Great prices and fantastic customer service

Fantastic experience with these guys. Great value for money, quick and responsive customer service and great follow up.

We had a minor issue due to damage from a previous driver. The team were super understanding, offered to swap vehicles mid-trip, no blame attempted.

The shuttle buses to and from the airport made the entire process seamless. Security deposit returned heaps quicker than most too.

Highly recommend these guys for your next NZ trip!
