We had to call and walk to a car pick up location, but we were treated very well and the van we rented was a great price and amount of space for an adult family to travel together.

I reserved the car for 5:30 PM, but the rental company closed at 5:00 PM and charged me an extra 50 NZD. They didn't wait for me, and since we were unfamiliar with the place, we spent 40 NZD on a taxi to their office, only to find no one there! Instead, they left the car keys at a hotel front desk for me to pick up. There were no buses or taxis nearby, making it almost impossible to get there. Thankfully, we met a Chinese employee from another rental company who saw our plight and kindly drove us to the hotel, so we could finally get the car.

I had scheduled to pick up the car at 5:30 PM, but the rental company closed at 5 PM, charging me an extra 50 NZD. They didn't wait for me though. We were unfamiliar with the area, spent 40 NZD on a taxi to get to their office, and found no one there! Instead, they left the car key at a hotel front desk for me to pick up. There was no public transit or taxis nearby, making it impossible to reach. Luckily, we met an employee from another car rental company who helped us out of sympathy and took us to the hotel, and we finally got the car.

Overall, the process felt very slow. I called right after landing, and after half an hour, no one came to pick me up. I ended up taking a taxi to the store myself. This was my third car rental in New Zealand, and this company had the slowest service. Make sure to read reviews on Zuzuche carefully.

Very disappointed about all the hidden costs. Extra costs to reduce the amount held as bond on your credit card. Extra costs to sort tolls. Extra costs for after hours drop off. Will never use this discounted car hire again because of this. Will go with a reputable company based at the airport that has an all inclusive price.

Very good. However, you need to walk quite a distance after exiting the airport to find the shuttle bus. Similarly, when getting dropped off at the airport, you might have to push your luggage for five minutes in the rain to reach the terminal. In short, it would be more convenient if the store were inside the airport. The staff communicated smoothly and provided excellent service, but the distance is a major drawback.

Make sure to book the car right after passing customs, or you'll wait for half an hour.
