Christchurch - Timaru - Queenstown - Dunedin

The car was delivered later than the scheduled time. We arranged to pick it up at 9 AM, but by 9:31 it still hadn't arrived. While driving, the car made a loud noise and couldn't be driven properly. They claimed it was sand in the brake pads. We drove on regular roads, not gravel, and requested a repair. They demanded a credit card for security and blamed us for the issue. When we reported this to the rental company, their staff insulted us, questioning our integrity. We didn't make up the problem; the car had an issue and the rental company should inspect it to determine responsibility. Instead, they asked for our credit card with unclear intentions. This almost ruined our plans. With such an attitude and service, who would dare to rent from them? Cars can have issues, but this approach and attitude are unacceptable.

Aside from the car’s condition not being great, everything else was fine.

To be honest, I'm very dissatisfied with this company. I booked a new Toyota Yaris, but upon pickup, I received an old Nissan Tiida from 10 years ago. The car was dirty and hadn't been cleaned, and there were numerous scratches. When I pointed these out and took photos, they said it didn't matter. I requested this be noted on the pickup form, but they told me not to rent if I didn't like it and questioned why I was inspecting the car so carefully. They said all their cars were in this condition. When I returned the car, they charged me almost 4000 RMB for a small two-centimeter paint chip on the rear of the car. I rented the car for 11 days for less than 2000 RMB. Charging nearly 4000 RMB for a scratch smaller than a fingernail? Are they crazy?

Avoid renting from this company at all costs. The car was extremely old, had been driven for thousands of kilometers, and was covered in scratches. Shortly after we drove it, it wouldn't start. When we asked about it, we received vague responses. We had to put up with it for our trip. After returning to our country, they informed us of a speeding ticket, which we paid directly on the official website. They still charged us a handling fee. Very dishonest. Don't be tempted by low prices or Chinese companies. It's better to rent from a large company in New Zealand.

The customer service was excellent
