A disaster. Not recommended at all.
1. On December 16th 2024 Bargain Rentals Cars near Auckland airport delivered to us a Nissan Nevara 6 seats while we were promised us a larger van 7 seats Toyota Estima. I complained about that but the employee at the reception told us it was the only vehicle available. 2. The car was delivered to us without a spare tire. Bargain Rental cars maintained there is no spare tire on that Nissan. It took me 2 minutes to find on YouTube some videos how to replace a tire (that is supposed to be under the car, under the left seat) on the same van, same year. That was a first manifestation of bad faith. We took an Uber (with the wheel with the flat tire) for 25 minutes, got a new tire mounted in 15 minutes, and were back to our rental home in another 25 minutes. As we wanted to continue our visit of your New Zealand, I figured out that would be quicker than waiting for assistance. Still, the whole issue would have been solved quicker if there was a spare wheel. 3. This 2012, 130K+ Km van has serious front suspension issues. Lots of vibration while braking. Probably worn-out bushings. As I have worked in automotive engineering for 45 years I pretty good about evaluating` such issue. 4. The car turned to the left while braking. As suspension alignment was necessary. 5. The right front and right rear tires were only at 2/3 of the recommend pressure. Bargain Rentals Cars offered us a compensation that was ridiculous for the troubles we went through. All in all a really bad experience.
