Operating for over 20 years, ABELL offers high-quality rental services across multiple locations including Christchurch, Auckland, Queenstown, and Picton. With a well-established reputation among both domestic and international travelers, the company provides a wide range of vehicles to suit different travel needs, from compact cars and SUVs to vans, trucks, motorbikes, and even campervans.
This locally operated brand emphasizes flexible booking options and reliable service, making it a popular choice for both short-term rentals and long-distance journeys. Customers benefit from the convenience of picking up and dropping off at multiple locations, and the variety of available vehicles ensures that there is something for every type of traveler.

However, travelers should be aware that certain remote branches may have limited hours of operation, so planning ahead is recommended to ensure smooth hire experiences.

I would never use Easycar rentals again. They are a sham and deceitful.
The car was not roadworthy. It had 140,000 km on the clock - and was a piece of junk. I thought that I was hiring a new or near-to-new car but instead got something that was close to a coffin on wheels.

Due to a flight delay, I arrived late at night and couldn't pick up the car that day. The next morning, I called the rental company, and the owner personally drove to my hotel to take me to the office for the paperwork and car pick-up. The owner also drove me back to the hotel when I returned the car. Quite an experience! (It's a small company with limited staff.) Haha.

Although they didn't receive the order from QEEQ, their attitude was excellent. When I couldn't find the pick-up location and called for help, the staff came out to find me. I must say, top-notch service.

The car has already driven 220,000 kilometers and the steering was off, which made driving very tiring as I had to constantly correct it.

The company is managed entirely by an elderly lady. Overall, it's quite good.

The second driver fee was 30 NZD for 9 days, which felt reasonable. I've heard some companies charge per day. Snow chains were 80 NZD for the 9-day period.

The car rental company has Chinese-speaking staff who can provide detailed information about local road conditions and explain the car's features. They also give tips on how to operate and drive the vehicle.
