I thought the car rental place was at the airport but couldn't find it; almost did not get car

The instructions for contacting for picking up are frustratingly unclear and unhelpful and could be updated to say, go to the end of the international terminal, out the door, and wait for a van with the logo xxxx. There was no phone to call for clarity. I then missed the first shuttle.

Car was certainly used; many dents, scrathes, and star chip on the windscreen. Stereo speakers were lousy. There was a very loud rattle from the forward end of the vehichle. All noted at end of trip and they said they would report them to mechanic. Car ran fine and did the job comfortably.

The customer service team with this was extremely unprofessional - both in person as well as on the phone where communication was not clear and was difficult. After a 10 minute wait for pick up from the airport, 35 minutes was spent at the depot while the car was washed outside (it was not cleaned prior to our pick up) and the serviceman signing documentation with us made racist comments about others. Discount Car Rentals also stung with a $3000 bond that was not expressed clearly beforehand, especially when we had already covered $0 Excess insurance cover. Afterhours drop off was a breeze as it was with a 3rd party who were much more professional in their business, and we were able to complete drop off in less than 10 minutes.

Discount Car Rentals is great, only issue I had is that their pick-up/drop-off location does not populate on maps in my Iphone. It took me awhile before I could figure out how to get to the location. **Pick-up was no issue as you just meet them at the airport**

Like: For my wife and myself, an elderly couple the Vizz is an excellent choice for new Zealand roads. It has sufficient power, easy to drive, easy to park. runs excellently. Company feedback was excellent.
Dislike: Actually the only thing is to make sure the customer knows that the pick up shuttle is not from Easy Rent cars but actually is from Discount car rentals. Knowing this would have saved some confusion at Auckland airport at midnight on the first leg of our holiday, otherwise all was good.
