10 Car Rental Brands in Picton, Marlborough, New Zealand

Picking up the car was convenient, but returning it required dropping the keys in the box when no one was at the office, which made me a bit worried.

At the car rental point in Picton, a ship had just arrived, and I had to wait in line for half an hour at the office door. Two elderly ladies were working, and they were very friendly. When it was my turn, I had prepared all the necessary documents in advance; they reviewed them, swiftly printed the contract, and handed over the keys. The parking lot is about a 2-minute drive from the port office. One of the ladies, worried I might not find the car, accompanied me to the parking lot. There were no upsells at the counter; they just asked if I needed to return the car with an empty tank. They informed me the gas price was 2.5 per liter and assured me that full insurance covered everything, advising me to drive carefully and not to worry. On the way to the parking lot, she kept reminding me to drive on the left, not to speed, and to practice driving in the lot before hitting the road. She even came out to check on me while I was practicing to see if I needed any help. I am very grateful to her. A true exemplary employee of Hertz.

Hertz is relatively more expensive compared to other companies, but QEEQ offers a pretty decent price. The car was quite new and the return process was very convenient.

Picking up the car at the dock incurs an additional fee of about 50 NZD compared to picking it up at the store.

There were no staff at the office and so needed to wait. Their IT set up was rudimentary, but the staff member I dealt with was very pleasant

The car was exactly the same as mine at home so I could just get in and drive away. 2 pointers: It would be really useful to include the cargo cover as we had to drive around for 16 days with our suitcases on view. Luckily no one was interested but not having one could encourage theft. A mobile phone holder would be really useful for using Google Maps, etc.

Terrible car provided. 2011 Nissan Tilda that was in bad condition.

The lady who helped me with the paperwork was very enthusiastic and serious, but the car wasn’t clean when it was handed over to me. The windows were covered in grease marks and the floor had footprints. Since we picked up the car at night and were in a hurry, we didn’t make a big deal about it. We cleaned it ourselves the next morning.

Good service.

Car was good but terrible service at counter. Long delay because of possible staff shortage. Unnecessary detail required by counter staff and explanations of unattractive options. A charge of $30 because of location and high office rental was extortion!!
