No staff accompanied me for the car inspection when I picked up the car. The inspection was meticulous but tricky. For someone with no car rental experience, this could be costly. Even with full insurance, this is not how it should be done. I was lucky my friend took many photos during the inspection, otherwise, I would have had to pay for damages caused by previous renters. The rental company is poorly managed and communication is problematic! Staff kept asking for my credit card information via WeChat, saying they forgot to register it in Christchurch! Customer service was unhelpful!
