I'm now recalling the hire car we had in New Zealand in 2012. I hired it here through Rental Cars dot com, very, very cheaply. It was an old scruffy Japanese car, Toyota I think, with about 100, 000 km on it. We drove more than 4,000 km over 3 weeks and it never missed a beat.
Without doubt it was the most tatty hire car around and at times I felt the "poor relation" when parked up by other tourists' cars.
But, NZ has thousands of miles of gravel roads you just can't avoid and we had no worries using them not fearing a scratch or two if we'd had a near new Ford Focus or something.
I even washed it on the return to Christchurch airport - I needn't have done as the company reps said I shouldn't have bothered.
A very contented experience.
