Reviews of RaD Car Hire Hamilton

A. F.

Online booking not that straightforward but easy enough to call and do over the phone. Vehicle was tidy and affordable for our 10 day stay. Collection at the airport was very easy and convenient. Recommend to anyone looking to hire a car.

J. L.

Excellent service from RaD Car Hamilton. Very efficient with the meet and greet at the airport, car is waiting in car park and just drop keys in the lockbox at drop off. So easy. Would highly recommend. .

S. H.

We always use RaD car rentals, and always get great service. Modern vehicles available to suit our needs, at great competitive rates.

s. h.

Fantastic to deal with. Very helpful, even picked us up at short notice when we hadn't confirmed our booking properly. Great car. Would highly recommend to everyone.

B. A.

Couldn't Fault the service we received from RaD Car Hire at all as from the time we touched down at Hamilton Airport to when we drove out the gate was about 10 minutes max with all the paperwork prepared and only my signature required. The car was well presented reliable and suited our need perfectly. We will defiantly recommend RaD Car Hire and will be using them again

L.

AAA+++ HIGHLY RECOMMEND using RaD Car Hire Hamilton. Lovely and hassel free service. They have lovely serviced vehicles and great prices with NO EXTRA or SUPRISE hidden charges. Totally recommend to anyone. Thank you Sally & co.

J. G.

I really appreciated the simplicity of the hire. I was met at the airport by Jim from Hamilton and he went through what I needed to do. It would have been helpful to have had a quick run through about radio channels. I travelled out of Hamilton region and although I could get a radio channel I didn’t know how to select so it kept scanning. I would absolutely recommend. Great people, great car and great service. Cheers

D. T.

Great service and a very compassionate team. Cheap rates and high quality vehicles. Thank you!

M. F.

Easy booking, great pricing and neat little car. Was met at airport by lovely woman with personable warm service. Thanks guys, will book again for sure!

k. s.

Great service - being able to get the car at the airport and drop back there. RaD Car Hire Hamilton is my first to go to car hire service in the Waikato. No issues with vehicle and enjoyed the Hybrid experience. Jim was waiting for us when we arrive from our Christchurch flight, was courteous and helpful :)

S. T.

These guys went above and beyond! When with bad weather my flight was unexpectedly diverted to Auckland. Arriving in Hamilton by bus late at night many hours later than our scheduled arrival we were nervous about collecting the rental car. We were so surprised and relieved that they offered to meet us at such a late hour. I can't imagine that any of the big Rental companies would have been so kind. And the car was great.

Z. M.

A great place to rent a car. Very reasonable prices, lovely to deal with and very accommodating!

T. R.

Absolutely recommend RaD Car Hire Hamilton. Sally is lovely to speak to, Jim met me with a great little car. Great prices. I'm going to keep using RaD car hire in the future.

S.

As always, friendly, effecient, helpful. Good quality car

B. H.

As a first time user of RaD I would thoroughly recommend them based on the booking process, their confirmation and phone call to cover an imporatnt aspect that I missed, and their reception at Hamilton Airport on my arrival. Just plain excellent customer service. Many thanks.

S. R.

Hadn't used this small rental firm before, so was slightly nervous about the pick-up and drop-off process at Hamilton Airport. I needn't have worried - we were met immediately on entering the terminal, the staff member waited patiently as we collected our bag and courteously escorted us to the nearby vehicle. The documentation aspects were the quickest I've experienced. The car was clean and serviceable. Drop-off after five days was equally simple. No waiting for shuttles or in queues, no laborious photographing. Highly recommended.

G. M.

We recently used Rad Car Hire while on Holiday & would have no hesitation in using them again. Pick-up and drop off was a breeze, the car was modern comfortable, easy to drive and at an affordable daily rate. The staff we dealt with were all very helpful, would certainly recommend them to any one wanting to hire a car.

K. H.

We had a great experience using Rad Car Hire, nice vehicle, excellent service, competitive rates, thank you.

S.

Easy and affordable experience! Would highly recommend.

A. T.

We had a great experience hiring a RAD car. We were met and welcomed, shown to our car and all our questions answered.The car was clean and tidy, drove well. We were totally satisfied with our experience with RAD cars. Thank you RAD.

H. E.

Enjoyed my rental here. Got there early but they were fine to release my rental early. Car was fine in good condition. Fees was reasonable. Will return again.

R. B.

As always (a regular, but not especially frequent, customer), very pleasant and efficient service, with ease of booking and a welcoming 'personal touch'. The vehicle was well-appointed and perfect for my needs - all at an extremely reasonable cost!

D. H.

Fantastic small car rental place in the center of Hamilton. Good rates and the car was in good shape. No pressure to buy unnecessary extras. But most outstanding was the caring service. I had to cut my trip short because of the virus. If you return a car early at most rental places you are out of luck. Rad refunded me the days I did not use. Will definitely use them again next time I need a car in the Hamilton

S. B.

I rented a Toyota Corolla 2016 car for 4 days from RaD Car Hire. Best price for the service. Friendly, helpful staff. Car was very clean and drives smooth. Definitely come back again when needed and highly recommended.

F.

Wonderful experience hiring with Sally & Jim at RaD Hamilton. Cheerful, friendly, helpful and excellent service. Hired a Mazda Demio which was clean and well maintained. Not brand new but great little car at a great price that took us all the way to the Bay of Islands and back without missing a beat. Also good on petrol. Most pleasant car rental business we have dealt with. So nice to deal with a family business rather than the cold and impersonal service from the big names. Highly recommended and would use them again for sure when next in New Zealand. Thank you Sally & Jim.

D. W.

They were very accommodating to our needs and prie was competitive with other rental companies vehicles were well maintained

D. D.

Very neat, inexpensive. small car and very easy people to deal with. They let me extend rental with no extra cost, during a huge storm where I became stuck due to slips and flooding. Can fully recommend Hamilton RAD car hire.

P. C.

Great service, fantastic price and good little car. What's not to like. Will be using again and also nice to support a local business rather than a multi-national.

M. N.

Due to trying to book last minute and with several car rentals, RAD was legitimately the best. Offering a reliable car that was a treat to drive. Highly affordable. While other car rentals were offering $1200 to use their car over a 5 day period, RAD offered under $600. Friendly staff to deal with. Highly recommend!

C. T.

I have used RaD before and their cars are usually cheaper than the competition but same cars available. I was met at the arrival gate and shown to car. Process was super easy, payment processed on pick up -no contact and no fuss return. Would definitely use again.

N. B.

Great experience hiring from RaD Hamilton. Pickup at the airport was great, and self-return at the airport was really easy. Car was very clean (much cleaner than what we have gotten hiring from similar priced companies) and ran fine. Would definitely hire from them again!

M. W.

Nice people. Have rented from them several times. The last time we booked a car for two weeks, but they allowed us to return it a week early and out of hours and quickly refunded us. Probably the cheapest place in Hamilton too.

S. V.

Great service once again. Met at the airport, all carseats provided (5) perfect vehicle for our family holiday.

N.

The owner and manager in Hamilton was very helpful and easy to deal with. The small car I wanted for my day trip was a high standard and they let me park my car in their yard while I was away using their rental. I would highly recommend RaD and use them again.

S. M.

Amazing experience with RaD Car Hire Hamilton! Communication was a breeze, car was worth the money, fair costs and lovely people to deal with. Made my first car rental easy as! Car was also very lovely, exactly as described. Would highly recommend!!!

L. K.

Fantastic service - easy airport collection/drop off. Great communication. Would highly recommend this local business when in Hamilton.

A. K.

We were very impressed with the efficient service upon arrival: RaD was waiting for us with our name on a card at the gate, had the car ready in the car park nearby and off we went, not to RaD but on our way to our personal destination. Perfect, could not have gone better. Thanks, we will definitely use them again!!!

J.

Very friendly service and well maintained vehicles. I was so pleased with Jim and Sally and their hospitality. They also have the best prices. Support local businesses!

S. W.

I am always so grateful for the service I receive from your company, especially as I am from Hamilton and use that service more. So willing and helpful, and issues are never a bother. Have always tried to use them according to availability which never seems to a problem. Have encouraged many others to use the service if needing Rentals while travelling through NZ. Thanks once again for another wonderful holiday back home. Regards Carol Brown.

C. M.

Was wonderfully easy and lovely people to deal with😊 Thanks RaD

R. s.

Really happy I chose Rad Car Hire. They were referred to be as being the best in terms of affordability, and quality of customer service. Very helpful staff and a great car. No hidden costs. What they quote is what you end up paying.

A. B.

Very good hirage rate compares to lots of other places we looked at. Also offered good insurance options for drivers under 25 compared to other places. Staff were very helpful and easy to deal with. Vehicle was very clean. Would definitely go through RAD again in the future!

H. D. S.

Sally and the team are excellent partners, I use RaD as I travel for business around NZ and I always find their pricing and cars excellent. Sally and her team look after me and make sure I am well looked after. Highly recommend. Thanks Guys.

N. B.

RAD Hamilton was perfect. Car was clean, in good condition. Best of all the price is always sharper than the competition. We were meant at arrivals by RAD with paperwork and keys. Away driving in 10 minutes. EASY A+++ Thanks will continue using RAD.

M. R.

First class rental service with Rent a Dent prices, couldn't have asked for anything more. The car was really nice; pick up and drop off was super quick and easy, and right at the airport. Highly recommended.

A. J.

We have now hired three times with RaD Hamilton. We are treated with full care and respect. The vehicles are extremely well groomed . We wouldn't rent any where else now

H.

All was good until I realised there was no cigarette lighter for my GPS. As someone not from Hamilton that made driving more challenging than I anticipated. Next time I'll be asking for that. Otherwise the service is great. Thanks for taking the time to meet me at the airport. Much appreciated. John King

J. H.

The check in service was easy, the staff were friendly, the car was lovely, clean and economical. Would use RaD again as well worth the money. My grandson also loved the teddy bear. Thank you :)

s.

Excellent customer service and super easy to get the car and hit the road. They can meet you at Hamilton airport which is super handy.

A. R.

My need to hire a car was last minute. When I called they said they could help me and gave me a very reasonable quote. They even said they could meet my plane. The car I was given was great - basic but easy to drive. It was also very econimical. I would definitely hire from them again!

S. N.

Good condition of vehicles, cheap price of cars with other rental cars ,

K. K.

Fantastic service and really appreciated the refund, which was unexpected. The car was economic and drive beautifully. I intend to use you again!

P. K.

We have used RaD car hire each time we have needed a car in New Zealand. We find them professional, very well priced & obliging. We recommend them every time.

W. D. A. D.

Definitely will hire from RaD again. The car felt comfortable and safe. Thank you.

V. L.

When in need for a rental car I always look into the condition of it, whether it is clean inside and out, fine tuned, and technically sound for me to ride on. Years ago after meeting with tech problems or sticky wheels from two other shops I found RaD Hamilton Central and stayed with them ever since. From my personal experience with them all these years, I found that their cars are very well maintained, spick and span, loaded with considerately prepared guiding material and stationery, and waiting in front of the shop ready for pickup. Renting and driving their cars one has a good, hassle- /worry-free, and safe feeling, which is why that I invariably go to this branch now in all occasions, particularly for touring with our friends from afar. Above all these, one can expect their competitive prices and good service, their treating you with full respect and carefully listening to you, etc. I can't think of what else do I want more, or where else shall I look further. Definitely go back to them again. Thank you Jim, and thank you Sally! You guys truly deserve a top rating!! :)

C. H.

Can't recommend highly enough. We had a car hired from RAD Auckland which developed a very strage noise on our drive down to Hamilton. We popped in to RaD Hamilton just before they closed on Saturday lunch and Jim could not have been more helpful. As the garage was shut until Monday, he contacted RaD Auckland and then agreed to lend us another car until ours could be looked at Monday. Service above and beyond and a huge thanks once again from us.

d. m.

from pick up to drop off, such an easy stress free process. Hire car was exactly what I was expecting. great value for money, highly recommend. I will be using RaD again in the future for sure.

G. D.

I have rented many cars before all over the world and I can honestly say this is the only car hire company (Hamilton branch ) where I feel that I am not being ripped off! The customer care is first class, they do not try and coax you into a higher car level and explain that scratches on the hub-caps will be accepted. Handing the car back was a stress-free experience and with no additional charges this is a company that I will definitely use again when I return to see my brother in Hamilton, New Zealand. Well done to RAD.

T. J.

Nice little modern car, a lot of fun to drive. Quick and easy service. Will definitely use again the next time I need to go somewhere. Have now used this service three times with same satisfaction.

A. A.

I spoke a lady just now to manage my booking and she was very understanding. Thank you so much. Great customer service. I will definitely recommend and use RaD again.

S. W.

This was a very positive experience discussed my needs over the phone and was given several options that worked out fantastic. Met at the airport and was away within minutes in my rental car , left the rental at the airport which was again simple no hassles. I have tried the rest so encourage anyone to try in my opinion the best

K. F.

Quick and efficient pick-up and drop off. Kind and thoughtful service. Cool little car at a fantastic price. Will use RaD again when we return to Hamilton.

M. R.

We loved the service, the condition the car was in when uplifting it. There were no mechanical problems during the time we had the car and lovely service when we returned the car. Also, a wonderful price

d.

Excellent service; met right off the plane at the airport, and exiting the carpark within 10 minutes of landing. RaD will be my go-to should I ever need transport in Hamilton again.

W. M.

Have rented with RaD in different locations in NZ and each time have had a hassle free experience. Best prices and the vehicles are fine.

U. R. B.

Was looking for a cheap car for one day. Everything went as expected, nice and friendly staff, no issues at all. Would recommend!

C. A.

Great location, great service and quick response to emails. I had to extend the rental on a number of occasions (often last minute) and it was never too much trouble. Will definitely hire again in the future.

C. P.

Amazing place! Lovely people and amazing service, car was lovely, and an even better price! Will come back Indeed!

L. J.

Jim and his wiife are very friendly, very helpful and their vehicle met all my travel requirements. I have used RAD before and will certainly use next time I am in NZ. Thanks Jim

J. C.

Dont let the name 'Rent a dent' put you off, this is a great rental company. The best I've dealt with, they are very easy going, our rental was very last minute so we got a bit of a banger but it ran on the smell of an oil rag. They also provided a shuttle to the airport that left when we needed it to go.

G. K.

Great pick-up and drop-off experience, car was fine, no problems. Radio could use an upgrade, but then you can't have everything for a very reasonable price....:o?

E. F.

Great car, service and price, thanks very much, highly recommend!

s. g.

So much better than the big players like Hertz. Very good prices and reliable cars. Jim & Sally who run the Hamilton branch are lovely persons.

L. C.

Affordable, great customer service.

D. C.

Fantastic service and follow up after being fogged in and delayed for 24 hours. Best service and customer care I have ever had

E. S.

They were so nice and helpful, and were very lenient to my schedule which was great! No hassle, very easy quick experience, I will definitely be renting from them again.

P.

We found RaD car hire to be amazing - even more so after we tried a bigger car hire company in New Zealand. This is definitely a case where going local and small is better.

V. S.
