Christchurch Downtown

The service of this company is really poor, especially the front desk service on the day of pick-up (January 29th). I booked a 2017/2018 Corolla, but on the day of pick-up they gave me a 2013 Camry, claiming that the car I booked was rented out. I asked why they didn't inform me in advance, and they said they generally don't notify customers of upgrades (By the way, the model was upgraded but the year was older, I would rather not have an upgrade if possible). The man at the front desk said, 'If you're not satisfied, you can find another company now.' I've never seen this kind of service attitude before, no apology and even arrogantly suggesting that we find another rental company right after getting off the plane. Their mistake, but no apologies, and they expect the 'tourist' to find another rental company on the day of arrival? I was very surprised by their handling attitude. I've been coming to NZ for 20 years and have never seen this kind of customer service! I don't even know if they are in cahoots with their neighbor, intentionally making customers dissatisfied and then directing them to the neighbor. If they had informed me of this situation in advance, we definitely would have gone somewhere else, not after arriving and being 'forced' to find another company. Later, I checked reviews and found that Google map reviews also mentioned they directed customers to their neighbor's rental company! Anyway, this was our first time renting a car, quite an 'eye-opener.' Next time we'll go for a reputable company, even if it's more expensive. If I had known cheap meant this kind of service, I wouldn't have chosen it no matter how cheap!

Different car model

The company is located outside the airport, but they provide a shuttle service, which is very convenient. I prefer this to the ones inside the airport as you don't have to walk back to the airport after returning the car.

Professional and responsible

The counter staff were helpful however the car was old and had in excess of 100,000 km on the clock when I picked it up. Although it ran well I was concerned that I may have had broken down. The interior of the car was well worn with stained upholstery.
