Very easy to organise and very helpful with the quick responses to my queries. Airport collection was great and car ready to go when we arrived (though they could have washed all the dust off it before we took it)
Loved the Peugeot especially the Hybrid feature as fuel was so expensive compared to Australia. Will definitely use them again.

Proactive Solutions for fluctuating rates

DriveNow's handling of fluctuating car rental rates through Cheapa Campa was commendable. While rates are set by the vehicle provider and are subject to change, DriveNow demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction by promptly offering a discount to match the updated total. Their proactive approach and willingness to address concerns reflects positively on their service. I appreciate DriveNow's efforts and would recommend them to others seeking car rental services.

Great holiday

Easy to book. We changed our original dates without any hassle. Pick up and drop off was smooth. This was our first time renting a camper. Van had everything we needed. New and very comfortable.

Julie A. from drivenow

Julie from drivenow, is so compassionate and understanding given my unfortunate circumstances. When I am able to travel again to NZ I’ll be booking with drivenow because of this act of kindness. Thank you.

Easily the best renting agency I every encountered

Having rented campers from DriveNow on several occasions, the experience has always been very positive! Living on a different continent, it is extremely helpful that DriveNow provides good, constructive suggestions, is patient and helpful in every regard. Easily the best experience in terms of renting anything in my entire life. Their response is very fast, the information is always accurate. I rarely recommend a business, but DriveNow - no hesitation to recommend!

Hi Clarence,
It appears you have posted on the wrong business review, as DriveNow Australia Pty Ltd do not sell cars and we have no involvement in selling cars. DriveNow.com.au is a price aggregator platform and we specialise in Australian and New Zealand Campervan and Motorhome hire, along with some of the rental car companies (Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Thrifty).
You may wish to revisit your post and direct it to whom it was intended for.

Amazing company to book with

Amazing customer service. They respond immediately every time we contact them. They were so wonderful with the whole lock down/border closure issues we had especially at a time that was so difficult for businesses such as themselves. Will absolutely book with them in the future.

Will not book with them again

Will not book with them again. $250 'cancellation fee' even though the borders have been shut as per government mandate. Kept saying I was cancelling when in fact I can not enter the state. Also told if i left it another week it would be a $500 cancellation fee. Only after this saying they 'could help me' with a credit to use later. Why would I want to after that rude conversation.the guy I spoke to was very condescending.

No one is answering the phone or live chat at any of their offices

Edit to add: emailed per Drivenow’s response to this review, have not heard back.

I've been trying to get in touch with drivenow all day: I've called their generic US, New York, Los Angeles numbers multiple times and there has been no answer. There is a message that all team members are on other calls, yet no option to wait in a queue which makes me wonder if anyone is actually there. I've left a message with the New York office asking for an email back, nothing. All three numbers direct you to the live chat function on their website - when you click on live chat there's a message that the agents are off line. Is this company for real? What is going on here?

Bankrupt?

It appears this company is either bankrupt or dodging refunds. None of their global phone numbers work, live chat on website is disabled. Feels like I'm not getting my money back.

Update: hours after this update I got an email response to my request where my refund was after 10 weeks of waiting that I send before calling many numbers across the globe listed on their website, before I posted my review. Their initial promise was that I would get my refund back within 3-6 weeks.
So combining the fact that I had waited 1 month longer than that and I called NL, UK, US, AU numbers which all but one weren't connected. The one that was had a voicemail saying they should be open at that time, and pointed to a non working live chat.
So I did my due diligence. But to be transparent, yesterday they reached out and promised to refund me this week. Keep you posted.

Rip offs

At a worlds most difficult time, Covid 19. I have had to cancel my booked Van with this company, whom are terrible to deal with. They slammed us with a new policy called Covid 19 which incurred us a $250 fine to us cause we were booked with them during a epidemic, even thou we cancelled Months prior to our booking. I am not happy with the way they have dealt with us. I’m a business owner myself and I can see why now businesses don’t last. I would stay right away from this site as you will only get ripped off.
