For groups of more than four, consider an SUV or camper van. For two people, a sedan is sufficient.

As a large company, they do not mention several hidden fees at the front desk. Please be aware, QEEQ platform and fellow customers, you must reject the Accident Excess and Premium Roadside Assistance Fee. This fraudulent company will not inform you of these charges at the time of car pickup.

I think renting a car is convenient and fast!

I rented a Highlander. However, after picking up the car, I found that both the front and rear cigarette lighters were not working, so I couldn't use the GPS. I had to return to Hertz and they said they were out of Highlanders and offered me a car called Captiva instead. After driving for about twelve or thirteen days, I went to the Hertz office in Dunedin to switch back to a Highlander because my car needed maintenance. Again, they told me there were no Highlanders available but said they could lower my rental price because the car I was driving was a lower-tier model than the Highlander. Well, they only mentioned this now. At the end of my trip, when I returned the car in the local office at around 5:00 PM and specifically requested an adjustment in the rental price, the staff said the manager had already left and I would have to wait until the next day for a response. But I was flying out that night. I waited for two or three more days without any reply, so I emailed Hertz's customer service. After several days, they responded, saying they could only reduce the price by 100 NZD including tax, even though the price difference on their website for the same season was 285 NZD. After many email exchanges, they finally said there's no further adjustment that could be made. This is Hertz's service for you. I thought choosing Hertz would mean better service, but clearly not. The staff at the pickup location was dishonest.

Good

The store is right inside the airport, with a prominent Hertz sign, easy to spot at a glance. The service at the store is also quite good, procedures are simple, and they explain New Zealand's right-hand driving rules and other precautions.
