Auckland-Waitomo-Rotorua-Matamata-Auckland

The owner personally picked us up and dropped us off at the airport, and recommended local attractions.

Contacted the rental company before clearing customs at the airport, and they told us to contact them again at the designated waiting spot. They said they would arrive in five minutes, but we ended up waiting for more than twenty minutes. During that time, I messaged them via WeChat and the rental company responded with impatience. Additionally, the pre-booked baby seat was not installed and had to be crudely tied with a seatbelt, which was very unsafe. This was my third time in New Zealand and I've never had such a bad car rental experience. Strongly recommend against renting from this company.

There was hardly any queue, possibly because of the time we arrived. We had a dedicated car to pick us up from the airport. It's a family business, and both the owner and his wife were very friendly. Unlike in China, you need to be aware of the deposit policy. It's not like Shenzhou Car Rental where the pre-authorization is immediately unfrozen upon return. The pre-authorization for my rental was 2500 NZD. Since we were heading to Sydney for our next stop, the owner's wife manually released the pre-authorization for us, although it might take some time to process. So if you have a tight budget, do prepare for this. Overall, it went smoothly, and I will rent from here again for a longer trip with family.

I had a surprise of having to put a $500 bond at the pickup. The was not detailed prior.

Great and will use it again

Basically its a company that going to get insurance money... It's a cheating.. Trouble...
