When picking up the car, I confirmed the after-hours return steps with the staff. They said a colleague would be on night duty and would take me to the airport after returning the car. However, I found out it was a third-party company collecting cars in the parking lot, which misled me and almost made me miss my flight.

Fast and good service

On the second day of renting a car in Auckland, I accidentally damaged the side mirror. Despite having purchased insurance beforehand, the rental company still required a deposit of 8900 NZD. The mirror was fixed on the same day, and I continued driving, but I only received the repair bill a month later (just replacing a side mirror cost more than 1760 NZD). It's been two months since I returned the car, and the rental company still hasn't refunded the remaining 4060 NZD, citing possible third-party claims. In fact, I barely scratched the other party's mirror with no visible damage, and the other party politely said it was fine without requesting any repairs. The rental company’s refusal to refund the deposit is infuriating, and they have recently ignored my attempts to contact them. The rental company is run by Chinese people, so communication is easier, but the service is a nightmare.

Vehicle was well used and worn inside and outdated. Had 153,000+ km. Was rough to drive as it was older and had issues with a seatbelt not working and a headlight out at night. Very dangerous.

Easy pickup and drop off
