I recently rented a car from EZU in Christchurch, and the entire process was incredibly smooth and highly satisfying! First of all, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They patiently answered all my questions regarding the rental process, which made me feel very reassured. The selection of vehicles was quite extensive, and I ended up choosing an economy sedan. The car was in fantastic condition—clean, tidy, and very comfortable to drive. What impressed me the most was its fuel efficiency, which saved me a considerable amount of money during my trip. The rental procedure was simple and convenient, and both the pickup and drop-off processes were highly efficient, with no waiting hassle. The company’s location is near the airport, which is extremely convenient for travelers like me. Throughout the journey, I didn’t encounter any issues, and the services provided by EZU left me thoroughly satisfied. If I visit Christchurch again in the future, I will definitely choose this company for car rentals, and I will also recommend them to my friends! In conclusion, EZU made my trip much easier and more enjoyable. I sincerely appreciate their professional services!

My English is nearly non-existent, and I quit my job to come to New Zealand with my three kids to study. The challenges I faced at the beginning were overwhelming. I really appreciate the store's Chinese-language service—the staff were so warm and friendly. It gave me such comfort in a foreign country. This was my first time driving a right-hand drive car, and I arrived safely at my destination with sweaty palms. Just a reminder to everyone: safety first and drive with extra caution.

Rented a car for 9 days and was greeted by the rental company's shuttle bus right after landing. The car had 130,000 kilometers on it, but it ran perfectly fine. Surprisingly, the small car came equipped with lane departure warning and collision alert features. It was fuel-efficient and easy on gas, though it struggled a bit on uphill mountain roads. Overall, the experience was fantastic!
