Excellent

Quick response and excellent service. They repeatedly reminded us to drive safely and even recommended some good travel routes.

The car rental company is Chinese-owned, communication was smooth. However, the Toyota Corolla we rented was very old with almost 150,000 kilometers on it. Without any collision incident, the chassis guard screws fell off, likely due to the car's poor condition. Although it was a minor issue, it delayed our journey and made us anxious. Objectively, the rental price was quite cheap, but we didn't know beforehand that the car had nearly 150,000 km on it. Otherwise, we would have preferred to spend more for a newer car. Also, when picking me up to the store, I specifically asked the driver about the car's mileage, and he casually said around 70,000 to 80,000 km. Not sure why he needed to play this trick since I could see it once I started the engine. The store actually has many new cars available, including Corolla, Camry, and Alphard. However, the owner and the staff are quite clever, hehe. Overall, the service was good, but make sure to ask about the car's condition before renting.

Even though we contacted customer service on WeChat before our flight from Auckland, we still had to wait quite a while for pick-up upon arrival in Christchurch. We waited over half an hour before we had to call again for the staff to come. On the plus side, we got to use a rice cooker, condiments, and rice left by previous customers for free, which saved us some money. We also left quite a few items behind when we left. We paid a 2500 NZD deposit, which is supposed to be refunded about a month after returning the car. Overall, the car rental experience was decent, but the car was old (over 100,000 kilometers) and noisy. I'll update the review after the deposit is refunded.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions and resolving issues. The entire process of picking up and returning the car was very smooth.
