The Queenstown branch is small with inefficient customer service, and there were long queues. We were attended by a young male staff member who was very unfriendly and had a cold demeanor throughout. When we had questions after picking up the car, we had to wait too long, causing our children to be exposed to the sun. When we urged him, he started pointing fingers at us while speaking. The online claims about Apex's poor attitude towards Chinese customers seem to be true. However, all the local people we met during our New Zealand road trip were very friendly.

Overall fine

Pick up counter closing at 4.00 pm too early .our flight was delayed so had to ask counter staff to stay open for a bit longer.Saff was very unhappy about it and rushed though the pick up.

Apex provide a shuttle service from the airport to the pick up point in Queenstown. When we called for the shuttle to pick us up, no one answered the phone.

During the booking process it wasn't made clear that insurance was provided by QEEQ, not the rental car company.

one of the car tires was not safe to drive and i suffered a side-wall blow out. Luckily, i was able to change the (small) spare and get to a service facility. Apex didn't give the best advice by phone, but when I returned with a receipt of service and the original tire, they quickly and professionally credited me for the charge I incurred.
