Extremely satisfied! On the day we went to the South Island, there was heavy snow in the mountains. We rented a compact car, and the staff at the store kept reminding us to be cautious. In the end, they even provided us with snow chains for the car free of charge (normally priced at 4 NZD per day).

Picking up and returning the car was very convenient and faster than expected, barely taking any time. The rental service was located right outside the airport and easy to spot. I didn’t get the Camry I booked and was given a Subaru instead. The accelerator felt a bit sensitive, but it struggled to gain power uphill. Not sure if it’s the model or just this particular car. Overall, the service was pretty good.

The rental staff were very friendly and gave us a brand-new pickup truck with just over 1,000 kilometers on it. The truck bed had a cover, providing a large storage space. We easily fit three suitcases inside with plenty of room to spare. The vehicle had great power, and we felt completely at ease even when driving through waterlogged roads while exploring several national parks. The return process was very efficient—they only asked if the tank was refueled and refunded the deposit quickly in no time.

The store is convenient to locate. Returning the car was especially easy, just handed over the keys and that's it. However, the car model I reserved did not match the one I received; the actual vehicle was a Ford. Additionally, I had booked a compact SUV expecting unrestricted routes, but when I got the car, I was informed that I couldn't go to Deer Garden Heights and Paradise Road, which disrupted my plans.

After picking up my luggage, the rental car store was right next to me. The staff checked my driver's license and verification documents, filled out some information, and gave me the keys. Exit through Gate 5 to find the parking lot, and the location provided by the staff made it easy to locate the car. The new car was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. When returning the car, simply park it, hand the key back at the store counter, and answer whether the tank is full. That’s it.

Pretty good overall. Couldn't find a suitable car with major rental companies during peak season, but this company was also a great choice.

Renting a car was very convenient. Although the rental location is not inside the airport, there is a shuttle bus from Christchurch Airport's Gate 4. After calling, it only took about 10 minutes for the shuttle to arrive, which was very convenient. The rental process was quick as long as you completed online check-in in advance. On-site, you only needed to confirm a few details. It was raining heavily that day, and the staff at the rental office kindly drove the car to the front door for us. Our own phone mount was not sticky enough to use, but the staff generously gave us one for free. The overall experience was excellent. Another highlight was the one-way rental. We picked up the car in Christchurch and returned it in Queenstown. The Queenstown branch is near the airport, and during business hours, you can even take a complimentary shuttle back to the airport after returning the car. Overall, the experience was amazing. If you are experienced, self-driving in New Zealand is truly incredible because the best views in NZ are not in the attractions but on the roads. There are many small turn-offs along the way where you can stop temporarily to admire the mountains, snow-capped peaks, lakes, grasslands, and flocks of sheep and cattle.
Reviewed: October 11, 2025
The service attitude was excellent. The shuttle location was clearly indicated, and the staff was very friendly when we called the company.

The car was relatively new and the staff were decent, so overall I was satisfied. However, the return time was originally booked for 8 PM, and there was a 50 yuan charge for returning the car outside of working hours. Due to schedule changes, I returned it before 5 PM. QEEQ had previously stated that early returns would not result in refunds, which I hadn't noticed. But the store clerk wrote 5:05 on the final invoice (when I returned the car, handed over the keys, and was told it was fine since it was close to their closing time; they then sent us to the airport via shuttle bus). Later, I received the invoice via email and saw the recorded time as 5:05. The agreement terms were followed, and I have no objection to sticking to the contract even if the money isn't refunded. However, the way they documented it still feels slightly uncomfortable to me.

The rental car counter is conveniently located to the left right after baggage claim. Returning the car is simple - just drop the keys in the designated mailbox in the parking lot or at the counter's dropbox. The staff on-site recommended upgrading to a Lexus RX AWD with built-in GPS navigation, which saved us a lot of hassle during our road trip. The built-in navigation had accurate information, speed limit reminders, and assisted driving features. We also upgraded to full insurance and added an additional driver, and the overall cost was very reasonable! This experience was truly fantastic!!

I called right cars, knowing there was a time difference and it was late at night in New Zealand, however I wanted to confirm the change in pickup time as soon as I found out the flight information changed. We were originally to land around 1pm, and it changed to land at 11pm. A man answered who said he was working from home, and I told him I wanted to make sure we could pick up when we landed even if it was at night outside of office hours. He confirmed, saying that he was going to be on shift at that time. When we landed, I called for the shuttle and the same man told me no one was there, that I was supposed to pick up the car at 11am THE NEXT DAY. I told him that I could not come back the next day, that I specifically checked with him that i could pick it up at night and he insisted that the pickup time was set for 11am. I told him to cancel the car, and went to an airport desk to rent a car that I could take straightaway. When I called to get a refund the next day, I was told I had to go through the booking company.
