Discount Car Rentals New Zealand at Christchurch Airport

Pros: The price, considerably lower than the major car-rental brands, was what drew us to Discount. The car had a lot more mileage and was a few years older than what you would rent through the major brands, but our rental performed flawlessly over our 40-day rental period.

Pros: Folks at the counter were very nice.

Cons: The office is a tiny room inside a parking lot building. There is really only room for one customer at a time. I wish the vehicle was a little newer. No apple play for your phone to run directions. If I would have been traveling solo, driving in a new country hands free would have been a challenge. The high mileage for a rental in my opinion, 256,000 on pick up.

Pros: Very helpful and considerate, easy to work with and went beyond to help me with short notice.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Blue tooth would have been handy - not sure why it needed to be disabled

Pros: affordable rate

Cons: pressure and discomfort for tourist/customers on the timming of key-return.

Pros: The price

Cons: Car not cleaned, wipers needed replaced(terrible to see when it rained), some strange noise - tyres or wheel bearings???

Pros: Quick

Cons: The car supplied was NOTHING like what was expected it looked like a boy racer vehicle with modified exhaust and lowered suspension! Two front rims were totally different from the two rear alloys rims! The windscreen had something smeared across it when we turned on wipers and the wiper blades were old worn and brittle. The vehicle was a Japanese import all dials were in Japanese even the radio when i complained i was told to fiddle about with controls until i found out how to work the radio!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I was given and old car

Pros: Low cost

Cons: Condition of car

Pros: Fast, clear pickup service. Great communication of what I was required to do. Car was in great shape. Easy to drop off.

Cons: The office was a bit awkward, in terms of layout when we first arrived. Perhaps more signage or branding so we are confident that we are in the right place. Not a big deal though.

Pros: Service was good, car needs new and better tyres. The abs was working overtime going UP hairpins...

Pros: God price

Cons: The air con didn't work on cold wiperblades were worn i had to clean the inside and outside of the front screen to ge able to see out no screen washer aditive don't the the car had been cleaned for a few hires..I'm pretty sure the ad was for a Toyota or similar late model cars not a 14 year old car

Pros: It was easy to find at the rental centre

Cons: The car was filthy, with parts missing and broken, and many scratches and dents. There was no water in the screen wash and the full wasn't full - as soon as we drove out, the gauge dropped down. The agents were very unhelpful and didn't speak English properly.

Pros: They were polite and efficient

Cons: Drop off was a bit hard to fine as Google says to stay in right lane and your destination is on the left the road must have changed with a override at some stage.

Then we were rushed to the airport and we nearly missed our flight and we were the last one to get on the plane. Please be on time

Pros: Not much

Cons: Where do I start... We hired a "Luxury" people mover, and what we got was a circa 2008 vehicle, that had paint flaking off, was dirty both internally and on the exterior, had no bluetooth connectivity, had a stereo system that would have been greta if you understood Japanese/ Chinese writing, there rear seat we couldn't fold up and when we asked for assistance they tried to fix it using chopsticks and this was all before we even drove the car.

Pros: No hassles

Cons: We were not informed about the designated car until arriving at the airport. It is not known what brand of cars are available.

Cons: Car full of scretches, no water and detergent in the car glass cleaner,

Pros: Easy to use, friendly, overall fab service

Pros: fast picking and drop off

Cons: if car can be picked up at the airport itself will be great.

Cons: I couldn't get a replacement car at Mosgiel when i found that the brake was having problem and I was told they couldn't send replacement car a few hundred kms away from Christchurch. I was asked to get it repaired at the nearby workshop but it was almost 4:45 pm on a Friday (Sep 6) no no workshop was willing to take up the job and there's no workshop available on weekends there. I had no choice but to drive slowly on the following day back in Christchurch for a replacement car.

Pros: Returned in Christchurch and went to snap which we rented the car from for our trip

Cons: The attendance tried to give me another car, which was worse than the first car and that’s all there was on the lot to cars. I will not rent from this location ever again and I will make sure that no one I know does either.

Pros: None.

Cons: The car is very old. The brake of the car didn’t work properly. We rang and emailed them about our concerns of the brake but received no reply at all. We were fortunate to make it back safely. Do not book with this Discount Car even though they are a bit cheaper.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: We were given a Toyota Estima, the car we hired, but it came with a disabled seat that you couldn't move back far enough to have room for your legs behind the front seat. The stereo was in Japanese, so we couldn't tune in the radio. It kept speaking to us in Japanese.

Pros: The car didn’t breakdown, surprisingly

Cons: Child seat was old, dirty and unsafe. Staff attitude was awful, the guy behind the counter in Queenstown was extremely rude, unhelpful and argumentative. We filled the car with petrol on the way to dropping it off and it was full on drop off. We were then told the car was 7/8 full a minute later, when it was full to the brim. The car was parked on an incline which was skewing the reading and the guy was rude and didn’t acknowledge this or note it.

Pros: Quick and efficient

Cons: We were very happy with the car and service. The only very minor niggle was that the fan made an annoying whine.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Christchurch side was very efficient. Car had a lot of dog hairs in the boot however.

Cons: Drop off took a long time due to lack of staff. Papers could not be found and up until today I don’t know if the deposit has been refunded. While dropping off the car, I was asked about an issue with the window which was clearly stated on the handover report on picking up the car. The attendant should have checked that first rather than ask me about it. Car had 145.000 on the clock which seems a bit much for a rental. I had an issue with the car and called whether I could continue driving. I was

Pros: Very friendly

Cons: Great customer service

Pros: Sort out the communication

Pros: Claire’s efficiency, courtesy, clarity

Cons: Needs to be clearer when booking online that we are paying agent for insurance also that we can Uber instead of shuttle instead of paying another group $35

Pros: As noted, really easy process. Pick up / drop off smooth, shuttle service great.

Pros: Efficient and clear communication

Pros: Ease of instructions to pick and drop car. The additional facility of airport drop post dropping of car

Cons: Non availability of staff post office hours (despite paying fee for same) to understand features of car and get queries clarified, especially when we were picking the car. They deliver car through a parking agent - who does not know anything about the car. This actually resulted in lot of inconvenience.

Pros: Quick, efficient, polite.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The after hours people were great.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Very poor service. Cars are in a really bad state with lots of damage to exterior and interior. Cars are not serviced.

Pros: Very friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Tried to get palmed off with a below par vehicle

Pros: fast and friendly

Pros: The service was so smooth and easy. Especially considering it is an off site service.

Cons: It is a bit more of a job being off site but well worth it with the difference in costs.

Pros: The car works fine through the whole trip. As a means of transport it had no issue.

Cons: There is no inbuilt gps in the car. Interior of car is dirty (floor mat) and I wanted to give the seats a wipe before sitting. Some dents which discount car already noted prior to rental.

Pros: Overall great service

Cons: My only comment is on the booking pages it didn’t have any markups. It was all ok, but I feel like I needed to know what previous marks were accounted for,

Pros: Overall was a very good experience

Cons: The only negative I can find is that the cars outer was not clean when we picked it up other than that it was all good

Pros: they were efficient friendly helpful

Pros: Nothing, would never use again.

Cons: Tires were bald and unsafe - Also the car was filthy when we picked it up, hadn't been cleaned, also the GPS was all in Chinese so couldn't use it. Also 2 of the seatbelts didn't work. Also the baby seats they gave us were old and dirty and we had to install them ourselves.

Pros: Thankful that they swapped out the car for something more suitable

Cons: The initial car shouldn’t have been an option for the price we paid and the condition/age of it. The oversight of the wobble in the steering was also a concern

Pros: Online check in quickened the pick up process but as the car yard is north of the airport, we had to ride the provided shuttle bus to go pick up the car. Drop off wad also quick.

Cons: The car we were provided (Rav 4, possibly 2017) had around 224,000 km's on the engine odometer. That was a little concerning as we did quite a bit of driving around the South Island of New Zealand/Aotearoa. The car had had a few scuffs on the bumpers and rust marks on the roof. A newer car or a car with much less odometer km's would have been more appropriate.

Pros: Drop off was easy

Cons: The complete experience

Pros: Reasonable rate

Cons: Didnʻt deliver the car as advertised.

Cons: The car assigned to me hadn’t been throughly cleaned; there were personal papers and food packaging rubbish left in the car from the previous two renters.

Pros: Fast and cost effective

Cons: Mentioned above

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Getting hold of a rep to ask a question was impossible

Pros: We picked on price

Cons: Didn’t know how to contact pick up ride on arrival. Couldn’t get hold of anyone via phone. Our car was given to someone else with the same surname. Car leaked when it rained.

Pros: Quick, easy and really affordable. Great communication from the team the day before. Our car we had booked had a car key issue so we got upgraded to next size car. We will definitely book again.

Cons: Could have been better info before arrival on exactly which door to go to, to meet the shuttle. We were waiting at the wrong one initially.

Pros: So far simple, honourable and excellent to deal with. I don't like the addition of a $1000. Bond but I do understand to a point that some customers do not do the right thing and it not fair that all customers should be punished by losing there bond.

Cons: At this stage No problems at all overall a good experience.

Pros: Service support available 24/7.

Pros: It’s value for money and the car given exceed the budget we spent.

Cons: Car is a tad older but overall well maintained. For the money paid , definitely a good deal.

Cons: I gave my feedback in the first question. I appreciate that you could bring some information about when I will receive the refund of the bond.

Pros: The easiest way to do transaction and communication.

Cons: Incorrect pic of the car used

Pros: Quick easy from pick up to return

Cons: Car provided is pretty old, year 2005.

Cons: Important items such as wipers and snow chains were not check properly. This causes worries when we have to drive through rain conditions and when we were heading to areas that might need the use of snow chains.

Pros: People very nice to deal with. Courteous and helpful.

Cons: Car was filthy inside. Appeared to have been wiped over with a really dirty cloth. Hate to think what was on that cloth ,just awful. Even the inside windows and instrument glass were hard to see through because of the film of dirt inside. Car was actually much older than I expected. However it performed well and didn't miss a beat.

Pros: Quick and easy pick up and drop off.

Cons: They were unable to confirm the bond refund at the time of drop off, but it had gone through.

Cons: Rental time took a while and unexpected further charges on fees and airport transfer however drop off car no hassle fast and great service including assistance to load baggages

Pros: Representatives were friendly and helpful, and processed details quickly.

Cons: Finding the pick up location could have been easier (after hours). The signage at Christchurch airport was unclear and the shuttle service had no clear indicator that it was affiliated with Discovercars. We only knew because we called the phone number provided. Other people were also asking around/seemed unsure. The shuttle also took 30 mins to arrive because there was only one of them and there were about 3 shuttles worth of passengers waiting.

Pros: Reasonable price

Cons: It'll be good if we were told on first day specifically the exact location of office to return key when your office is closed before 9am.

Pros: Good price for age of car

Cons: No apply pay Car a bit old lots on the clock

Pros: The free shuttle bus was easy to use and made pick up and drop off easy.

Cons: Car had many issues. Brake shudder with sqeeling on stopping. Car smelt of fuel, needed new tyres, radio speaker on passenger side not working. Car had way too may klms for a hire care, we needed to travel a distance and we were worried about the car breaking down. We did ask for another car at pick up and told nothing was available. We also though the car would have GPS but sadly, no.

Pros: The service is quick and friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fantastic and prompt 24 hours service. Will share with others..

Pros: The staff were very professional and friendly. I was picked up in a timely manner. The vehicle I rented was exactly what I wanted. It was clean and had more bells and whistles than I was expecting. Dropping off the car was quick and easy. The staff was awesome! From the shuttle drivers to the rental agents, they made everything a breeze. I would highly recommend this particular rental company to anyone!

Pros: The only negative is that I had filled out everything online prior to my arrival .. but then had to sit down at Airpark Canterbury at 1am in the morning .. to fill all the same details in yet again on Forms that had been left for me to complete! I was very unhappy about that and could not understand why it was needed .. as I had provided exactly the same info online earlier. Please address this part of your Collection Process. Apart from that; everything was Perfect !

Pros: The car was very old and full of dust when we picked it up. I wouldn’t drive it for long distance if it was my own car. And we had to buy the insurance again on site to pick up the car.

Pros: Agent was friendly. Driver of shuttle was friendly and nice.

Cons: Slow rental pickup. Car had almost 150,000 k on it and it showed.

Pros: The inside of the windscreen could have been cleaner. It also needed new wiper blades. Was hard to see when it rained and we couldn’t clear the windscreen well enough to see safely.

Pros: Friendly and efficient

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Efficient, affordable, helpful representatuve

Cons: Only issue was that the car radio did not work - it was a road trip and would have been nice to listen to some music. Also, no mobile device charger in the car.

Pros: Helpful Staff when Pick up and Drop off us at Airport. and the process is easy.

Cons: not a problem, but if faster replying email it would be much appreciated!

Cons: We had two hires. Ezu’s car condition is very good and staff nice when we used it’s car in North Island for 2 days. Discount Car Rentals provided us a quite old car with mileage at 197,xxx kilometres which made me a bit worried on our 11 days trip in South Island as I never drove such an old car overseas. But the staff were all friendly and efficient.

Cons: There was no communication to say where or how i'd collect my key when i turned up to the office and it was closed ( at 4:30pm ) My car was much older than expected and was told that was all that was left as it was a busy weekend. Didn't make me feel like a valued customer because i'd gone through this website to book.
