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.

Toyota Hiace
1/4/24

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

Toyota RAV4 (2014 - 2016)
9/10/23

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.

Pros: The people working at mode were all very lovely and professional

When I picked 3 out 2 couldn't be used as the straps had been cut and another was missing the back strap. I took 3 seats 1 being inappropriate for my daughter's age just to get home and then I had to go and purchase a seat for her age. When I emailed mode about the situation the customer service was great

3/4/23

Pros: Good service, best value for car hire in Christchurch and I’ll use them again.

Cons: I wasn’t reminded to check the car before driving off, as I did so only after I arrived at accomodation in Christ Church. 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

Pros: Quick service and pick up

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.

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

Ended up hiring newfrom a different place.
