no the was as expected

all good

Let me share my experience renting a car this time. On May 21, we rented two cars, one of which had a flat tire shortly after. We changed the tire ourselves, and the next day we were given a replacement car. However, my credit card was charged 500 NZD. We bought full insurance but haven't received any resolution yet. Additionally, when booking, it was clearly stated that the car rental company would cover the transition fee, but they refused to provide it. The car we picked up was also different from what was promised. As for this car, the battery died the next day and we had to spend a whole morning before getting a replacement. Then, the door of the new car was broken. Believe me, you should avoid renting cars from this platform. Out of the three cars we rented, two had issues. The reason for the cheap price is that these are very old cars, which you can buy locally for 3000 NZD, and they rent these to you at a high price. The service is unreliable, and the car conditions are worrying. Not to mention your safety. You will most likely spend your time dealing with car repairs and replacements. And then you continuously deal with insurance hassles upon returning.

I won't choose this car rental company again. The Chinese female staff had an indifferent attitude after we picked up the car, didn't help with any problems. When we got a fine and asked her for assistance, she told us to just pay it. I contested it myself and won, so there was no need to pay at all. Overall, they didn't help us with any issues abroad, always making excuses and refusing. Very unsatisfactory!

The car pick-up explanation in Christchurch was very detailed, but they didn't mention that you can't return the car earlier than the contract time. In Queenstown, returning the car early means only one person checks the car and assists guests, causing long wait times.

There's a phone next to the i information counter at the airport arrivals. The one on the left is free to use and there's a notice on the wall with car rental instructions. Call them by dialing 08, and you'll reach a foreigner who will direct you to walk towards the building with the purple 'Parking' sign outside the arrivals area. You'll find a staff member there to pick you up. A few minutes later, we met Aline who picked us up. The car we received was a Nissan Qashqai with over 120,000 kilometers on it. We were initially worried about the car's condition but couldn’t switch as it was the only available option. After checking the inspection records, which showed it was inspected in March and at the end of September, we trusted New Zealand’s vehicle inspection standards and took the car. After 7 days and nearly 1,500 kilometers, the car performed well and we were quite satisfied.
