2 Days in Auckland City

We picked up the car at 7 PM. The inspection was very casual, some scratches could only be seen using our own flashlight. There were obvious scratches on the back of the car, and if we hadn't carefully checked, the inspection staff would have ignored them. Later, we discovered a small rim scratch and were told to refer to the contract; anything not recorded was our responsibility.

Contacted the rental company before clearing customs at the airport, and they told us to contact them again at the designated waiting spot. They said they would arrive in five minutes, but we ended up waiting for more than twenty minutes. During that time, I messaged them via WeChat and the rental company responded with impatience. Additionally, the pre-booked baby seat was not installed and had to be crudely tied with a seatbelt, which was very unsafe. This was my third time in New Zealand and I've never had such a bad car rental experience. Strongly recommend against renting from this company.

Had to wait, no help with luggage

Value for money

Great car that was easy clean and easy to drive. I was given a bigger car than I booked which was very useful for us. Lovetrip offices are located about 5-10 minutes drive from the airport. The owner/manager picked us up from the terminal and drove us to the office - although we waited about 25mins for him to pick us up (we waited outside the terminal, and he was inside the terminal). So our advice would be very clear about where to meet him.
