Auckland - Hot Water Beach - Rotorua - Lake Taupo - Auckland

A tall lady at the rental company insisted that I pay for insurance, otherwise she would not hand over the car. I refused to buy it, explaining that I had rented a car for 15 days on the South Island without purchasing their proposed insurance. She brought another lady to persuade me, but I continued to emphasize that the contract allowed a pre-authorization of 5000 NZD on my credit card for any accident costs. They still refused to hand over the car. We were stuck for 3 hours. Finally, I called the domestic customer service of the rental company, and they negotiated to follow the contract. Then they asked me to pay 25 NZD for a gas canister. I pointed out that during my 15-day rental in Christchurch, this fee was not charged. Why is this fee not included in Auckland when it's the same rental company? They eventually removed the gas canister and gave me the car key. Their attitude was very poor. I want to know if the motorhome rental includes the gas canister or not and request a refund of 25 NZD. A special mention to the young man who attended to us during the car return process; he was enthusiastic, professional, and patient. If I had met him during the pickup, things wouldn't have been so troublesome.
