When returning the car, there was only one person on duty at the company, so customers had to return the car themselves. The navigation address was inaccurate, and it took a long time to find the correct location. Although they upgraded us to a Camry, there were only two of us, and we didn't need it. Moreover, the Camry was a low-end model without a reversing radar, had a lot of noise, and consumed more fuel than the car we originally booked. The additional insurance cost $36 per day, almost equal to the car rental fee, making using instant rental a more convenient option.

Small but excellent

Even though we contacted customer service on WeChat before our flight from Auckland, we still had to wait quite a while for pick-up upon arrival in Christchurch. We waited over half an hour before we had to call again for the staff to come. On the plus side, we got to use a rice cooker, condiments, and rice left by previous customers for free, which saved us some money. We also left quite a few items behind when we left. We paid a 2500 NZD deposit, which is supposed to be refunded about a month after returning the car. Overall, the car rental experience was decent, but the car was old (over 100,000 kilometers) and noisy. I'll update the review after the deposit is refunded.

The cars provided by this company seem to be refurbished second-hand vehicles. They are old but show zero mileage, have an odd smell, and are a bit dirty inside and out, making the driving experience unsettling. While they do offer shuttle services from the airport to the rental office, it's still much more cumbersome than picking up the car directly from an airport counter, causing considerable delays.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions and resolving issues. The entire process of picking up and returning the car was very smooth.
