Auckland-Hamilton-Hobbiton-Rotorua Round Trip

The queue wasn't long, but the processing speed was really slow.

The staff were very nice and helpful. We booked a Corolla hatchback, and the staff offered to upgrade us to a sedan for free. However, since it was just my wife and me, the space was sufficient and we preferred the hatchback, so we politely declined the offer.

The entire process was simple and clear.

Very bad experience, the worst car rental company I've ever dealt with abroad. The representative at the counter was a Korean guy who gave us a very old car. The car had severe scratches, which were not documented on the form. So, we took pictures of the car and went to the counter to verify. The representative was already dealing with another foreigner, so I waited. After finishing with the foreigner, the Korean guy personally helped him by driving the car over and providing excellent service. When it was my turn to verify the car's condition, he was unwilling to help. I insisted that he must check it with me, and he reluctantly agreed, grumbling all the while. The whole car had scratches, and the wheels were seriously scratched, but the form only noted three places. Of course, I had to verify everything face-to-face before driving away. And what kind of attitude is that? Such obvious discrimination against Chinese tourists! Complaint!!

The store is relatively close to the airport, but the process of getting the car is quite cumbersome and not as efficient as in Europe or the US. The vehicle is too small to accommodate luggage.
