DISCOUNT CAR RENTALS CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

The first car they offered me was old and smaller than I booked so even after much pleading they gave me a better car

Car was over 8 years old, 140,000KM on clock and every panel had dents and scratches. Discount did not know how to open the car, the central locking didn't work. Shutle bus operator got lost on way to and from the airport to the car yard. Efpos machine didn't work for deposit. They do not take AMEX which we discovered on landing. Took 2 hours from landing to getting in the car. Missed appointments because of it.

Very good

Car met my expectations

Discount Car Rentals is great, only issue I had is that their pick-up/drop-off location does not populate on maps in my Iphone. It took me awhile before I could figure out how to get to the location. **Pick-up was no issue as you just meet them at the airport**

The staff were very friendly and explained everything when we picked up the car. Thelocation was a little further away than the airport tan I wanted, and that was not obvious when making the booking. Overall though, no issues.

Most of their cars are old and in bad shape, you must mentioned the model of the car in the ad.

We received a phone call the day before our rental requesting all our details, as it was due to be very busy on the day we got in. Upon arrival, it was hard to communicate with staff about pickup, the car was not ready, and the counter staff asked for all the details again. We were told our car was not ready because it had actually been in an accident and7 they would need to clean an alternative for us. The staff member then claimed we would be given a better car, however we received exactly what we had booked. In general we were not very pleased with our experience with this company.

The only thing that we missed was the boot cover . For a rental car with luggage that would be a definite plus.

such a big lier we booked toyota rav 4 one month prior, we paid, no availablelity of rav 4, when we arrived, the suggestion from car rental company was not same,(small suv and bad tyres conditions with front damage) no excuses from car rental for this situation, everybody careful about this cheating

Like: For my wife and myself, an elderly couple the Vizz is an excellent choice for new Zealand roads. It has sufficient power, easy to drive, easy to park. runs excellently. Company feedback was excellent.
Dislike: Actually the only thing is to make sure the customer knows that the pick up shuttle is not from Easy Rent cars but actually is from Discount car rentals. Knowing this would have saved some confusion at Auckland airport at midnight on the first leg of our holiday, otherwise all was good.

Car was old, very high mileage 162k Back bumper held on by black tap, big dent in the roof, front bumper coming away from bodywork lots of small dent and scratches, radio only worked on right hand speaker. Basically car should not be used for rental. $2,500 deposit left for any damages was more than what the car was worth

Like: It was great to be picked up from the hotel when we arrived and also taken to the airport at the end of our holiday. This took away a lot of stress away from us trying to find the airport. Staff were also friendly.
Dislike: I had trouble finding discount car entails on google. I was suspicious at first glance as I could find it and thought maybe it was a scam. It we did a google map search and saw the shopfront, so was set at ease.

Like: Everything
Dislike: Everything

The car was good but scratches indicated on the contract didn’t seem to be related to the car I rented. I had a breakout of the car - engine stopping and restarting while in the road - that can be very dangerous - I notified it at check out

Like: Pick up and drop off was efficient. Car was small (as requested) and efficient (giving the extra spurt when needed).

The customer service team with this was extremely unprofessional - both in person as well as on the phone where communication was not clear and was difficult. After a 10 minute wait for pick up from the airport, 35 minutes was spent at the depot while the car was washed outside (it was not cleaned prior to our pick up) and the serviceman signing documentation with us made racist comments about others. Discount Car Rentals also stung with a $3000 bond that was not expressed clearly beforehand, especially when we had already covered $0 Excess insurance cover. Afterhours drop off was a breeze as it was with a 3rd party who were much more professional in their business, and we were able to complete drop off in less than 10 minutes.

It was easy & helpful place to get the car.
