South Island Loop

During pick-up, they only conducted a superficial inspection and told me that everything was recorded, and there should be no issues. Trusting them, I only checked for scratches on the surface. However, when returning the car, their inspection was very detailed, even feeling under the bumper and claimed it was scratched. It was frustrating, and I had to accept it. Please, everyone, be sure to carefully check under the front and rear bumpers during pick-up, especially in areas you can't see. Take photos for evidence! Otherwise, you won’t have any proof if something goes wrong! Take note! On this trip, a friend borrowed from another slightly larger company, and we had no such issues. Although it was a few hundred bucks more expensive, it was worry-free! Everything else was fine!

They gave us a damaged car, probably around eight years old, with 80,000 kilometers already on it. Luckily, we didn't encounter any high temperatures; otherwise, breaking down on the highway would have been a real possibility. The rental company kept giving us the runaround. Be cautious when choosing this company; I definitely won't pick an overseas Chinese rental company next time.

Avoid renting from this company at all costs. The car was extremely old, had been driven for thousands of kilometers, and was covered in scratches. Shortly after we drove it, it wouldn't start. When we asked about it, we received vague responses. We had to put up with it for our trip. After returning to our country, they informed us of a speeding ticket, which we paid directly on the official website. They still charged us a handling fee. Very dishonest. Don't be tempted by low prices or Chinese companies. It's better to rent from a large company in New Zealand.

I was disappointed with the professionalism of the company and the unusual requests to do car hand over and return at a supermarket.

The customer service was excellent
