It was a little bit confusing what to do when returning the car at the airport. There were nobody to ask or there was no information where to leave the car and what to do next. But at the end - all good :).

No problems at all with the rental and the service received. I think the tyres on the vehicle need to be checked. When refuelling, I noticed they were a little bald.

The car not the model ordered and disappointed that the vehicle only has a 330km charge. also disappointed that I was charged road charges and addition cost to recharge the car on return. How one is supposed to re charge prior to drop surprises me.

Car was upgraded from a Corolla to an X-Trail. When I picked up the car it was raining and I didn't notice extra damage in the rear that wasn't listed on the form at the time of pickup. I took a photo of the damage straight away when I arrived at the motel and then drove back to Thrifty the next day to inform them, I was told to send the photo to an e-mail that keeps bouncing back to me. Haven't heard anything.

Counter staff was particularly efficient. We arrived at the facility with two other families, and rather than make us wait in a line, their three staff served each of us simultaneously-- at a desk where we could sit down. Quick, easy, and friendly.

Mode is a local car rental company in New Zealand. The vehicle condition is average but very affordable. Booking online in advance makes the pickup process very quick, and for returns, the deposit is refunded immediately after on-site confirmation. Overall, the experience was great.

The Counter staff did their job but weren't that friendly. Due to technical problems I wasn't able to receive a copy of the contract upon leaving the shop/ yard (= their printer was not working) and I was told it would be emailed to me ... and I subsequently found out it was emailed to someone completely different ... so perhaps now that 'wrong' person has got some of my personal information (= not happy about that). And the Staff didn't walk around the vehicle with me before I left ... and so IF there were problems (e.g. marks, scratches, damage) then there could well have been delays and issues upon returning the vehicle and leaving promptly/ efficiently. (Fortunately there were no disputes before leaving the shop/ yard.)

The car had not been (re) cleaned again before we took it, there were a number of bird droppings on the car. I've never seen this before . . . The inside was clean. We often have difficulty at the airport finding the area for the shuttle, more information should be included with the booking.

Their cars are not new and they all seemed to have some damage. I witnessed many customers equally perplexed by the amount of damage if their assigned car. Their fleet did not look very new. Even though I had a guaranteed car make and model, they were unable to provide me with what I expected. They had one model but it was the "personal vehicle" for one of the employees and it was not clean/ready for a customer to drive and was probably an early 2010s model.

I do not recommend fellow Chinese travelers to choose this car rental company. It's a very small company in New Zealand with very few staff. If your English isn't good enough to communicate with them, you may find yourself at the shop with no one to assist you, and none of our questions were resolved. The condition of the car was mediocre as well; it was an old Nissan Sunny. One day, we encountered strong winds in New Zealand, and the car was shaking on the road, which was quite dangerous.

Upon arrival at the airport, I called the company for a pickup, which was charged at 25 NZD, while other companies provide it for free. This indicates that this is a small company. The vehicle had high mileage, and the insurance deductible was high, implying their insurance costs are low. I experienced a minor accident due to slippery roads and was charged a 5000 NZD repair prepayment. Note, this was not just a credit card authorization but an actual charge. This is unreasonable because you have to pay the credit card bill based on the charge. The final repair cost is still unknown. Although the excess was 3500 NZD, they charged 5000 NZD. This is outrageous. Overall, besides being cheap, this company offers no value. Rental platforms should review such companies to protect renters' rights.

Upon arrival at the airport, contacted the company by phone. They instructed us to wait at a specific location in the hall. In about 10 minutes, someone came with a sign to pick us up and took us to the car outside. We got to the rental point quickly, the car was new with low mileage and full insurance coverage. Staff were polite and professional.
