Overall, it's good, but why do they need to charge in advance? The bank charges fees for both the charge and refund. They persuaded me to buy full insurance so that the advance charge could be avoided, which added over 2,000 yuan. While extra safety is a benefit, it should still be up to the individual. When I picked up a car in the USA, there were no advance charges or additional fees.
We waited for 3 and a half hours to get our car. We arrived at the store at 11:30 am, but there was no one to help us, causing us to be 30 minutes late for check-in. Once check-in started, we had to wait in line past our scheduled 1 pm. More people came in later but they got in line ahead of us. We were always the last! It wasn't until after 3 pm that we started the car inspection. The car itself had many issues and had been in an accident. They said there were no other cars available...
“Christchurch Pickup and Return, Mid and East Line”

Perhaps because I picked up the car in the morning, the processing speed was quite good. The shuttle bus directly transfers from the airport, driven by elderly gentlemen who are very helpful with the luggage.
“Auckland - Hot Water Beach - Rotorua - Lake Taupo - Auckland”
About apollo_motorhome:2.0/10
A tall lady at the rental company insisted that I pay for insurance, otherwise she would not hand over the car. I refused to buy it, explaining that I had rented a car for 15 days on the South Island without purchasing their proposed insurance. She brought another lady to persuade me, but I continued to emphasize that the contract allowed a pre-authorization of 5000 NZD on my credit card for any accident costs. They still refused to hand over the car. We were stuck for 3 hours. Finally, I called the domestic customer service of the rental company, and they negotiated to follow the contract. Then they asked me to pay 25 NZD for a gas canister. I pointed out that during my 15-day rental in Christchurch, this fee was not charged. Why is this fee not included in Auckland when it's the same rental company? They eventually removed the gas canister and gave me the car key. Their attitude was very poor. I want to know if the motorhome rental includes the gas canister or not and request a refund of 25 NZD. A special mention to the young man who attended to us during the car return process; he was enthusiastic, professional, and patient. If I had met him during the pickup, things wouldn't have been so troublesome.
“15 Days Clockwise Caravan Trip around New Zealand's South Island”
About apollo_motorhome:10.0/10
Upon arriving in Christchurch, we immediately called the rental company, and shortly after, a car with the company's logo came to pick us up. We were attended to by a girl from Taiwan. She was beautiful, enthusiastic, and generously helped us fill out the forms. She provided us with many suggestions and assistance. She was professional, helpful, and both picking up and returning the car went smoothly. We noticed there were many people renting cars in Christchurch, and the staff seemed relatively few.
