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!
“RAV4 2012 with 240,000 km, full of dents and scratches and $4000 excess => that's EZU for you”
About EZU:5.7/10
RAV4 2012 rego: GLD171 and 240000 km on the clock, 23 days hire:
Squeaky and full of dents and scratches. Some cracks to the plastic panels, front bumper coming off. Initially we were assigned different car as the paperwork indicated different rego (ROV004) but ended with this gem. When calling them next day after discovering another issue with the body (crack in the plastic panels) and asked if they are sure that this was the car we meant to use, the lady I spoke to insisted that is the one - even when mentioned the massive millage. Car that was not worth much on the market due to its heavy usage was tagged with $4000 excess and $2000 was blocked on our credit card in pre-approved authorisation. Note: we had the same hire costs (not excess) in 2018 in Europe (Poland) in peak season (European summer) for hiring Skoda Octavia station wagon with just 600 km on the clock, for 34 days, with half of excess. Go figure!
We had a small crack in the windshield (popped up in the car wash) - happened on our watch so no disputes here. We were charged $2000 upon return and explained that once the replacement is done the difference would be returned to us. After 4 weeks of not hearing from them I have queried Easyrentcars how long shall I wait before raising alarm? A day latter got an answer from EZU that the cost of replacing of that windshield was $971 NZD (?!) where glass supply only was $550 NZD!!. One week latter (5 weeks in total) the difference finally has been reimbursed.
Soooo, to recap it all: old car with massive millage, full of dents, massive excess and inflated charges for damage, slow response or none ..., still have a bitter aftertaste when thinking EZU. Never again!
