Avis and Budget are part of the same group, so we were assisted by an Avis representative. He was very polite, and the paperwork was processed quickly. Self-pickup of the car was very convenient.

Satisfactory

They provided me with a Hyundai Tucson with 32,666 km on it. Surprisingly, it was fully equipped with keyless entry and start, heated seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control (these two features are really helpful for first-time right-hand drivers, as the car tended to veer left initially), pre-collision warning, steering assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Apart from the lack of a 360-degree camera, it had everything. There are many winding roads in the South Island, and local drivers take corners very quickly.

The process was very smooth, both pick-up and drop-off were quick, and the staff upgraded our car for free. We had a great time throughout the trip.

Not bad
