I frequently rent cars while traveling to places like the US, Europe, and domestically. This time, I went to New Zealand for a trip. I rented a car for 14 days on the South Island without any issues. However, my car rental experience on the North Island was the worst so far. When I encounter operations run by Chinese people abroad through platforms like BOOKING or others, I usually leave high ratings, but unfortunately, not this time. 1. The Toyota RAV4 is a common model on the rental car platform, with prices starting at RMB 260/day (platform rating 7.0, no Chinese-speaking staff). I chose this rental company, which charged RMB 383/day (platform rating 9.1, with Chinese-speaking staff), thinking the higher price meant better service or car condition. I was proven wrong. 2. (1) When selecting the car, I noticed it included an additional driver for free. However, at pickup, the rental company said their system didn't show this and wanted to charge NZ$10/day/person. My order clearly indicated the extra driver was included, leading to a dispute. I called the platform, and they resolved the issue. (2) At return, I confirmed via WeChat with the company that I would return the car at 9:00 AM. They replied that they start work at 9:30 AM. My order stated their business hours were from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I sent them a screenshot, but they did not respond. With no other choice, I called the platform, which intervened and approved the 9:00 AM return. 3. Regarding the car condition, the vehicle I rented had 100,000 km on it (which I can understand). However, the tire condition was terrible. The tread was worn down to the wear indicators, and there were numerous cracks. Considering New Zealand's higher driving speeds compared to China, poor tire condition poses a serious safety risk.

We were supposed to pick up the car at 9 AM, but they said they only start working at 9 AM and would charge extra to come early to the airport. The rental company was very far from the airport, and we didn't get the car until 10 AM. When we arrived at the office, there was no one there, even though it was past opening time. We had to wait for them to bring out about ten cars. We rented an SUV, and after less than 300 kilometers, it indicated it was out of gas. We seriously suspect the gas tank was tampered with. They even argued that we had a driving problem? We were very dissatisfied with the rental company not informing us that it was about a half-hour drive from the airport, which wasted the tourists' time. Returning the car would be impossible for those on a tight schedule. In the end, we left the car at the gas station outside the airport.

Staff were very helpful and courteous. I would highly recommend and will definitely use again ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

You took the bond on my credit card first. Then told me about insurance afterwards. So I took the insurance and you did a reversal of the bond but it hasn't been returned to my card yet. It has been 6 days already. Also, the two people at the counter had very little English language skills. Seems strange in NZ.

All good

Excellent service, will use again in future
