The staff were lovely and even offered us an umbrella to keep in the car as rain was forecast. The Mercedes car we booked was involved in an accident a couple of days before we arrived but we were notified in advance and adequate replacement was provided with fuel included. It was refreshing not to deal with the big corporate rental companies.

We needed a car to get us up the to the ski hill this season and this car did just that. An excellent vehicle and service received from Yesaway. The car was spotless and only had a few thousand km’s on the clock. A first for us in New Zealand, as most rental cars here have been around the clock a few times. Thanks Yesaway. We will be back.

The first car broke down in dangerous circumstances. Complete electrical failure which affected break and steering systems and rendered the car undrivable. Road side assistance took 7 hours and replacement car 24 hours. The whole process had financial implications for us. After I returned the second car YESAWAY advised that I had additional money to pay as petrol tank on first vehicle was not full as per agreement. Given the car had broken down causing me hugh cost and inconvenience and was probably not roadworthy when they hired it to me is a bit rich. Having taken the money they will not respond to my emails.

There was a rental company staff waiting for us in the arrivals hall right after we got off the plane. After gathering a family from the same flight, she drove us to the rental car point, which took only a few minutes. During the drive, she explained the traffic rules in New Zealand. Upon arrival, an employee immediately helped us with the procedures without any wait or pressure to purchase additional products. The service attitude was excellent.

The car was decent, but the service was terrible. There were some unexpected issues, and we had to return home immediately, so we had to return the car in another location, which cost over 2000 yuan. Additionally, the 20-dollar airport shuttle fee was frustrating. The staff at the rental office were only interested in taking photos and endlessly documenting everything. We needed help with our luggage due to our physical condition, but were ignored. The service attitude was very poor.

The service during pickup was fine, but during return, we encountered a Chinese girl for the car inspection who didn't say a word throughout. After dropping us off at the airport, she didn't help with the luggage, which was okay, but she didn't say anything or get out of the car. She didn't even greet us.

They give clear instructions proactively and response timely. Only thing is the finance part made me a bit concern that they didn't receive the funding from Qeeq in time and double charged me on additional driver fee and requested me to get refund back from Qeeq. This might be internal process between Yesaway and Qeeq to be improved. Too troublesome for me to work on the refund between the 2 companies.
