Literally the worst car rental experience I have ever had.
Only posting one picture — that of the van with over 160,000 kilometers on it (over 100,000 miles) — as it tells you all you need to know. Van was probably from the 1990s (it is now the year 2022!), Awful stench emanating from the vehicle (likely urine, vomit, old food, etc.), 3 grimy children car seats, a door that doesn’t fully shut, power/auto key lock that doesn’t work, tires with little traction (huge safety issue) that spun out on a hill (almost rolled backed into the car behind us), poor upfront customer service and no (zero) in-rental customer service, and to top things off, a bright purple and green color (with no advance disclosure this would be the case) to the van! Had a decent experience with Jucy the first and only other time I rented with them, but will never return. Renter should seriously beware!

DO NOT USE JUCY!
You have been warned. They didn't clean our van and we had to clean someone else's hair off our bedding, someone else's possessions out of the van and clean someone else's food off the kitchen and camp table. This was during COVID when they promise to do extra cleaning. The van was also fitted with illegal tyres which we had to get changed during our holiday - which took two days out of our trip. Jucy didn't give a damn either - they gave us $200 back (out of $1800!!) but only because we pushed. They didn't even call us. Absolutely disgusting service. They have a terrible reputation and now we know why. Every Jucy van driver we spoke to over 2 weeks had problems too. Don't do it - you'll regret it.

Me and 3 friends rented a Jucy Styla car from Christchurch.
Pick up from the Christchurch outlet was a breeze and customer service was excellent even though it was on a busy Christmas eve afternoon. Drop-off at the Dunedin Airport outlet was very easy as well. The car worked fine with good petrol efficiency, although there were obvious signs of wear and tear when we got the car eg. scratched tyre rims, slight scratches on the body, slightly torn seats. Customer service was aware of this and acknowledged these wear and tear, so it worked out fine. Would definitely recommend this company for long-distance drives.

Growing up in New Zealand I always thought Jucy Campervans would be amazing, the bright green vans are everywhere and everyone seems to enjoy them.
For us, camping with a Jucy Compass Campervan was not this case. When we arrived to pick up our van we weren’t greeted, 3 employees continued to chat amongst themselves about their personal life and one stood up and announced he was going for a “durrie” (cigarette). One of the employees finally decided to look up our reservation. After a good 20 minutes we sat there waiting for her to work out how to do her job. The lady mentioned that because we had booked “Stress Free Insurance” we would get the camping chairs for free! Lovely we thought, until she had seen we already pre-paid so the free add on chairs were out of the question now... it took her a further 20 minutes to work out if we had paid in full for the whole campervan or if we had a remaining balance, in which she had to ask another 2 employees to help her. We were then asked to wait outside for another 20 minutes until the lady drove our campervan around from the back and began to give us a very uneducated, uninformative description about how the campervan worked and it’s features - none of which she had any idea about what she was talking about. If English was my second language I would struggle to understand this process with Jucy and the way their employees act. After a near 1.5 hour delay we were finally on the road to begin our road trip. A 7 hour drive later we arrived and figured our how the features of the van worked by ourselves. We discovered 1 camping chair broken, the van speakers were blown and the secondary battery didn’t work so we had no refrigeration. On return of the vehicle no form of a sorry or discount was even offered to amend this annoying and last time experience with Jucy. On top of that, the social media manager of Jucy “Lucy” replies to questions online but is rude and unhelpful.

We booked and paied for a campervan weeks in advance.
We got the car in Auckland today before 9am. After a 2h drive, the car just broke. Now it’s 9pm, we are still stucked, with no car and no solution. We lost the whole day and are about to lose another one because nobody in the 24h jucy service knows anything. They put us in a hotel and did not tell us what to do or what to expect. Honestly they could not care less about their costumers.

DO NOT USE JUCY - THEY SCAM CREDIT CARDS!
I rented a car in Sydney and dropped it off in Brisbane from October into November 2018. I agreed to pay for the extra one way fee and thought that all went ok. Then on January 2nd 2019 my credit card got charged for an extra $95 by Jucy rental cars. When I asked what this was for they told me it was an additional "stress free cover" they had forget to charge me for.
I can not believe that any company has the cheek to steal money from a credit card over 2 months after the rental agreement has finished.

I didn’t like anything.
I booked a car three months before arriving and, when I arrived the car was not there. I spent the whole day in the office trying to fix the problem and, after 5 hours, they gave me another car. Again, another problem: the car was really bad. They gave me a car way worse than the one I booked, with 250.000km. When I ask for a compensation because the car they gave me was worse than the one I booked, their answer was: “I cannot refund you any money because today, that we are fully booked, the prize of this car that is worse than the one you booked is higher than the other one”. When I booked the car the prize of the one they gave me was even less than half. A complete joke. Conclusion: they made me lose a whole day of my holidays and they did not even compensate me because of the difference on the prize of the cars and neither because of making me lose a whole day on holidays.

We hired a cabana van for one week in the north island last month , and we were unimpressed to say the least with Jucy staff a the Auckland branch mainly (Wellington drop off wasn’t much better, where
there was nobody at the desk to receive our keys, I had to go into the workshop to find someone who then took another 10mins to come to the counter) where we picked our van up. We had to wait 3.5hrs for the van to be ready. It took the incompetent staff 1.5hrs to clean the first van and the figure out that it had mechanical issues, it then took another 2 hrs to clean another van. Great start to our holiday thanks Jucy!! :(. The young girl who “showed us” how everything worked in the van had terrible manners and customer service, most of the staff were sitting around doing nothing! When another customer who was also waiting for her van asked how long it would take another young rude staff member said “I have no idea, couldn’t tell you”. Not good enough Jucy get some decent training for your first point of contact staff. So bad, I will never use or recommend your company ever!! And the fridge never worked at all. We had to keep buying ice to keep our food cold.

While initially a good experience with Jucy, this was however overshadowed by the lack of communication and disregard towards my concerns.
I rented a car with Jucy in December 2016,
I picked up the car paying in full the amount owed. On three occasions, whilst at Jucy in New Zealand, I requested they check I had paid in full, only to return and be charged five months later an additional amount of money without any prior notification. After countless phone calls I finally received an email replying to inform me that I had not been notified as the initial email failed to send. After explaining my situation, and needing to send this email twice, as I had not received a reply in over a week, my email has now been forwarded to the feedback team. Now, over a week later, I have had no contact, nor any explanation for this very annoying situation.
Would definitely not recommend renting from Jucy!

Super long queue for car return!
I have waited for more than 45 minutes to return the car, because of the long queue, lack of staff and extreme slow efficiency! I can't expect such a long waiting time (as I used to use other world wide car rental company in the past which takes only a minute to return the car). I almost missed my flight just due to the poor service of this car rental company! I don't know why they are so slow and also just 2 staffs to serve both pickup and return. That is absolutely unacceptable!
I will NEVER try this car rental company in the future! NEVER! Don't try this unless you can accept using 1 hour to stand on the queue for the car return process!

Horrendous experience with jucy, we booked a car rental 3 weeks in advance for a 9am pick up.
We arrived at 9am and were told that our car wasn't ready because it was being cleaned, we were kept waiting over 1 hour and the car was still nowhere near ready. Some customers who arrived after us were released their cars, others were also told their car wasn't ready. Unfortunately we had a surf lesson booked and paid for which we then couldn't attend because they wouldn't release the car to us. We noticed that other customers were returning cars at 9am, the same pick up time that had been booked out to us. It's quite obvious that if one customer is only returning the car at 9am then it couldn't possibly be ready for another customer also at 9am! It seems this company care far more about making money than they do about customer satisfaction, we will never rent with jucy again and I would strongly recommend other customers think twice before making a booking!

Customer service terrible!
Do not answer emails. Changes requested months prior and not done, had to constantly follow up right to the day before pickup - by phoning them. 2 girls doing both pick up and drop off - if you are catching a flight - get to Jucy really early to drop your car off as the line up of customers is long. The car we were given had a dodgy seat belt as in while driving along it suddenly went loose - this happened after we were a couple of days into our trip - very dangerous. No receipt of deposit when handing our car back. The young girl (Hassan) who served us when picking up the vehicle gave us no information. (I overheard the other young lady telling other customers how to pay for road tolls!) The young lady serving us was also making fun of other customers to her colleague. When my husband did the vehicle inspection with her and found faults on the vehicle she constantly rolled her eyes, he had to continually tell her to write it down. The Navigator we hired for a ridiculous daily price wasn't charged and the power adapters that came with it didn't work. My advice - if you do use them - get there early when dropping off, go over the vehicle thoroughly before accepting it.

First car broke down after 1 1/2 weeks and they asked me to get it repaired (would have been 3 days without a car and I hab to get the ferry to Wellington) took them a day to get me a new car but they said I'll get a refund in aukland. Last day of my stay in NZ the second car broke down! First AA Motoring couldn't do a thing so they got another with a crane. After one hours we called them and said that we are gonna get a taxi now cause we need to get the plane. He technecly forbid that to us cause we still had the keys so we handed them to our host and got someone to carry me to the airport. They said that I can either get my plane or my refund. What the fuck is wrong with them?! They already said that I get a refund but only if I miss my plane?! Really bad experience and I'm not going to rent a car from jucy ever again!

The worst ever NZ car rental company that I've come across with!!
The car that we got was so badly maintained, smelly and noisy. During my rental, a small damage occurred to the passenger side mirror, and I was charged an excess. Couple of weeks after that, I received an email saying that there's no repair cost and a full refund will be issued back to me. It's been 2 months now, and I've received nothing yet. I've emailed and called them but their customer service is the worst! They just don't give a damn. Instead of solving the problem, they provide numbers to me to call to settle this issue. I called them up but it goes to their irritating Jucy automated response, with no one bothering to call me back.
Stay very very far away from this company. They are cheap for a reason and it will come back to haunt you when you need to deal with them!!

Pick up at Akl airport branch, shuttle was prompt, polite and courteous.
At depot, seemed to be severely understaffed and had to wait for approx 45 mins. When I finally tended to, it only took minutes to complete paperwork. Rent a Fiat Punto, new and in excellent condition. I only found out how to turn off the automatic engine shut off function on my last day of rental ***there's a button on the dashboard you can press****, could have save myself a lot of sanity if I had been reading the accompany leaflet before starting to drive. Anyway, drop off was effortless, just handed key over and walk away pretty much as I bought the full cover insurance. Shuttle was nice and polite as usual. Might rent from them again if the price was right. I think the slow service at the depot is the part that really put me off.

Terrible!!
Please do not use them, spend a little extra and use a reputable company. There are hidden fees designed to extort additional money that are hidden at the time of rental. I stupidly used them thinking I would save a few dollars but they stung me with entirely unnecessary 'admin' charges (of $120) a few weeks after I returned the car.
They did nothing to satisfactorily address my questions about these charges and instead lied on social media to cover their tracks and save face.
They have lost a customer who hires cars 10's of times a year as they are greedy and have no long term view on their business.
Oh, and the car was in terrible condition, dirty and full of knocks and scrapes. Avoid like the plague.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for leaving this review - despite us doing everything we could to help you out via email! We didn't lie on social media - unfortunately you received several speeding fines and signed a contract agreeing to pay admin fees should these occur. I understand you're really upset about these fines but there is a lot of necessary admin involved for us to transfer speeding fines into your name and we are confident that we have addressed all your concerns via email.
Should you have any further questions please contact us directly as you have been doing.
Have a great day,
Lucy

Took over an hour an a half to get the vehicle ready.
Booked for 8am but shuttle took a while to arrive and then despite being first to the desk was last out with the car. Poor service by the girl behind the desk, no polite conversation and no apology for the long wait. No one checked in with us the whole time we stood and waited. 30 second demo of how to fit snow chains - not very settling to those who have never used them before. Asked to sign the forms about damage on the car without seeing the car? Only booked with Jucy to get ski4free coupons - never got these or were told how to use them. Sadly the snow was minimal so we didn't go anyway. Was happy to get an instant response when I tweeted our situation only to not hear anything back after sending the booking reference. Woke up early to head to the ski fields from Queenstown but found the car wouldn't start. Called Jucy and was asked if I could just go and find someone with jump leads, not too helpful.
The problem is these are just small issues that could be simply solved. I understand things go wrong but often a smile, an apology or just some personalised service can diffuse a situation. Without this I jus ended up angry and unlikely to use Jucy again or recommend to anyone.

We arrived in Christchurch and had to just walk 10 minutes to Jucy.
We were renting a manual car with four seats but got an automatic with five seats - so perfect!
