Meet expectations.

Excellent rental price provided

I had scheduled to pick up the car at 5:30 PM, but the rental company closed at 5 PM, charging me an extra 50 NZD. They didn't wait for me though. We were unfamiliar with the area, spent 40 NZD on a taxi to get to their office, and found no one there! Instead, they left the car key at a hotel front desk for me to pick up. There was no public transit or taxis nearby, making it impossible to reach. Luckily, we met an employee from another car rental company who helped us out of sympathy and took us to the hotel, and we finally got the car.

Instead, they left the car keys at a hotel front desk for me to pick up. There were no buses or taxis nearby, making it almost impossible to get there. Thankfully, we met a Chinese employee from another rental company who saw our plight and kindly drove us to the hotel, so we could finally get the car.

We had to call and walk to a car pick up location, but we were treated very well and the van we rented was a great price and amount of space for an adult family to travel together.

We'd have liked more clear understanding that we were booking through a third party...

Special mention for Ryan in Christchurch who was fantastic, very responsive and resolved queries related to Auckland booking despite being in Christchurch. Absolutely wonderful person to deal with.
