On the second day of renting a car in Auckland, I accidentally damaged the side mirror. Despite having purchased insurance beforehand, the rental company still required a deposit of 8900 NZD. The mirror was fixed on the same day, and I continued driving, but I only received the repair bill a month later (just replacing a side mirror cost more than 1760 NZD). It's been two months since I returned the car, and the rental company still hasn't refunded the remaining 4060 NZD, citing possible third-party claims. In fact, I barely scratched the other party's mirror with no visible damage, and the other party politely said it was fine without requesting any repairs. The rental company’s refusal to refund the deposit is infuriating, and they have recently ignored my attempts to contact them. The rental company is run by Chinese people, so communication is easier, but the service is a nightmare.
As I arrived at AKL airport at the time out of the office hours of Yes Rentals, so I have to pick up my car at Park & Fly. This would be quite time consuming. Other than that, everything is good.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
I love the full coverage insurance provided. It gives a peace of mind for the whole trip.

About Yes Rentals:5.3/10
Car was dented all round, dirty inside and outside and missing 3 hubcaps. Office was a bit far away from the airport, tiny and had a box of beers in the middle of the floor.
“Book only if you have plenty of time in hand - off-site from airport and short staffed”
About Yes Rentals:6.0/10
One staff member managing the complete business. Plan for at least an hour for the drop because the same person maybe out for pickup that time. I had to wait very long during drop off.
Also make sure each and every mark/scratch is captured. Overall not recommended
When the staff came to pick us up, they informed us that the car we had booked was not available and offered us a Hyundai SUV instead. Later, we found out that the car we initially booked had serious safety issues and was nearly written off after an accident! I think the staff should have informed us earlier. However, after communicating and negotiating through QEEQ, our issue was eventually resolved. They were quite good at solving problems.
We had a fast pick up from the airport from a friendly driver. Vehicle was bigger than expected. We were an hour later than we had originally said but they waived the late return fee. Overall a really good experience.
Was a bit long waiting to be picked up compared to other companies I’ve used. Although cheap, was a bit of damage on vehicle that I wasn’t impressed with.
