Starting from Christchurch, a 16-day counterclockwise trip around the southern half of New Zealand's

The Ezi counter is located inside the Christchurch airport's arrival hall, and the car is parked in a rental car lot less than a 5-minute walk away. You pick up the keys and inspect the car yourself, as there are no staff present at the pick-up site, which is slightly inconvenient. There is a Chinese-speaking staff member at the counter who is diligent but rather cold and expressionless throughout the process.
