Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 714 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the staff for their efficiency, welcoming demeanor, and professional attitude, making the pickup process easy and pleasant. The booking process is often described as straightforward and hassle-free, with many appreciating the competitive pricing and the quality of the cars, which are typically clean, well-maintained, and suitable for their needs. Many people highlight the excellent service, noting that everything from pickup to return is smooth and without complications, leading to a highly satisfying overall experience. However, some customers also noted issues with hidden fees that were not disclosed upfront, particularly for additional charges at the point of collection. There were also instances where the reserved car was not available, leading to being stranded or receiving a less desirable alternative, and some experienced long waits due to understaffing. A few other people also felt that the car quality was poor, with some vehicles having significant damage or lacking basic features like Bluetooth.

Dear Graeme,

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us.

We understand that being provided with a vehicle displaying speed in km/h rather than mph can feel unfamiliar and inconvenient, especially when driving in a country that uses miles. Your comfort and confidence while driving are very important, and we appreciate you highlighting this.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to provide you with a smoother and more comfortable rental experience in the future.

Great price and service

Great price, free pick-up and drop-off at Queenstown Airport and a hassle-free hire. The car was very basic, the radio didn’t even have Bluetooth, but the price was so low and the scenery so stunning that the radio wasn’t missed at all.

Efficient collection

After walking the wrong direction we found drivo. The collection process was efficient and courteous. Everything was explained and the car was presented with a minor issue. The issue was corrected very quickly. Return was equally efficient and painfree.

Ease to make a booking and a great price too.
If you don't need the premium insurance coverage you need to toggle this on/off a few times to ensure it's not added to the final price.
Best deal I could find and with a known rental car provider (in this case Budget). I would use Orbit again.
