Hidden costs and no mention anywhere in t&c about excess being $5900 which meant we had to buy insurance with dollar (ours only covered $5k excess). Ended up costing more than 2x “total”.

Arrived to pick up my car expecting to get the Corolla that I had booked, Then I got told that my car was not available, So I asked what car am I getting and he said it’s gonna be a Toyota HiLux which I had never driven, when I went to the car I saw it was not what I wanted at all and thought how am I going to drive this? I then went back and asked the guy to change the car for something smaller and he said it was the HiLux or an 8 seater Pajero, So I said ok I’ll take the Pajero, which was no Corolla. The whole time I had the truck I was not happy and had trouble parking the thing, I was not happy with the truck considering I didn’t want it at all, I would not recommend

As a 1st time user with Ace left me disappointed 😞 from time of making the booking through to picking up vehicle which had the window screen replaced the day of pickup with tape on the window to be told "keep it there for an hour then you can pull it off" most disconcerting to having to drive away and lucky no rain to have to use the windscreen wipers!!! Also asked for some compensation but didn't get any

Great little car and rental experience...very economical Corolla and comfortable and drove well.. bit of confusion between it getting 'checked-in' at the airport with Hertz not informing Ace we had dropped off at appointed time forcing Ace to contact us a few days after wondering where car was...all in all a positive experience!!

We got a flat tyre and there was no spare. Could not use the car for 2 days. Impossible to find out how much they charge for replacing tyre (tyre was irreparable). Spent hours on the phone only to be told they could not tell me how much it would cost, so I had to replace tyre myself. Very frustrating.

Well your fee did not include the one way drop off fee etc so it was double what was quoted. Then we ended up not needing the car 20 minutes later and they charged us for the entire car

In hindsight, I would have hired a bigger car than a Swift. It was a wee uncomfortable as every bump on the road was felt. I'm not sure whether because the car was too small or because the tyres were an inch thick. I prefer the regular standard tyres which can absorb the bumps and have a comfortable ride instead of slick-looking tyres with a bumpy uncomfortable ride.
