This was the worst car rental experience I've ever had. The receptionist spoke non-native English and tried to lecture me instead of arranging the North Island (Wellington) drop-off time because I didn't have a ferry ticket. She tried to educate me on planning my trip and booking hotels in advance, not understanding that it's a free-style trip. The website provided a drop-off location and time option for the North Island, and I made my selection online. There was no indication that the rental couldn't be processed without a physical ferry ticket. Your website's information was misleading. The service of this 9.3-rated international brand you recommended was worse than other companies I've used. They gave me a car key and made me push the cart with all my luggage to the car park, where there was no service personnel from your company, only others. After taking my credit card, the staff charged it without informing me, and I immediately saw a charge of over 60 NZD from my bank. I didn't enter a PIN or sign anything. This is not efficient service and raises trust issues. The last rental company from Auckland did not have such unprofessional service. This experience has made my vacation complicated. If using your website's process, please fulfill your responsibilities and coordinate properly. Do not create problems for customers, and ensure transparent communication.

Quick pick-up, and even quicker drop-off (as the staff was off-duty when I returned the car, and I was instructed to leave the keys in the box on the counter). The only downside was that the car seemed to drift a little. Everything else was great.

For the first 4 days, I got the Hyundai iMax 8-seater van I had booked. The rental company provided a 2017 new car in great condition, and the pickup process was simple. On the fourth day, we needed to exchange the car in Wellington to get the same model in Picton on the South Island. However, AVIS in Picton couldn't provide the same model and gave us a 5-seater Highlander instead. They suggested we try our luck tomorrow morning if we don't pick it up today. Due to our itinerary and hotel reservations, we had no choice but to continue with the smaller vehicle for another 5 days. Key issues: 1. They did not provide a matching model and downgraded us, ignoring our concerns. 2. The service attitude was poor; they demanded payment for scratches on the previous vehicle (which was clearly noted by the front desk to have been caused by the previous renter). 3. They were verbally sarcastic and ignored our request for a similar 8-seater model. They showed disdain for Chinese people and accused us of being unreasonable when we left. Note, six adults and six suitcases crammed into a 5-seater SUV—it was unbearable.

We were forced to buy insurance. I told the AVIS staff in advance that we had already purchased insurance on ZuZuChe, but AVIS said we hadn't and wouldn't let us pick up the car without it. Reluctantly, we had to pay. For two cars, each was charged $101.90. When we returned the cars, we tried to explain to the company again, but they refused to refund us, saying we had already signed the contract. We are very dissatisfied!

The store's computer had issues on the day of pickup, making us wait for a long time. The Indian manager at the store seemed incompetent, claiming my newly updated driver's license was expired without even checking the translated copy. The situation left me stressed and sweaty due to jet lag. When I wanted to extend the rental, they insisted on inspecting the car in person, making me visit the store for no reason at all as nothing was actually done.

The store had a short queue, but the staff was pretty slow and often answered phone calls. Initially, I chose Avis despite being double the price because I wanted a new car and good service. However, the actual cars provided were quite old, one had nearly 40,000 km and the other almost 30,000 km. The Mitsubishi SUV was also outdated. Later in Auckland, I rented from EUROPCAR, and got two very new SUVs with one having 1,500 km and the other 5,000 km. The car features were also excellent.

Initially, we were given an MG, but the trunk was too small to fit four suitcases. After discussing with the company, they offered us a new hybrid Toyota RAV4 since there were no X-Trail cars available. It had only 13,000 kilometers on it and was in excellent condition, very fuel-efficient with an overall consumption of about 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The return process was very simple, just handed over the keys after parking, and they didn't even inspect the car. However, they sent me a final invoice and I had to pay a little extra, which was the first time I encountered this. Since the amount was small and they didn't charge for the additional driver, I didn't pursue it further.
