    Avoid this company!

    I had an issue with a car they gave me tried to call the roadside assistance number but the number straight up didn’t work. Couldn’t get in touch with the office either. I ended up spending a lot of money on a cab and was eventually charged because they couldn’t find anything wrong with the car despite the fact that I wasn’t able to drive it. I tried to fix the solution with their office providing proof of my attempts to reach out for help only to have the service not work. They literally ignored my emails and stopped responding to me despite them being in direct violation of their rental agreement. I’m an avid solo traveler and this was the worst experience I’ve had with a car rental company of any country I’ve rented from. I was so terrified that something was really wrong with the car and was stranded in a foreign country. It’s pretty rare for me to leave a review but head my warning and take your business elsewhere.

    The worst shuttle experience.

    Was left behind 3 times at the airport making me wait a whole hour and had to wait outside in the cold. The app didn’t work either and when I told the staff instore she said “oh yeah it doesn’t work”

    Instore I waited an additional hour because only 2 staff looked after 3 van loads of people and they had technical difficulties.

    Won’t book with Ace ever again

    Run from Australia, outrageously overpriced, will not provide a tax invoice when payment is taken (dodgy!), just a no all around.

    Also, why don't bad reviews show up on their google reviews?? WTF google??

    I picked up my rental car early and found the staff were very accommodating.

    The vehicle was well maintained despite being an older model, it ran well and was economical. No worries at all with the engine power even on some very steep roads. The car had a few minor dents and scratches but these were noted by the staff and photos had been taken. Returned the car with no drama at all and got a lift to the International Airport straight away. I totally recommend Ace to anyone and will use them again next time I travel in New Zealand.

    Best car rental company for Auckland airport.

    We have researched extensively and hired from several competitivly priced companies in the past few weeks. ACE was best for its price, very fast pickups and dropoffs from its nearby location (that one could probably walk to even if you dont have luggage) The staff were all very friendly. Car was clean and ready to go. Best rate for small vehicle including full insurance. Will definitely be using them again.

    When we picked up the car, Ace Rental made a mistake and we had to lose much time with this.

    But the price is good.

    If I could rate ACE zero, I would.

    Hired a car with them to explore the South Island, and was enjoying my trip so asked to extend it twice. They agreed to extend my existing agreement - and then I noticed a large sum of money taken from my account. They started a new agreement instead of extending my previous one as they had agreed, and charged me the maximum possible for the rental, without telling me. I consider this to be fraud. The car was old and battered, fine for the initial price but definitely not for the increased price. I have contacted them politely numerous times but they have ignored my emails. I am now having to try to reclaim the money through my credit card. Please save yourself a headache and don’t use this company!

    Whole booking was hassle free.

    Collection from the airport was within 5 minutes of arrival. The staff were all very friendly, the car was perfect. We had ordered a GPS, and they didn't just hand it to us to install ourselves, but came out and checked to make sure it was working well. Return was also very efficient and drop off to the airport was very quick. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again.

    Very cheap daily rate for older car with higher kilometres.

    Car was quite satisfactory for the price.

    Needed two baby anchors which I requested and they provided without any issues.

    Accidentally left my mobile in the car when returning to Auckland airport. Realised after we'd already cleared customs and couldn't get back out. I called them and they found it and sent someone to pass it on to customs so they could bring it through before we got on our flight - this was very nice of them to do at no hesitation.

    We have used this company on several previous occasions and until this year all had gone well.

    However this year our experience was very different. Despite having booked a 0 - 3 years vehicle for a 5 week rental period the car we were given at Auckland airport was in poor condition with 160000 km on the clock. As no suitable alternative vehicle was available we reluctantly had to take it. Within 24 hours the car had broken down with a fault which the roadside repair guy said was potentially dangerous and should have been detected in the pre release check. We then had to wait 48 hours for a replacement vehicle to be supplied and had lots of communication difficulties. We subsequently sent several emails to Ace requesting compensation for the period we were without a vehicle but to date have not received a response. We shall not therefore be using this company again.

    Would not recommend cars are old and scruffy ours had done nearly 200000 km and it stunk like homeless people had been living in it ( had to buy an air freshener) and they gave us a GPS that didn’t hold

    its charge had to use phone instead very unprofessional and Auckland staff very unfriendly find a better option it would be worth the extra money

    I was going to do a relocation of an Ace rental car and it did not work because the staff said my credit card is not a credit card!

    Staff was really rude, unwilling to find a solution. My card has been accepted in many rental companies with no issue. I found the staff was challenging the nature of my credit card to impose their insurance policies on me, when I had already purchased insurance with a specialized company. An extremely bad customer experience with Ace rentals. And a very poor conversation on what a credit card is, with a stubborn person not willing to check any information.
