Great experience and greater ride

Ezi rental car company gave me the worst service I've experienced in my over ten years of renting cars. Especially during pickup, I encountered difficulties: First, they challenged my international driver's license translation because it lacked a New Zealand Transport Agency stamp and asked me to pay onsite for a translation service. Then they gave me a downgraded car. Since it was late, I had to pay onsite to upgrade to the car I originally booked.

Everything was fine. You can pick up the car at Auckland's domestic terminal and return it at the international terminal, which is very convenient. The $400 deposit was returned the next day.

The car's condition was well-maintained, and the service process was standard. However, the overall rating is mediocre due to a dispute. During the return at Christchurch Airport, the rental company's staff only asked if the car was returned with a full tank; no other checks were performed. I had to proactively ask if an inspection was needed, to which the staff responded no, just park the car in the designated spot. Later that evening, I received an email from the rental company stating that they found scratches and would withhold the entire deposit. Since I was driving on the left side, I was extremely cautious to avoid any accidents. The unconfirmed scratches and the subsequent charge made the rental experience rather unpleasant.

Satisfied, Convenient and Quick

The store is relatively close to the airport, but the process of getting the car is quite cumbersome and not as efficient as in Europe or the US. The vehicle is too small to accommodate luggage.
