When I picked up the car at the Auckland airport counter, they said that the model I needed (Highlander) was not available. They asked me to downgrade to a RAV4 or switch to a minivan.
After almost two hours of back and forth, they finally managed to get a Highlander for me, wasting a lot of time. For a big company like HERTZ, such issues are absolutely inexcusable.
We started queuing at around 6 PM local time and there were only 4 people ahead of us. We didn't get our keys until 8:30. The efficiency is incredibly poor, with each pickup taking about 30 minutes on average. Just one person at the counter, and phone calls and returns also affect the efficiency.
Firstly, the deposit hasn't been refunded yet! Secondly, I rented the car for one day and chose the full tank option, thinking they would deduct according to consumption, but they only refunded a certain percentage of the remaining fuel. The front desk didn't inform us about this when we booked. Frustrating. However, the service attitude was quite good. Just be cautious, everyone.
The service attitude was okay, but the car's tire treads were already quite worn. It is recommended to replace the tires to reduce the chance of a tire blowout during the rental period.
Renting a car was very convenient, and the Auckland airport branch opens very early! Returning the car was even easier! We haven't received the bill yet and don't know if there are any charges.
Very convenient, and the customer service was excellent. We picked up the car at Auckland Airport, and the Hertz service counter was immediately to the right as we exited the airport, very close. Our itinerary included a ferry from the North Island to the South Island. After pre-booking and self-service car exchange, we picked up a car directly from the Hertz counter on the South Island. It was very convenient.
Hertz rental company employees are professional and provide detailed explanations of vehicle conditions, New Zealand road conditions, driving precautions, and car insurance. Due to being a large company, there are many people picking up cars, resulting in longer waiting times. The vehicle condition is average, with several minor scratches on the exterior. Make sure to record and confirm these with rental company staff when picking up the car.
The service representative who helped us was an Indian girl with a rather unfriendly attitude. She wouldn't rent us a GPS or sell the promoted insurance and gas, claiming they were out of stock. It wasn't until a gentleman intervened that we found one. The final payment was 382.09 NZD, higher than the quoted 344.31 NZD, an increase of approximately 40 NZD. Due to time constraints, we didn't argue. On checking the account later, the actual charge was 422.89 NZD, and we couldn't figure out why. Communicating from afar seemed more trouble than it's worth, so we let it go as a loss. I won't use this company again. JUCY is much better. We rented from both companies on this trip, and the difference was clear. JUCY was enthusiastic and eager to help (we had a flat tire, and they sent someone out right away). Their prices matched the quote, and they were fair. I recommend JUCY for their reliability. While not as famous as Hertz, JUCY’s service is superb. Their cars have distinctive branding, making them easy to spot, and fellow renters help each other out.
Picking up and returning the car was very quick and convenient.
It would be great if a detailed return route was provided because I got lost near the airport due to unfamiliarity with the area.
Hertz's customer service was great. The car pickup was very quick and convenient. The car was very new. I booked a Corolla on the North Island, but upon pickup, I found out I was upgraded to an SUV. The driving experience was great, and I am very satisfied.
