Bargain-Rental-Cars Car Rental

Car was disappointing. See above

The service and management of this car rental company can be described as extremely poor: 1. When picking up the car after the flight landed, the time was outside the store's 'business hours' marked on the order. As instructed by the order, I contacted a third-party service company, but they said they couldn’t find my order and suggested I directly call the store, as it might not have closed yet. I spent almost an hour making countless calls to the store but couldn’t get through. Even after contacting the car rental company’s headquarters through the booking platform, they were unable to reach the store and couldn’t clarify whether the store had closed or not. Feeling desperate, I wondered whether I was calling incorrectly, so I asked a local to try making several calls for me, and finally got through. Someone eventually came to pick me up, and it turned out the store only had one staff member handling everything—pickup, paperwork, and vehicle returns—no wonder they couldn’t answer the phone in time. You can imagine my frustration being held up like this, especially since I was charged an extra fee for 'after-hours pickup' when I booked. If it was indeed within regular working hours, shouldn’t I get a refund? 2. To be fair, the staff attitude during pickup and drop-off was quite good, the typical friendliness of Kiwis. However, a major problem arose: I explicitly stated during pickup that I didn’t want to purchase additional insurance, and my prepaid booking clearly included full insurance provided by the rental company. Additionally, I had already completed the online check-in and signed the documents the day before pickup as instructed in their email. Despite this, the rental company added an extra insurance plan to my booking when I picked up the car (the payment hadn’t been deducted at pickup but charged against my deposit upon return). They refused to refund, claiming I had signed in agreement (they referred to the online check-in signature from the previous day, not anything signed on the pickup day itself). This ridiculous error dragged on for nearly a month without resolution, leaving me utterly exasperated. Eventually, the booking platform intervened to settle the issue for me. In summary, I would avoid this rental company at all costs. Proceed with caution.

Vehicle was adequate for what we needed. Drove very well. Counter staff were excellent, friendly.

Awesome!

The pick-up and service process was excellent.

Satisfactory.

The staff's service attitude was quite good.

The store provided the wrong vehicle model during pickup, but after communicating with QEEQ, the issue was quickly resolved. Although it took some extra time, the overall experience was very good. QEEQ responded promptly and resolved the issue efficiently.

The staff members were polite and made the all the processes easy and stress free

best rates, good service, very satisfies

Someone should have come to meet me / pick me up at the airport with some identification with my name on it.

Very satisfied, attentive, prompt, and detailed guidance.

Great guys

We would have appreciated some compensation for the phones being out of service because we were almost 1.5 hours delayed to start our reservation

I rented there because of high rating to do with customer service. But the vehicle was really awful and when I called for help mid-rental the staff were utterly unhelpful.

Overall, it was a good experience.

The minivan was terrible in condition. We booked the pickup time in such a way that it gave us enough time to leave the airport and go to the rental car place and that pickup time happened to be "after hours" of Bargain Rental Cars and it was a different pickup location. But it so happened that our flight reached Auckland ahead of time. When we called the pickup location for the after hours office, they said to call BRC directly since it was technically not "after hours". When we called BRC, they asked us to call the "after hours location" since we had to pick up the car there only. There was some confusion which was frustrating for us and finally BRC agreed to come and pick us up from the Airport.

BRC’s car always exceed expectations as they are such terrific value for money, clean economic and a pleasure to drive.

Quite poor, it was hard to find the shuttle bus, and the wait for the transfer vehicle was over 50 minutes.

The service was excellent.
