The car specifications..

The guy at the reception of airport was challenging everything we had to say. Not polite.

The car was large enough for my needs.

The price given to me online was not the price I was charged for and when I called the 800 number, the customer service office was closed. I feel I was charged more money because I was in a rush to catch my flight- Poor business practice by Budget. When I picked up the car, the service representatives had me sign that the car was not damaged before even receiving the keys. I asked if there was damage, could I come back and fill out the form to reflect that, and they said "yes"... but the second I received my keys they shut the gates and left for the day. I asked why the price on the document they gave me was different than what I received online and they told me I'd only be charged the additional amount if I returned the car with less than a full tank of gas. The car was returned full and I was still charged more money than quoted online.

Clean ride

When other rental car companies quoted me it was an all inclusive cost, it wasn't clearly noted that the car was a manual and the price didn't include insurance. So when I actually picked up the car they gouged me on both of those and the quotes price was more than doubled. I had somewhere to be and didn't have much of a choice. Feel like they knew that and really took advantage with the price.

Budget NZ have overcharged my Credit Card by $300 and not even sent an invoice to justify their charges. What a joke - supposed to be a premium provider...they didnt give me the car paid for (it was a crappy hybrid) and the car stank like a previous renter had spilled Dum Sum in the boot! Dissapointing Budget total rip off and fraudulent charges without substantiation!

Staff at drop off was under a lot of pressure due to the virus situation, but they handled it well and I got my refund handled properly.

Staff at pick up did not speak fluent English.

Nothing

The car was way smaller than expected, I would have gotten a car similar size for much less money also the car was in bad shape dents and scratches everywhere.

staffs needs more training, they gave me wrong information caused me waisted 1.5 hours and extra Uber ride between 2 drop off locations.

The online disclosure were not clare. I booked one way trip from Auckland to Christchurch for total 7 days. The disclosure shows I can take the rental car from north island to south island by ferry. However, I was told I can not take the car on ferry when I got to counter picking up the car...

Great clean car, very new and well kept.

The AVIS agent at the Auckland airport was not friendly. She had a very harsh tone, was annoyed to be communicating with a customer, and was very peeved that we did not arrive at the exact hour our reservation was set for (no matter that we were just arriving from an international flight). The car itself was great. The customer service, not so much.

The one-way booking was easy to make and convenient for our vacation itinerary

The car park was not clearly signed, though it could have been our fuzzy-headedness following the red eye flihht

The Uber driver coundn't find the location as signage for the car rental company was unclear. The paperwork and getting the key/fob was fast but as another customer arrived to drop off his car, he was attended to ahead of me by both staff there. Then the rental car was driven up and "There you go" were the last words from the staff. I said, "No hubcaps?" and the staff member just said no and walked away. That was bad. No hubcabs! The car was a hybrid and I had only driven keyless once before for a brief drive before. The staff took no care to make sure I was familiar with anything about the car. All displays were in Japanese so no radio/music during my rental time (4 days). Even though the staff at the drop off was lovely, friendly and helpful, I would not use this rental again.

I wish there had been more clarity as to where we were to be picked up. We were waiting just outside international arrivals, but never told to walk across the street to the shuttle pick up. Fortunately a local lady saw us wandering around and asked why, called Auto Union for us, and walked us to where we needed to be!

Price was attractive. Calls for shuttle pickup were ignored, never returned. Wait to receive car was over an hour waiting in a trailer on an industrial lot. Voucher from kayak.com was not accessible in their system, requiring more data entry and longer wait times. Shuttle service was slow, infrequent, and a bit hazardous. Car ran well enough, clean and ready so no major complaints. Again, price was attractive.

My reservation was never found by dollar when we arrived. Had to rebook the reservation and it delayed us 2 hours. Not dollars fault. It was kayaks. Jazz at Dollar was very accommodating and helped us get a car.
