The service was terrible, and they charged arbitrary fees. There was no mention of these charges before renting or upon arrival at the store. They demanded additional fees for adding a driver and charged a roadside assistance fee even though we declined their insurance because we already had coverage. They just handed over an app for signing without explaining the contract details, leaving out crucial information knowing that our English wasn't perfect.

The service is excellent.

The service was pretty good. I originally booked a Prado and was looking forward to it, but when I got there, they said it wasn't available and gave me an Isuzu instead. I was a bit disappointed at first, but the car looked pretty cool, it was clean and tidy, and had driving assistance. It was easy to drive and accompanied me for 12 days. Thumbs up.

We wouldn't have been charged extra if we returned the car before 1 PM, and we actually returned it at 12:30 PM. However, the Budget staff processed it at 3 PM and charged us for 2 extra hours. Very disappointing.

I booked a Toyota RAV4 with basic insurance for 15 days through Zuzuche at the total price of 1355.85 NZD. When I went to pick up the car in Christchurch, I showed the Zuzuche order. The Budget representative glanced at it briefly, then added full insurance on their own initiative and billed me in USD. The final price was 1504.25 USD. You can calculate the difference. Why didn't they follow the order and use local currency for billing? Everyone can understand the reason. After I questioned them, they responded rudely, saying either rent with these terms or go somewhere else. There were other details, but to keep it short, stand up for your rights in such situations. In the end, they had to follow my original order, note the final price in NZD, and we settled in cash to avoid the 2% credit card fee. This experience is for my fellow Chinese to avoid being overcharged by these foreign companies. It's better to deal directly with local companies in New Zealand. Don't trust big names like Avis, Hertz, or Budget, as many Chinese have been overcharged this way. Also, avoid intermediary platforms; book directly on the rental company's website.
