Cons: I couldn't get a replacement car at Mosgiel when i found that the brake was having problem and I was told they couldn't send replacement car a few hundred kms away from Christchurch. I was asked to get it repaired at the nearby workshop but it was almost 4:45 pm on a Friday (Sep 6) no no workshop was willing to take up the job and there's no workshop available on weekends there. I had no choice but to drive slowly on the following day back in Christchurch for a replacement car.

2/19/24

Pros: The car didn’t breakdown, surprisingly

Cons: Child seat was old, dirty and unsafe. Staff attitude was awful, the guy behind the counter in Queenstown was extremely rude, unhelpful and argumentative. We filled the car with petrol on the way to dropping it off and it was full on drop off. We were then told the car was 7/8 full a minute later, when it was full to the brim. The car was parked on an incline which was skewing the reading and the guy was rude and didn’t acknowledge this or note it.

While dropping off the car, I was asked about an issue with the window which was clearly stated on the handover report on picking up the car. The attendant should have checked that first rather than ask me about it. Car had 145.000 on the clock which seems a bit much for a rental. I had an issue with the car and called whether I could continue driving. I was

8/8/23

Australia
Toyota RAV4
8/6/23

Pros: Online check in quickened the pick up process but as the car yard is north of the airport, we had to ride the provided shuttle bus to go pick up the car. Drop off wad also quick.

Cons: The car we were provided (Rav 4, possibly 2017) had around 224,000 km's on the engine odometer. That was a little concerning as we did quite a bit of driving around the South Island of New Zealand/Aotearoa. The car had had a few scuffs on the bumpers and rust marks on the roof. A newer car or a car with much less odometer km's would have been more appropriate.

Pros: Representatives were friendly and helpful, and processed details quickly.

Cons: Finding the pick up location could have been easier (after hours). The signage at Christchurch airport was unclear and the shuttle service had no clear indicator that it was affiliated with Discovercars. We only knew because we called the phone number provided.
