Easy and cheap

The car had numerous small scratches and was very old when picked up. After contacting the company staff, we parked the car in the designated spot the night before and took photos as required (photos taken at return were uploaded, showing no damage as indicated by the rental company). The next day, without any notification, we were charged over 1400 NZD for alleged windshield damage. Since we purchased a super insurance, we are now filing a claim. This experience was terrible compared to our previous rentals with Yesway and Thrifty on the South Island!

Extremely dissatisfied. We purchased comprehensive insurance on the platform, but when we arrived at the store to pick up the car, they tried to sell us additional insurance which we didn't buy. The employee, who was a young Chinese expatriate, had a terrible attitude and displayed no sense of service. When we returned the car, there were scratches that we were unaware of (we had photos for record), and they scolded us loudly. We had insurance, so it should have been a straightforward claims process for us. However, they insisted on using a different vehicle model on the claims form than the one we actually used. When I raised the issue, they took back the rental form. Since we didn't understand the process, we didn't pay much attention at the time. After returning to China, they said we were being troublesome. They also mentioned that the discrepancy between the allocated vehicle and the order was because we got a 'special deal' car, not a new car.

Charging for pickups and drop-offs outside work hours, 20 NZD for pickup and 10 NZD for drop-off. The company is pretty cautious.

A definite rip off for scratching the wheel. Charged me $230 for repairing two scratches

The contact number published on my booking documents did not work and the back up went to someone who was not at work. They gave me another number to ring which was ok. They were not clear on where to meet them at the airport which meant I walked around looking for the correct meeting place.
