The counter is right next to the airport arrival exit. Turn right and you'll see it next to the coffee shop. This place is very popular, so sometimes you might have to wait in line. After finishing the paperwork, it only takes five minutes to walk to the parking lot to get the car. I booked an RAV4 but actually got a Nissan X-Trail, which was almost new with only 5800 kilometers on it. It came with a built-in GPS, which is very convenient given many places in the South Island lack cell phone signal. Renting with basic insurance from QEEQ, I upgraded to full insurance at the EZI counter for 28 NZD a day, with zero deductible. This proved useful, as many roads in New Zealand are gravel and quite a few stones fly around. The second day, a stone kicked up by an oncoming car cracked the windshield in two places. When returning the car, I informed the staff about the damage, they checked the rental record and told me I was free to go without any charges. I will rent from EZI again next time.

If I could give a zero, I would. Ezi Car Rentals deserves zero stars. Unilateral contract breach, numerous traps... absolutely no integrity, outrageously deceitful. I will never consider Ezi for future travel!!!

They were still trying to upsell insurance products when picking up the car. I hope the car rental and the platform can synchronize user insurance information timely. If additional insurance is needed, then formally offer it. Otherwise, it's hard to figure out the difference between the insurance bought earlier and what they were selling, and we almost double-paid.

When picking up the car, the receptionist suggested buying insurance. I mentioned that I had already purchased full insurance through the car rental website, but she informed me that the insurance bought through them isn't from the designated insurance company. In case of any issues, they would directly charge 2500 NZD, which is their minimum claim amount, and I would have to deal with the insurance company back home, which could take up to six months. After some deliberation, I decided not to buy it.

There was a Chinese person who communicated smoothly. The process was simple, but I was directly told that the car I rented was over ten years old and had various issues like a potentially unresponsive steering wheel. The probability of it breaking down on the road was high. They asked if I wanted to change cars, but it would cost an extra 700 yuan. I asked how many times this car had broken down before, and they said it was mostly rented for one or two days, rarely for seven days. I got a bit angry and thought, then why rent it to me! It felt like forced buying and selling. They said I rented through Zuzuche because it was cheap. Honestly, spending 450 yuan a day to rent a Toyota hatchback feels really expensive. The trunk could only fit one suitcase, and Zuzuche never informed me it was an old car. Perhaps the store was well-intentioned, worrying that a breakdown would affect my mood more, but it really affected us upon arrival. Regardless of whose fault it is, it was not a good rental experience. I hope Zuzuche can resolve this and provide appropriate compensation.
