 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic car rental experience! The car was very new, clean, and in great condition. Everything went smoothly throughout the rental.

We had a bit of an unexpected situation when returning the car and were almost at risk of missing our flight. We called the rental company, and they were incredibly helpful and responsive. They guided us through everything and helped us sort it out quickly, making the return process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to their help, we made it to the airport and caught our flight in time!

Really appreciate the great service. Highly recommend this rental company — absolutely fantastic!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic Service from Garry and Team. The car runs like butter. The pickup and drop off was very good too from airport. We had a little issue with child seat but Garry was very supportive with that. We would definitely recommend Best Car Rentals for hiring any car for Queenstown Holidays.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rented a Mitsubishi Triton for a week in Queenstown and BCR made the experience super easy! I miscalculated my flight landing time and they were easily able to accommodate me out of their opening hours which made picking up the car a breeze. I also was able to return the snow chains I had rented and since I didn’t use them I was offered a full refund which was incredible. When I dropped off the car I was in a rush to the airport and their complimentary shuttle was still a while away so one of the staff members personally drove me to the airport. The car itself was a dream to drive, ran perfectly, and was spotless when I picked it up. When I return to Queenstown I will undoubtedly rent a car from here again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very easy to deal with and very good car, clean and brand new! For such a good price and great customer service, made my trip across South Island so easy and magical. Would definitely recommend everyone to book through them and their counterparts in Christchurch,  I got the new ASX Mitsubishi Outlander and it came equipped with all the tools necessary to make my trip great.
