Pros: Customer Service at the start of trip was spot on.

Cons: Customer Service at the end of the trip was not. Rather than explaining how the computer system works staff went straight to we will be charged for early return of vehicle even though our travel circumstances had changed there was no flexibility provided or reasonable explanations given so we took the vehicle and waited on the road until the given time. Terrible customer service so will not be making any recommendations.

Cons: Nothing

Due to this we were delayed by 3 hours from our schedule and the vehicle was not good also. Do not take from Mode rental any vehicle as the fleet of vehicles are not good.

Cons: Slightly confused by emails

Pros: Mode rentals were excellent and the pick up and drop off was efficient and easy. Very good value for money.

Cons: Mode rentals were excellent but i booked through a third party DISCOVER CARS. Communication was not efficient as every question or change due to flight changes had to go through DISCOVER CARS and then i had to wait for them to go back to the actual rental company MODE RENTALS and this was painful.

Pros: Friendly staff and very helpful

Pros: Nice staff!!

Pros: Great value!

Cons: It was difficult to find the van because no one tells you that it says Mode and not Discovery. Not a pleasant experience trying to get a ride to the rental car place.

Pros: Everything was great. Wonderful experience!

Pros: very easy and fast way to book collec and return cars

Pros: It was a very old unsafe vehicle with stinky carpets. Vehicle did not have working front vipers, wheel alignment was very bad, car was pulling towards left and was difficult to drive. I reported that to the when returning the car and she tells me I cannot do anything as car was from Christchurch. I did not want anything from her, I just was reporting so next family doesn’t have to drive this dangerous vehicle before it is repaired.

Cons: I am not sure if Mode is trying to steal from customers or local reps but as Mode found out I am international traveler with insurance and already have left New Zealand Mode rep started sending me emails claiming car was damaged during our rental. Also I retuned vehicle with full tank and I received emails that they are charging for fuel top off and some administration fees.It is big scam and will make sure this goes on Facebook and all other social media so other customers never have to face it

Pros: Service desk was good but vehicle provided not so good.

Cons: The 10 seater van provided was too old. Struggled uphill. Ac only for driver. Had to keep windows open on a 100ks road. Not a good experience.

Pros: Pick up and drop off was easy

Cons: You will get charged extra if the windscreen gets any chips in it. Chips are a normal everyday thing whilst driving in NZ and to get charged extra for something which is out of your control is abit rough. The cleanliness of the car upon pick up was abit average too. I understand that there was alot of pollen in the air but the exterior of the car didn't look like it had been cleaned for a good week or so.

When I picked 3 out 2 couldn't be used as the straps had been cut and another was missing the back strap.

I was concerned as the car had quite a few chips on it and slight damage to the rear bumper (older car), which I was of course not responsible for. I took photos and emailed it through. I also was a little concerned that I was not given a road assistance number if the car broke down due to mechanical failure. Fortunately nothing went wrong, car drove well. No issues

We regularly corresponded with Mode to let them know the situation only to be told when it came to asking for our deposit back that we should discuss with Discover cars. We have now done this and you have not even bothered to acknowledge our claim. Totally disappointed and will make it clear to anyone who asks that this is the case

Cons: The car itself is an old car without basic equipement like navigation system which makes the rental very expensive compared to the real value of the car. The car is sold in the category 5-6 people but for 5 adults is it too small. I took the vehicle later than expected due to luggage. But I was not told that I would have to give it back anyway at the time of the contract. I had to pay fees of 40 NZD for that

The aa guys have made a comment that the battery needs replacing says it all really.

Pros: Good price. Fast pick up and drop off of the car.

Returning vehicle- I explained to the man that the timing was out, inside windscreen was dirty. He looked vagued as to what I was referring too. Surely staff person should understand some mechanics and acknowledge
