collected at the airport - didn't have to wait long.
Cons: There were 2 customers before me and i waited for over 30 minutes. The lady who served me was very helpful, but was supervising a person learning the computer systems.
Pros: Handy location, the pick up driver was friendly, but drop off driver was not.
Cons: We did not have call roaming so had to get a relative on Whatsapp to call the company for the shuttle. The car was an old Japanese import and all of the dashboard was in Japanese so it was tricky to work the AC etc.
Pros: See above. Very good
Cons: Online booking system slightly confusing due to two providers and insurance confusing but eventually explained satisfactorily by staff
Pros: rang when we cleared customs did not have to wait long to be picked up , car was ready and easy drop off process.
Cons: we had a 6 seater for 4 adults and 2 kids , back seats, seatbelts and child seats had mould on them , as we had an astmatic child with us we had to buy cleaning products to clean the mould off just a minor problem to a great trip .
Pros: The driver who took us back to the airport was really nice and friendly.
Cons: The whole "we don't care attitude". When I called about the engine light coming on, they told me just to keep driving it. I told them I was concerned it would break down on way to the airport, she just said ring the road side assist or ignore it. Very unprofessional.
Pros: The only thing we didn’t realise is we had to call to get the shuttle to pick us up but that was my fault for not reading info properly
Cons: Every thing was super easy
Pros: Superb for the price
Pros: Good value and great service
Cons: Car was higher mileage but the daily rate reflected that
Pros: nothing
Cons: a rubbish car rental company and should not be in the business.
Pros: They were down to earth. They were able to supply my car early as I had altered the date I flew into NZ but had forgotten to change the date I'd booked the rental car from. Thankfully the car was ready, so I could take it a day earlier.
Cons: The key was broken and had no remote locking device on it. The tag was cello taped to what remained of the key and this snapped on the first day I rented the car. It looked pretty tacky.
Pros: The car was value for money, the car condition was as expected for the price. It went well, no issues. The staff service on Sunday morning and at drop off was good.
Cons: Arrived late on Saturday night and was not able to make contact with a bargain rental representative. Picked the car up Sunday morning.
Cons: I was left stranded at Auckland International Airport after waiting for over 3 hours. I made over 30 calls for a shuttle to collect me and I finally got through to the call centre only to be told my booking had been cancelled. I had to find alternative accommodation and then return the next day to try and collect a car. I have been charged the full rental price for a 12 day hire which is very unfair given the error wasn’t my fault. I have emails to confirm that the booking wasn’t cancelled.

Pros: They provided a phone holder and adapter to charge my phone upon request which was great
Cons: That phone holders don’t come with the rentals given phones need to be held up and hands free by law.
Pros: Good price
Cons: Had problems with the car. Took too long in my opinion before I could get back on the road. They first had a proposal to pick us up with a truck and then drive for 6 hours to the next town. Then we would have been stuck for one full day. After much insistence we got another rental car. After all, we were already in a big city.

Cons: We were charged for not filling up the car on return which we did we spoke to someone in call center to get this refunded with a few more calls we finally got our money back but we had to chase for this to happen, also we never got a callback from the manager when we asked for one. Unfortunately with this happening we will not be renting another car from you which is a shame as collecting the car and return of it was really good.

Pros: Quick and helpful
Cons: N/A
Pros: Maps ,wasn’t info about meeting please in airport areas.Information -0.
Pros: We had a minor "accident" part way through our hire, involving a "reversing collision" between us and another car. BRC people were quite helpful in the advice they gave as to the procedure we needed to follow after we reported the incident. On the other hand, when we dropped off the car and needed to complete paper work about the incident, the BRC staff that day (a Saturday) were junior staff with very poor English language ability, and not able to answer our questions authoritatively.

The car rattled, its brakes were squeaky, its shock absorbers needed replacing etc. Luckily it did not break down but there was an occasion on the last day when I felt that its brakes were about to die on us.

Pros: Communication by email is fast and clear
Cons: The agent at the pickup and drop off at the airport is not part of the company. The person cannot answer your questions. The documents they ask you to sign for the previous damage on the car is blanc same for the fuel level. The process of investigation for an accident is long.
Pros: Nothing, the pick up was difficult. The customer rep at the pick up was extremely rude and couldn’t care less. I have been overcharged and not credited with my deposit on the vehicles. I have yet to hear back from anyone at Discover/Bargain about this.
Cons: Customer services was rude and dismissive. When returning the vehicle I mentioned that I had not received the credit gains the contract for the deposit made in early Dec. the manger couldn’t have cared less and was not interested in helping me out. His attitude was “it’s not my problem” and did nothing. I have yet to hear back from either company on this issue and emailed customer service on the website and heard nothing back. These companies want nothing but your money and have no integrity.
Pros: what to say
Cons: not to my expectation as other providers
Pros: Dropping off the car, there were no issues.
Cons: I was trying to contact someone from this company for 3 hours before I finally got in touch with someone that could help with my inquiry before picking up my car. A guy from another branch answered at one point and would not give me the number or help out at all. When I booked the car, I had asked for an automatic due to not being able to drive a manual - When I arrived it was a manual car which resulted me in having to wait for 2 hours for them to drop off another car.
Pros: It was such an easy thing to organise
Pros: Hassle free service.
Cons: Nothing really. Wasn’t too keen on air freshener smell.
Pros: Easy, quick, cheap and efficient
Cons: I booked in a Getz and got a Tiida. Not really similar cars lol
Pros: Simple.
Cons: 24h Service, no fuss, friendly, clear communication of pick up and drop off location and procedure.
Pros: Pretty minimal. Was able to pick up and drop off the car. Pick up and drop off agent unknowlegable and unhelpful. The address on the contract was not accurate and there were no signs on the road or I. The car park indicating where to go.
Cons: Agent was Unable to answer questions. This was our first time renting I. New Zealand, even being I. New Zealand or driving in the left side of the road. Pretty poor service!!!!
Cons: I dont think it was BRC but it almost took us an hour to catch a Fly Away shuttle. The 'pick up' point pictured in the email is not the correct pick up point.
Pros: Fast, efficient and polite services Very helpful with changing over our first car which has some issues
Cons: Initial car we rented was an early model Hyundai Getz and couple of days later found one brake light was out and then had problem starting. We had been charged twice for our rental cost, which created a few issues with our spending money but was quickly resolved.
Cons: Couldn’t find a radio station at all. Everything in Chinese! Couldn’t understand anything or follow directions on the Raidio.
Pros: quick
Cons: nothing
Pros: They were quick to take the keys off us
Cons: Very bad service, 45 minutes waiting for pick up. Being taken to a third party company to pick up car, then being told we had insurance but when we rang and checked we didn't. But the worse was the harassing phone calls and attempts to charge our credit card twice for the car rental because third party company didn't do their paperwork. Wouldn't hire through them again
Pros: Very quick and efficient
Cons: Nothing
Cons: Didn’t know which shuttle to catch until I rang to see where it was
Pros: Good customer service
Cons: Slight mishap with payment when extending car rental
Pros: Very efficient
Cons: Collection area could be set up better, Car should have been ready at office, fuel not checked.
Pros: Our ability to include my wife as a driver after she renews her NZ driving licence. I left the headlights on (didn't hear the warning buzzer). A fairly straight forward process of phone re-direction to the AA and NZD90 later and it was fixed.
Cons: According to the AA man, the battery is at 30% health. After raining we noticed dampness in the driver and passenger footwells.
Pros: No...really bullshit and fuck-up company! If you have no estima or similar car, before you change that car to others car, you have to ask the permission/approved from your customer. Not wait until we arrived there, and force us to receive what they have arranged. And tell us : “IT’S ONLY THIS CAR WE CAN PROVIDE FOR YOU, IF YOU WANT YOU TAKE, IF YOU DON’T WANT.....NO MORE CAR FOR YOU”. Anyone can tell me for this car is free or I have no pay money? Why they can talking like that ??
Cons: I’m rent car from your company and get this kind of horrible service, do you think I will recommend renting a car from your company? Yes, I will.... I will share my experience on the social media.
Pros: Nothing, except handing the keys in and walking out within 30 seconds to take airport shuttle.
Cons: No face to face support, no response to e-mails, poor condition of car.
Pros: So cheap and easy to collect. Great service, friendly staff on collection. The car was easy to drive and economical for driving around NZ
Cons: The pick up with the courtesy bus was quick and easy. The car there waiting. No huge queues waiting to pick it up.
Pros: Airport pickup, ease of arranging online and friendly staff
Cons: First time they were able to take us to our motel as we dropped the car back the night before our flight. This time they refused.
Cons: Ordering of extra car seat for child was not installed. Had to be installed at pick up
Pros: Nothing offered to replace vehicle but would have meant our holiday would have been reduced by 2 days to return and collect replacement car. Also wanted to recharge us for the vehicle on our return although had been prepaid
Cons: No representative at location to deal with any problems, could not be contacted by phone number provided
Cons: Getting to the car after getting off a 5 hour flight was not easy. The Flyaways service representative
Cons: Car was barely road worthy. Broken tail light, bad suspension, squealing fan belt, doors creaked and would not close properly, very dirty condition. The tire went flat 2 hours into the trip and there was no working jack in the car to change the tire.
Pros: I was able to speak with a representative easily
Cons: Not a criticism, only an observation. As I uplifted the vehicle at 0100hrs in the morning, and arriving from overseas, information regarding where to go to use a telephone inside the terminal would have been helpful. This is only because it took my global roaming time to activate and I could not call the 0800 numbers. Another driver from another company kindly called the Flyaway driver to advise him of my arrival and he informed me of the telephone once he collected me from arrivals.
Pros: They tried their best to fix their error.
Cons: I was given an old manual car rather than an automatic that I ordered. I had to wait overnight sleeping in the car waiting for the office to open. Horrible experience that should not have happened.
Pros: Nothing, literally the worst experience I've ever had renting a car.
Cons: Pickup was complicated and took an hour. Refused to let me see car to view condition before signing off. Car was in much worse condition thank on form. On dropoff they refused to provide a drop off recipt and then tried to scam me to get a cleaning fee. The whole process was awful, I'll never rent from that company again. Truly disgusting behavior.
Pros: nothing really
Cons: The inside of the car was dirty. The child seat provided was filthy and probably did not meet the safety regulations. the car had more than 140 thousand km, so we were afraid the car was going to die on us at any moment. When picking up the car, the car was not there and it took them an hour to bring it in. They even made me pick up the child seat from the office (20 minutes away) because I sent an email too late (3 days in advance). NOT GOOD AT ALL!
Pros: Pick up from the airport prompt after calling shuttle, pick up car organised and no fuss, drop off very easy.
Cons: Car had a number of scratches but ran perfectly for the 19 days I hired it.
Pros: Quick pick up and drop off.
Cons: No map offered on car delivery. Upon returning car, comments on condition were not taken on board re. loss of power, wheel knock etc.
Pros: Trusting casualness on both sides, you get what you book.
Cons: I have absolutely no negative comments to add.
Pros: I have found the rental process impersonal. No explanation at the start, no damage control, no interested question at drop off, no proof of drop-off.
Cons: The digital administrative procedures are OK.
Pros: Efficient and low cost
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Good value ie cheap
Cons: Car was rent a wreck - but it worked
Cons: The bumper was falling off so it got drilled and then cable tied to the car
Pros: The call handler was very pleasamt and tried hard to resolve pir issues.the rest of the experience was not good
Cons: We ordered a car seat and there was none in the car at pick up. After a 24 hpir journey on a plane this was terrible. The car seat which was eventually provided was not the spec we ordered (ot was a booster not a five point infant seat) and was not fitted in the car. The guy that delivered it said he had no idea how to fit it. We eventually had to drive to Onehunga to get a new one. This was on spec but filthy and the BCR person said it was illegal for her to fit the seat. 3 hours to pick up
Cons: See first comment
Pros: Price. Only saw agents not a BRC representative.
Cons: Car was very old, in poor condition (the radio/cd player didn't work and the battery was old and failed the night after we picked up the car requiring he AA to come out and replace it).
Cons: It was not a great service. We were charged for a GPS system and car seat that we did not even receive and i have had no response from them.
Pros: like the manager who worked out the solution for us.
Cons: staff never pick up call and reply email. when asked they mentioned they might work in behind so no chance to respond. so I had to drive the car from pick up place to their office and ask for replace/upgrade the unsatisfied car. the staff said he tried everything and end up saying 'sorry'. I was fortune the manager came and got it resolved for us.
Pros: Friendly service, easy to deal with.
Cons: Did not supply the vehicle I wanted Nissan Teana You supplied Nissan bluebird You should have contacted me and given me the opportunity to decide instead you made the decision for me Poor decision
Cons: My vehicle had a major mechanical issue during my rental. Bargain rental cars did provide a replacement car however has not reimbursed me for the car tow as promised when the issue occurred. They have also not responded to numerous calls and emails to further discuss this issue. I would absolutely not recommend this service or company to any one else in the future. An absolute nightmare.
Pros: no fuss, no queues
Pros: Really easy process, no hassles.
Cons: High excess ($2500) on the car and therefore need for extra insurance.
Pros: Friendliness & speed of rental agents. Speedy pickup & dropoff. 24hr service.
Cons: No comment
Cons: Car wasn't a good value. Had issues with the key petrol gage and also th guard under the bonnet
Pros: Prompt help during pick up and driving rules
Cons: Deposit amount and drop off service
Pros: Very poor - I complained about the old and poor condition of the car and didn’t receive a reply from Bargain rental cars
Cons: The very old car that was terrible to drive, the seatbelts were faulty, the radio or cd player didnt work and the car was dirty
Pros: Value for money rental. Good customer service from pick up and office staff.
Pros: Good transfer service from/to airport
Cons: Despite having filled a pre-check-in form online I had to fill again the same form at the desk The rental contract mentions that my liability for the car finishes when it is checked by BRC, not when it is delivered to the agent (FLY AWAY). At drop-off, nobody checks the car. This leaves room to uncertainty in case some damage (not caused by me) is found at a later stage
Pros: The are very friendly, and the phone is always available for asking questions.
Cons: The car the gave me this time is not the one I requested. I undestand they might give one similar if the rented is not available, but the car they gave me this time is too small
Pros: Simple and efficient. As I picked my car up after office hours, there was no relevant car rental agent. But the people at flyaway were efficient to pick people up at the airport!
Cons: There were numerous issues with the car. 1) Car had winter tires in late spring 2) Winter tires were worn out, had to bring the car to a tire shop. Own time was wasted for own safety. 3) I had windscreen wipers that didn’t do it’s job. Dangerous. Would have definitely failed Wof. 4) Car isn’t very fuel efficient. I’ve checked online, cross referenced to friends who drove this model previously and calculated based on litres put in and distance travelled.
Pros: Everything was fast and no hassle. Van to and from airport was good too
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: They didn't let me return the vehicle early (for a refund of unused days) The vehicle was not in great condition. The trim rattled at high speed and smelled of exhaust inside the vehicle when backing up.
Pros: Pick up service from the airport was great. car was ready for us when we got there.
Cons: Baby seat and GPS missing from car
Pros: Cheap prices
Cons: Rude, not willing to help staff. Will not rent from again.
