Hired a Jucy van from Auckland
Hired a Jucy van from Auckland, was told there was a free shuttle, only has to call the number. Waited for 40minutes on hold while trying to wrangle 2 toddlers after being up from 2am that day. No one would answer the phone. I emailed Jucy and asked them to send the shuttle bus , only to get a reply back telling us to just take a taxi with a possible refund, which would take 3-5 business days. I indeed up calling a friend to pick us up. When we finally arrived at Jucy and hour and a half after we exited the airport, we were met with a woman trying to over charge us by $120!! Claiming , unless I had the exact quote layout that they provide, then I would have to pay the extra amount. I'm not sure if this is some kind of common spam tactic for tourists but the mistake was thinking I was a tourist from a non-english speaking country. As a kiwi, I knew exactly how the rules work, I was given a quote, paid a deposit and it must not be changed after the customer has received it. I had to spend an extra 40 minutes sorting through email after email to find the exact formated email they were after before they let us pay the quoted price and we could get moving. And after all of that, the fridge didn't work and we had to rewire it. Positives? The actual van run well, no issues there, the gentleman who checked our van before and after getting the van was polite and professional and the gentleman, Zac who booked everything online for us was wonderful!
