I had scheduled to pick up the car at 5:30 PM, but the rental company closed at 5 PM, charging me an extra 50 NZD. They didn't wait for me though. We were unfamiliar with the area, spent 40 NZD on a taxi to get to their office, and found no one there! Instead, they left the car key at a hotel front desk for me to pick up. There was no public transit or taxis nearby, making it impossible to reach. Luckily, we met an employee from another car rental company who helped us out of sympathy and took us to the hotel, and we finally got the car.
