As a global car rental chain, their New Zealand branch's service processes, such as vehicle pickup, one-way returns, internal management, and after-sales procedures, are quite disappointing. First, at the Auckland Airport branch, when picking up the car, the staff lazily asked me to confirm the car condition and related terms on a tablet in their office (refusing to provide a printed or emailed copy, citing inconvenience). They did not accompany me to the vehicle parked several hundred meters away for an on-site inspection. After locating my rental car in the parking lot, I discovered discrepancies with the previously confirmed condition, including the absence of essential tools like a car jack for safe driving. I had to walk back, dragging my luggage, to the office for clarification. Second, when returning the vehicle at Christchurch Airport, I returned it before 8:00 AM at the designated Car Return location in the parking lot (the on-site staff collected the keys as proof). However, I later found out that the rental company had charged nearly 400 NZD from my pre-authorization without notifying me. After reporting this to the rental platform, the company claimed it was due to a late return at 11:00 AM, a supposed three-hour delay. Fortunately, I had retained my boarding pass and other evidence showing my flight departed promptly at 10:00 AM. After assistance and coordination from the rental platform, the issue was resolved. Third, during the rental period in Queenstown, one tire was punctured by a nail while driving in a downtown area. I immediately informed the rental company by phone and provided clear photos of the punctured section. However, two months after returning the vehicle, I was unexpectedly told that two tires had been damaged.
We were greeted by the Avis personnel at the airport pickup for assistance. We approached the extra care. All steps were handled professionally and efficiently. The Avis employee in charge was especially helpful. His name is Shon Middleton, and I want to thank him for outstanding customer service! He followed up with me to ensure that we found the car to our liking. That’s exceptional customer service!
First time user. Was initially skeptical, as booked price was considerably lower than others. However, research online calmed my nervousness about QEEQ--lots of positive reviews. And the entire process could not have been smoother. A satisfied customer!
