QEEQ.COMのサイトと現地のレンタカーはうまく機能していないナビはないと言われた、指定した車は貸せないと言われた。ガソリンコストを抑えるためハイブリッドカートヨタプリウスを指定するために、レンタル費用1日1,000円✖️8日を追加で支払った。それは無駄になった。悲しい。現地のスタッフへその連絡が伝わっていなかった。かわりにスタッフは別のメーカーの車を貸すと言ったので諦めるしかなかった。現地のスタッフはサイトの問題と言っていた。

The car was not what I booked, they tried to sell it as an upgrade. Received significant downgrade. The staff not speaking English as their first language made it difficult for them to understand. The car we received had clearly been in a crash. With obvious cracks, chips and serious scuffs on the rims.

Very good car experience, good condition,I booked a gasoline Alphard, and the store gave me a free upgrade to the hybrid Alphard. It’s really great！ the car is very new! The interior of the car is so clean it’s unbelievable! Friendly service staff, very enthusiastic and professional. Mobile phone charging cables and mobile phone holders are prepared for us. The procedure for picking up and returning the car is very simple. It is recommended to purchase comprehensive insurance so you don’t have to worry about scratches while driving along the way. I will choose A rentals company next time I come to New Zealand. Highly recommended!

Pre-trip communication via WeChat was convenient, but upon arriving in Christchurch to pick up the car, it turned out to be from an agent, not A RENTALS. The agent was only responsible for providing the vehicle and did not handle any other issues. All questions had to be addressed through WeChat, which was particularly problematic when we encountered issues while picking up the car and had to wait for responses via WeChat.

Very satisfied, a staff member will pick you up at the airport before the car rental and take you to the store for traffic regulation training to ensure safe driving. You don't have to worry about finding the rental location at all. This service is much better than what we experienced at Herz in North Island. When we returned the car to the store, they also took us to the airport. So, don't hesitate, choosing A Rentals is the right choice.

I chose to rent a gasoline car from Europcar, but the Auckland location only had electric cars available. During our two-day trip, we found six charging stations, but only two of them worked; the rest were either out of order or required a local SIM card for payment. We spent at least four hours charging the car, causing us to miss our return flight. This is just for reference for future travelers.

The mileage is a bit high, over 130,000 kilometers, but the car is in good condition. It's very fuel-efficient, and a full tank can go around 1000 kilometers.
