Slightly older car but had no issues
I knew it was a slightly older car (used to be a lease car it seems) it was a good deal financially and I've had no real problems during the 5 weeks rental period. The car was large enough for my triathlon bike box in the trunk with folded down rear seats and a large bag (and during the 5 weeks buying more and more souvenirs and other items). The car wasn't really powerful and with a few longer and steep hills it took some more effort. Not that it worried me and I wasn't in a rush at all. Would certainly consider renting a car from Mode Rentals in the future! Feedback for Mode Rentals: At pickup in Auckland, after the paperwork and financial formalities, the employee just gave me the keys and pointed me in the direction of the car (row of 5-6 cars) without coming out of the office. It would have been a nice gesture to walk the 20 meters to the car and explain a bit maybe. There weren't any customers waiting so I guess he would have a few minutes to help me. He could also have explained where the heck the lever of the fuel lid was hidden. This would have saved me some embarrassment at the petrol station a few days later! Luckily another Toyota rental driver could show me where the lever was (next to the driver on the floor). The return in Christchurch was smooth and without any issues. There wasn't any damage and my bond was released.
