- I had to book a car with only about a weeks notice. I got a nice car with a very good price here.Great friendly service. The cars are Japanese re-imports so the Navi. and entertainment system are in Japanese, but the car we had (A Subaru Legasy) was in good condition and had a few luxury extras like keyless start, adaptive cruise controll and leather seats.The car had over 200,000 on the clock, but was well maintained and was fun to drive.read moreread lessPeter Hansen5/04/2025
- We rented a vehicle for 3 weeks off this company in February. Reception was friendly and checking the car out was swift. The car was older and had plenty of dinks and dents but drove well and was very reliable. Handing the vehicle back was also swift and they took us to our airport hotel. Very good price compared to the bigger companies. Would certainly use again and recommend them to others.read moreread lessMichael Ward3/16/2025
- Extremely satisfied renting from this business. Friendly and helpful staff. Great communication all the way. The car was perfect too and by far the cheapest price! They also had no problem swapping a booster seat for a proper car seat (my own communication mistake) on the day of pick up - much appreciated! Love the airport shuttle service, free of charge! Highly recommended!!read moreread lessSonja Stander4/12/2024
- Such a great company. I got a blown tire within my first hour of renting the car and the company could not have been nicer. They explained that the Jack was under the passenger seat and I was able to put the spare on drive it back to the shop where they immediately gave me another rental. Cannot express how professional and courteous they were and was even given advice to where to pick up a good and cheap cell phone for while I was in town.

- Very cheap and very cheerful. I rented a 2008 Nissan Tiida for the almost unheard of price of NZD$19 a day. A really willing and well maintained car which was more than adequate for the 1300km we did in five days around Northland. The staff at Auckland went well above and beyond when my sister left her phone in the car. They happily dropped it back to us at the airport not long after we let them know.read moreread lessAndrew P10/24/2022Fabulous service, great communication and cheaper than any other quote. Great check in process which is done ahead of time so no waiting in lines or paperwork to do. Special shout out to our driver who picked us up from the airport and was so friendly and efficient, and to Raewyn who was great and dropped us at the airport and made everything so smooth and easy travelling with two toddlers. These people know how to look after their customers. Will be recommending to everyone.read moreread lessJessica D'Audney9/26/2022

- Wonderful service from before we arrived up until the airport drop-off on the way home. For the price point — which ended up being 50% less than competitors — we were willing to lose out on customer service. However, this was not the case.

We Drove it 5000klm over both north and south islands, it never missed a beat. Handled great in the wet and A/C was fine in the heat. Was good on petrol and held its own on hiways keeping up to speed limits.
