The service at the Christchurch Airport car rental store was very smooth. Communication using simple language and mobile translation was effortless. After reviewing the rental order, the customer service representative patiently explained the pickup route and provided a booklet on New Zealand traffic regulations.
The airport branch is easy to find by following the signs. The Rental Car signs for picking up and returning cars in the airport parking lot are also very visible. However, when picking up the car, I mentioned that I had already purchased insurance Option Two during the rental, and that I only needed to add a second driver now. I even used my phone to translate that I had already bought insurance Option Two and didn't need any additional coverage, just the second driver. Still, the staff charged me 115.40 NZD.
Initially, we were given an MG, but the trunk was too small to fit four suitcases. After discussing with the company, they offered us a new hybrid Toyota RAV4 since there were no X-Trail cars available. It had only 13,000 kilometers on it and was in excellent condition, very fuel-efficient with an overall consumption of about 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The return process was very simple, just handed over the keys after parking, and they didn't even inspect the car. However, they sent me a final invoice and I had to pay a little extra, which was the first time I encountered this. Since the amount was small and they didn't charge for the additional driver, I didn't pursue it further.

The car had a mileage of 13,000 km, was in great condition, and was fuel-efficient, consuming about 5.8 liters per 100 km.

However, they sent me a final invoice and charged a small additional fee, which was the first time this had happened.

The service attitude was mediocre. There was only one person handling procedures, and another person said he wasn't on duty. He saw me waiting and offered to assist. However, when he saw that I arrived an hour earlier than scheduled and refused to pay an additional 25 SGD, he told me to wait for his colleague to complete the paperwork. Later, the colleague also asked for the extra fee but gave me the car without charging after I insisted on waiting. Nonetheless, he just handed me the keys and I had to find and inspect the car myself. The car condition was poor, so I returned to the office and got a better one. The return process was smooth, and I returned the car an hour early, so it evened out. Haha.
