Our Car rental service reviews

Had a great experience with Mint Auckland Car Rental Company. Shuttle service was quick and after hours support was fantastic. Actual person to talk too.

Karen Sumner

I hired a premium economy car with full insurance in November 2019 for 19 days, the total cost was around £300 yes I had to recheck it as well. The car was in great condition and never faulted on me once and was really good on petrol. The pick up and drop off process was very easy and quick, I would highly recommend them. As a bonus I informed them I might be a little over the drop off time by an hr or two, and this was no problem at all. Then dropped back at the airport straight away whitch takes about 5 mins.

Paul Bennett

Totally recommend Mint Rentals! The communication with Anthony & team was informative and timely. The pick up at the airport went seamlessly; we had to collect the car from their afterhours partner but there were no problems or delays with that either. I opted for the full cover zero excess insurance as I was sharing the vehicle with friends. One friend had a small scrape with a post & I was worried that the zero excess wouldn't actually be zero (you hear such horror stories with some rental companies) but Mint were great, we didn't get charged any excess. They even posted my glasses back to me (in Australia!) that had fallen underneath the seat. I can't tell you how grateful I was for that. If I'm lucky enough to holiday in NZ again I will definitely use Mint Rentals again.

Fiona Roslin

Excellent service and car from Mint Rentals. No hidden fees or additional charges, and a free shuttle to the airport. Will definitely use them again the next time I\'m in New Zealand.
