Poor|Feb 2024

Not able to contact Nelson counter in NZ to advise of flight delays, despite using their helpline (in USA) their counter in Dunedin and agent in UK and emergency out of hours number in Nelson. Meant we were left without a car in arrival, not able to move to our pre booked accommodation and had to find alternatives late at night! The following day however the agent secured a car and provided an upgrade which helped a little but we couldn't regain the list time and prepaid costs

We rented a 4x4 because it was the only 4-wheel drive option available when we went to upgrade our sedan. It felt like a new truck which was great and it rode very smoothly, even as I was very unfamiliar/uncomfortable driving such a large vehicle.

The lady at drop off was very helpful and the process was excellent. Pick up was okay, but we're used to a rep going over the car with us which didn't happen. Light rain at the time may have been part of the problem. Staff still helpful, though everything is now done on phone?? Car itself was very comfortable and clean and being a hybrid it was economical on fuel.

The car was extremely clean upon pick up, and as described, or better. Unfortunately there was an issue with outdated information on Ace's pick up instructions in our pick up location. After some initial difficulty and being unable to get a hold of Ace rental in Greymouth, NZ, staff were very responsive to our difficulties and chased up the company, seemingly straight away, to confirm the correct pick up process.
