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.

We rented the car outside business hours, so we contacted a third party to pick it up.

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.
