Customer Reviews of Car Rentals

    Nelson

    8/10

    Very good

    Great but we were not told that we would not get KIA Seltos. Instead we were given a Nissan Qashqai. There was a KIA Seltos parked right next to the nissan we got. That’s pretty disappointing. Would be great if we were told before we were given the car. We felt like we were downgraded since we got an older car (2022) and the KIA Seltos we saw parking next to us was a newer (2025) car.

    The car was very new and easy to drive. It comfortably fit 3 people and 4 suitcases, and it was fuel-efficient. The vehicle was in great condition, with only 19,000 km on the odometer. Both the pickup and drop-off procedures were very convenient. The staff provided quick service.

    Like: Family and friends visit. Great trip
    Dislike: The staff member at uplift advised there was no insurance cover in the contract and tried to sell me further cover. Sorting through travel documents for the AXA confirmation letter to prove insurance was in place should not have been necessary.

    The unlock button on the key fob for my car did not work, which I wasn’t told about when picking up the car. It led to the car alarm going off every time I manually unlocked the car. Luckily I sorted it out myself, but would have liked more help from the car rental on this.
