Ezi Car Rental is the worst car rental company I have encountered in my over ten years of renting cars, especially regarding the pick-up service. First, they made things difficult because my international driver's license translation didn't have a New Zealand Transport Agency stamp, and I had to pay for their translation service on the spot. Then, they gave me a downgraded car, and since it was late, I had to pay for an upgrade to get the car I wanted.

Everything was fine. You can pick up the car at Auckland's domestic terminal and return it at the international terminal, which is very convenient. The $400 deposit was returned the next day.

Convenient

They offer Chinese service, which is very convenient. However, they charge 1 NZD from your credit card, stating it's to test your card, and they don’t refund it. It feels a bit strange, almost like forcibly collecting a tip (similar to going through customs in Southeast Asia).

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.
