Reviews of u-save Van & Truck Hire Christchurch

M. H.

Got the truck from Orchard Road in Christchurch, near the Airport. Thank you very much ! Don't know how there can be so many bad reviews for Usave. Might be mainly Auckland branches with Auckland customers ;D Anyway, I did book a truck online for 24 hours to move a household with 3 kids to a new home. All the costs were clearly stated on the website and the booking process. I estimated a total of around $ 180 (without Diesel) with hire cost, $20 insurance and roughly the kilometers I'll drive and expected $200, as there is always something. The total costs were actually $ 183 after all and I filled up around $ 17 worth of Diesel. A very good price for a moving truck for 24 hours. Could have had another hire company closer to me, which would have cost around $ 240 for only 5 hours ! Furthermore the pickup and return was easy and fast, the stuff as friendly and professional as it can be and the truck was in perfect working order. Thank you and if I need a truck again I surely know I'll choose Usave again.

Easy to use, quick turnaround, friendly helpful staff, clean site & truck, loved the previous customer button online, it saved a whole lot of time (& one day we may get loyalty rewards 😉

I had a great experience with the Christchurch office. I rented a mazda demio and GPS for about 3 weeks. The price was quite low considering the car was fairly new. I had to call once and also had a great experience with them over the phone. Returning the car was straight forward - had no problems. They even offered to drive me home because it was raining outside. Overall excellent service!

We booked a truck today and picked it up at the airport at around 3 o'clock 07/01/2021. After we had loaded the things onto the truck, we found out that one of the back left tires were flat. We then phoned USAVE and they told us to contact AA by ourselves. AA told us that because this was a heavy vehicle, they couldn't change the tire. Now we have to have our staff unload everything and it has already been around 3 hours and we still haven't finished. They have wasted our whole afternoon and all the staff. As a rental company, you should have checked everything before renting it out instead of renting out a useless truck with a flat tire. I'm very disappointed with the service. Update: Changed to another truck this morning. The manager came out to apologise and offered a discount. I'm quite satisfied with the way the manager handled it.

Good ongoing hiring experiences with this branch. Cheaper rates and while fleet are older, the cars received have so far been reliable. Reasonable price for zero excess insurance cover. Staff have been friendly. Nothing reasonable to complain about.

Recommend this place as the easiest and cheapest way to move house in Christchurch. We don't have a truck license but can hire the smallest truck. Overnight Friday- Saturday $90. Plus petrol for us it was just $10 diesel and kms again for us It was $18. We traveled all around the west of town, halswell, yaldhurst, wigram sockburn two long trips.

G. F.

Great service as always from these guys. Vehicle was great value, clean and reliable. Airport pick up and drop off was awesome. Danni went out of her way to make this an enjoyable weekend trip to Christchurch. Highly recommended.

A. M.

I've used USAVE car rentals maybe half a dozen times over the years for NZ road trip holidays and they've always been fantastic. To be blunt - the cars themselves are a little on the old side and have the odd ding, but the prices are much less than the premium competitors. The cars themselves have always been in completely fine working order and I've covered thousands of kilometers without a problem. The staff have also always been extremely helpful, and the airport pickup/dropoff has always been easy. Definitely recommend.

B. T.

We hired a large 4WD at short notice at a very competitive price. Pick up was excellent. The person at U Save came out and did the vehicle check with me (which is a change from normal hire car practise) and gave me a thorough demonstration of how to fit the snow chains (in case I needed them) (I didn't ... whew!) and other good advice. Good vehicle and no problems for the 4 days we had it.

M. (.

The team at USAVE are absolutely fantastic! They are friendly, helpful and the quality of service is definitely not reflected by the price. I looked all around for a good deal on a van to be able to relocate from Christchurch to Auckland and once i called USAVE i knew they would be the ones that could look after me. All other rental places i looked at were priced well over $100 for the same vehicle for the trip i was undertaking. I definitely recomend coming to the team at USAVE to sort out all of your rental vehicle needs.

A. E.

fantastic customer service . prices are great! seriously will never move with a trailer again. we got the largest truck we could without an HT.... easiest move ever. truck was extremely tidy and easy to handle. definitely recommend... you will save at USAVE 😉

M. R.

I have rented off USAVE for the last three years every July for the family ski trip south. Have never had a problem, they're always on time at the airport for pickup and drop off, the car is always clean and very well maintained. I would highly recommend them to any friend. A great value rental car company. Mark

As far as accommodations and rates go, we were very pleased with this rental car company. After checking a few companies, we decided to ask the info desk at Christchurch Airport who they recommended, and this was the company they suggested. They had the best rates we could find along with the lowest airport transfer fees (we were dropping the car in Auckland 3 weeks later). We rented a Nissan Tida, and the car ran great, and took us thousands of miles across New Zealand. No complaints!

A. C.

Easy, and affordable. This was the perfect vehicle for what we needed. Great location if you fly, plus a free airport shuttle. Super friendly and helpful staff. You can't go wrong when USAVE!

M. B.

The staff at USAVE are very helpful and also very friendly. Both times we have hired vehicles from them we've gotten excellent customer service. The vehicles are generally in good condition too, so would recommend for anyone doing some shifting house to look these guys up!

J. L.

Great vehicle. Good value and fantastically helpful staff!

M. J. V.

Manu and the crew were very friendly and helpful, and supplied me a truck that was totally fit for purpose. I recommend U-Save as they are approachable and know what they are doing. In particular, they stepped up at short notice, which I really appreciated. Mike V

I have been booking USave vans for our groups visits to Christchurch for a number of years and not once have I ever had an issue with them. Great service, fast communication and always delivered with the goods when we needed them.

T. T.

I recently had to move house and needed a good size truck, so while I was at work (painter/decorator) I noticed this truck at a house that I just painted, with USAVE Car &Truck Rentals advertised on the side of the truck, so I wrote down the number and gave them a call to make a booking. when I went in to pick the truck up, it was very tidy in the cab, in fact it felt brand new,the staff were friendly and helpful, I will definitely use this company again.

C. B.

great place to rent. The service was superb. The vehicle ready on time, renting was straight forward and I had 5 days of hassle free motoring. The staff were friendly and obliging. this is the fifth time I have rented from these people and I will certainly continue to use their services.

I. S.

Fantastic service, great little car. Staff make you feel part of the family. Pick up was too easy, no wandering lost around the airport. Premises excellent. A real Kiwi experience Won’t be looking anywhere else.

J. B.

Our trip through the South Island was incredibly comfortable and hassle free thanks to the team at USAVE in Christchurch. Great service, a really friendly and helpful team, and some brilliant ideas of what to see and do on our journey. Our car was spotless inside and we got exactly what we were expecting from our online booking. Thanks USAVE Christchurch, we'll see you again next time we return to the South of New Zealand!

E. D.

Staff at the Christchurch depot were always willing to help, and kind friendly people. They were clear and concise communicators. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

T. M.

Was a great experience do clean everything explain everything the staff member he was AWESOME

A. N. G.

We had an excellent experience. Pick up and drop off were fast and straight forward and included a lift to the airport. The staff were friendly and we had no issues with our van. Great value for money.

P. C.

I actually booked my USAVE rental based on price, but the service was far better than I've experienced with other rental companies in New Zealand. Modern car, great price, friendly service, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

J. “. N.

Always use these guys. Either for their big furniture truck or a wee car to go on holiday. Very good rates and always have somthing available. Very friendly staff and reliable all round

B. G.

I'm about to use a USAVE truck to move flats for the third time in as many years. The vehicles are perfect for the job and easier to use than a trailer or a removals company if you don't mind a bit of lifting yourself and/or have some mates to help. The rates are very reasonable and these guys are a breeze to deal with.

C. R.

Truck rental very straightforward and efficient. Definitely above average for furniture rental trucks. Location close to Christchurch airport for those out of towners. Friendly helpful staff and open Saturday and Sunday is very useful. They also have rentals cars. Try to get one of the trucks with a tail lift hoist at the back, they are very labour saving.

G. E.

USAVE are my 'go too' rental company for truck hire! they are super friendly, they always have trucks available and they are competitively priced. USAVE understand that moving can be a stressful time, so it is refreshing to know that they are always willing to accommodate your needs and wants. Thanks USAVE!

M.

I've used USave's Auckland car hire service 10+ times. Nice that they do airport pickups and handy to be just 3 mins down the road, good vehicles, competitive rates and a bunch of friendly people. Keep up the great work USave team!

R. N.

Great value for car hire. Sure they are older vehicles. But they run perfectly and zero excess if you pay for coverage. Shuttle to and from airport as well. What more do you want!?

P. L. C.

I have used usave before and they were great in all aspects of their service. This time I rang around thinking I might find a cheaper option amongst the companies that didn't return my emails or answer their phone usave was the best price. Combining their price with service you cant go past usave for truck or car hire. Would recommend anyone to use usave. Great job guys and girls keep up the great service.

S.

Brilliant and simple company to deal with. Furniture removal sized truck in really good condition. Price typically unbeatable. Highly recommend.

A. C.

Friendly customer service. Easy and efficient pickup and drop off.

C. S.

Fantastic service, vehicle in excellent condition, fitted with all the optional extras we required. Staff went above and beyond to help us with all our extra baggage and needs. Highly recommended

P. W.

U-save were able to book us in at short notice and prepare a couple of Vans for a school trip that were ideal for what we needed. Staff were responsive and helpful at all times.

T. G.

This is the second time using a USave truck for our shift and find consist excellent service and value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to help you get exactly what you need at the right price.

p. m.

Great hire company, great customer service, didn't get her name, really helpful employee but she worked on20. 02.19, lady with glasses, very helpful really professional, even helped us get on the bus, after we dropped car off, would definitley would reommend

B. R.

Having used U Save several times now, have always found their service friendly and always helpful. Quality and choice of vehicles is great. Must say the new premises much better than previous one:)

S. M.

Sarah was our first contact this morning and was very professional recording any slight blemishes that were on our vehicle before we took it away for the day. She was also very clear with all relevant details in the contract. When we returned we were greeted by another very efficient and thorough gentleman who was prompt in settling our account, Over all I dont think you would find better service any where in Chch and I am absolutely recommending Chch Usave to anyone needing a rental vehicle. Baron Gordon.

Y. B.

Good service, fair prices. Hired a truck when were moving to a new house. Was a sturdy and quite spatious truck. Would use the service again

We ended up with a dodgy vehicle, getting up to 85km/h and it got the worst speed wobbles as if the wheel was about to come off. It made for a horrible experience which we just had to deal with

We are living in Christchurch for 6 months and have rented a car for our entire stay. The car is a late model and has been exceptionally hassle free. The staff has been very helpful and easy to work with. They even let us park our rental car at their lot when we make trips out of town via the airport. They drop us off and pick us up at the airport as well. We also rented a car from them in Auckland. Same great treatment by staff and again a reliable automobile.

(Translated) It is highly recommended that the car is old, but the car and tires are superb. There is no hidden cost, unlike the cost of hiding the potholes in the big car dealership. For example, the credit card fee, the cleaning fee, the road rescue fee... The attitude of the employees is also very nice. (Original) 强烈推荐 车虽然旧了一些，但是车况和轮胎都超棒。没有隐藏费用，不像大车行隐藏坑爹的费用 比如刷卡费 清洁费 道路救援费……员工们的态度也非常nice
