Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent service, highlighting the staff's friendliness, helpfulness, and efficiency. Many people found the pickup and drop-off processes to be smooth and easy, often facilitated by timely airport shuttle services. Consumers also frequently commend the quality of the vehicles, noting that they are often new, clean, and in good condition, providing a comfortable and economical driving experience. The pricing is also a significant positive, with many finding it affordable and competitive. However, some customers also noted issues such as unexpected additional fees for management or after-hours pickup, and a lack of transparency regarding insurance options. A few reviewers also reported receiving cars with mechanical problems or cleanliness issues, and some felt pressured to change insurance providers.

Great car hire company

Easy to book online, shuttle was quick to pick us up from the airport to take us to the depot. Our car was ready and waiting for us once we had signed the paperwork. Nice modern, tidy, hybrid hatchback. Drop off was quick and easy with another prompt shuttle to the airport.

Good value car

So far that we’ve been on our trip in our Snap rental Prius in New Zealand’s North Island it’s been plain sailing. The car has been very reliable and seems to be very cheap to drive so far as we’ve driven four hours in it.
The staff were all very friendly and very helpful as we set out from Auckland airport.
I’d score higher if the front window screen has been washed but the rest of the whole car was clean.

Overall a good experience.

Exactly how it should be

Helpful and exact instructions to find the airport shuttle bus pickup spot; super friendly and cheerful greeting by the shuttle bus driver; very friendly and efficient staff at the rental depot. That’s how it should be. Keep it up! Thanks heaps!
