After contacting the company at the airport, they quickly picked us up. The campervan's price was very reasonable, and its condition was good. It accompanied us for over two thousand kilometers.

Waited an entire day to get the car, very frustrating. The rental company said it wasn't their responsibility. If it's not theirs, then whose? We lost a day's worth of our journey and had to rearrange the entire trip. Who will compensate for this loss? Extremely dissatisfied, would not recommend renting from this company.

Scam company. At the start of our trip, a Chinese-speaking customer service representative persuaded us to choose a luxury package for 928 NZD, claiming we wouldn't have to clean or worry about anything. They confidently assured us that we just needed to drop off the keys at the end of the trip. When we returned the car, the Chinese-speaking representative was nowhere to be found. Instead, a heavy-set person greeted us and demanded we pay 250 NZD because the floor wasn't cleaned and the walls weren't wiped. They didn't allow us to clean it at their store or nearby. We argued that the package we purchased included cleaning, but they denied it, stating that it was just something the employee said and only the manager's words mattered. We were forced to pay 250 NZD.

The shuttle service staff were absolutely terrible. We waited at the airport for over 2 hours without being picked up. They claimed to have come by twice without seeing us and made no effort to call back or look for us. Other companies' staff came to the entrance to ask around, but the shuttle staff never attempted to contact us within the two hours. We finally noticed a vehicle with the company logo and made our way to the rental company. After we were picked up, the staff's attitude was very poor. The return was almost delayed due to the company's staff negligence and mistakes, nearly causing us to miss our flight. The shuttle lady was still dragging her feet and, despite knowing our tight schedule, she shouted at us, saying it wasn't her problem if we missed our flight.

Professional. Both the store and after-sales technical support are very professional! Because of a tire change that delayed our rental by 3.5 hours, they refunded us half a day's rent.

The process of picking up the car was extremely slow, even though I had pre-registered online as required. The actual waiting and processing time on the day was three hours. The main reason was the lack of staff, who were also doing multiple tasks, such as answering hotline calls in the middle of helping customers. The handover of the vehicle was rather careless; they started serving the next customer before fully addressing my questions. It was even more frustrating when I was left to inspect the car myself and couldn't find anyone to assist when I had questions. When I asked another staff member for help, they coldly refused, saying they were not familiar with my order and were too busy, and insisted I continue looking for the designated staff without offering to help (e.g., by contacting the assigned personnel).

Upon arriving in Christchurch, we immediately called the rental company, and shortly after, a car with the company's logo came to pick us up. We were attended to by a girl from Taiwan. She was beautiful, enthusiastic, and generously helped us fill out the forms. She provided us with many suggestions and assistance. She was professional, helpful, and both picking up and returning the car went smoothly. We noticed there were many people renting cars in Christchurch, and the staff seemed relatively few.

Overall, it's good, but why do they need to charge in advance? The bank charges fees for both the charge and refund. They persuaded me to buy full insurance so that the advance charge could be avoided, which added over 2,000 yuan. While extra safety is a benefit, it should still be up to the individual. When I picked up a car in the USA, there were no advance charges or additional fees.

We waited for 3 and a half hours to get our car. We arrived at the store at 11:30 am, but there was no one to help us, causing us to be 30 minutes late for check-in. Once check-in started, we had to wait in line past our scheduled 1 pm. More people came in later but they got in line ahead of us. We were always the last! It wasn't until after 3 pm that we started the car inspection. The car itself had many issues and had been in an accident. They said there were no other cars available...
