Stop searching for a rental company and just use Mode! They are legit and great! Super easy to use website, customer service at locations was lovely, and they even sorted my airport parking for my vehicle and included all transport to and from the airport for free! The rental car was in great shape, good tread on the tires, and used barely any gas for driving daily. Will use 100% when I need a car rental and airport parking
Very friendly, fast service I could extend my rental easily. The car already had some scratches, but they took pictures of it and it was no problem when I returned it. Clean car, I had no problems at all At the end they even drove me to the airport. Thank you!
Really disappointed with the customer service from mode rentals. Hired a van for a small trip around Queenstown this week and when driving 2 of the hubcaps (which were only cable tied on) came off the car through no fault of our own. They charged us $100 per hubcap that came off despite the issue clearly being the way it was attached to the car. Extremely disappointing form, don’t recommend.
We hired a van from Mode Rentals, after a couple of trip the hubcaps flew off (despite being cable tied on), we explained we were going slow in a low gear down the mountain, and were driving very safely. Mode rentals then charged us $100 per hubcap, which we were very disappointed about. Poor customer service
Mode Rentals Queenstown are charging us $100 for a missing hubcap, even though all four hubcaps were cable tied on within an inch of their life. The team were unwilling to compromise on this. Poor customer service.
I never got my $600 bond back got completely scammed $600 highly wouldn’t recommend
Another brilliant experience from Mode. Quick pick up and drop off from airport.Great car and lovely friendly staff.Will always be my go too.
Very easy and the staff were super helpful and responsive to questions. Also very well located. Would use again and recommend to future travellers.
Everything was super smooth from collecting the car to returning the car. We were given the guaranteed model and that was great. Even returning car is from a third party, the instructions given were clear.
Good service with good price. We enjoyed detailed guidance and our every email inquiry was answered in timely manner.
Car was in a good clean state, was modern and although compact in size I still had plenty of room and I am 6'2". Freindly, helpful staff Airport shuttle staff were also freindly and all had a smile
This is our third time with Mode and there will be more in the future. Quick,easy to get on the road, great back up support and drop off straight forward. Highly recommend
Very disappointing with the service. The car it self was old but passable, and CarPlay does not work as it's missing software. Had the battery depleted the morning after the pickup (we picked up the car late and basically parked it with everything turned off) and ended up having to pay for road side assistance. Company claim no fault and I have no proof so that's $200 out of pocket. Zero discussion as the battery wasn't at fault. I would understand if this was my fault but I ensured no lights were left on when the car was packed and locked. That's approx 8 hours (less) of leaving the car unattended without headlights on (or overhead lights), so obviously the battery was already pretty depleted. Prior to picking up the car, I reached out twice about a roof rack for skis and both times were confused for snow chains. Should have realised back then when I booked. I get that they're cheaper but that's because they're not on site at the airport. I think they could do better. Never again. Not worth the hassle of crappy service and crappy experience.
mode rentals saved my butt! My group of friends is not the best organized, so we quickly realized when we got to Queenstown that we wouldn't all fit into one rental car along with our skis. Thankfully mode was really flexible and was able to rent us a second car within just 15 minutes. The price was very reasonable and their service was speedy and efficient. Definitely one of the best car rental experiences I've had.
Staff were super easy to deal with, and you didn’t have to be 21 like every other rental. Pick up and drop off was super quick and easy and prices were very fair.
We had an extremely smooth pick up and drop off! Staff were fantastic and pleasant! Car was clean and tidy, overall very happy 🙂
great service,nice staff
Price for vehicle fair and for time rented Easy return.
