Excellent Service and Friendly Staff

Had a great experience with HireAce! The staff were super friendly, easy to communicate with, and very helpful throughout the whole process. If you're looking to rent a van, I highly recommend them – they make everything simple and stress-free.

Poor refund experience

I have used Hireace a number of times with no issues however I have experienced an issue with a booked and paid for cancellation. The cancellation was done 32 days prior to the booked date so no issue there. The actual cancellation took place 17 days ago and I am yet to receive the refund despite 2 follow up phone calls. I can recommend them on all levels EXCEPT REFUNDS.

Helpful and friendly staff

We were able to pick up the truck the night before, so we could load it up that night in order to get an early start in the morning. Long drive to Tauranga and back.
The truck was clean and mechanically sound.
A pleasure to deal with Hireace.

Perfect service!

Down from the hire/booking process, through to the pick up and drop of process. It was perfect! What I had originally sought after in terms of vehicle hire was not available for the date I had requested. However, I received a phone call and they had mitigated that by offering me a vehicle that was of, if not of better size and at the same value! Upon pick up and drop off, the service from Sharnia at the Onehunga branch was just as perfect. Great experience received from all the team involved!
