There was an African-American female staff member who had a terrible attitude, like we owed her money. Half an hour after picking up the car, we were informed of several complaints against us. We were asked to return the car to the rental office, and our order was forcibly canceled without a refund. When we requested details and evidence of the complaints, we were told that the complaints were only received over the phone with no specific details provided. Isn't this just a scam targeting Chinese people?

The pickup point is a 5-minute drive from the airport. After arriving at the airport, we called the car rental company, and they asked us to wait in the airport waiting area for a shuttle. The customer service does not speak Chinese, but their attitude was good. The translation document that worked in the North Island was not accepted here on the South Island at Apex, causing a lot of inconvenience.

Rental car pickup was very easy with a very helpful staff member.

The Qeeq booking platform was very easy to use and the connection between Qeeq and Apex car rentals was seamless.

The car was exceptionally great! The location for pickup and the price was great. The staff that was handling us was terrible. From the moment we reached here counter, she was unhappy and getting agitated without any reason, and the way she talked to us was rude. It was obvious she is avoiding minimum communication with us, whenever I asked any questions it’s mostly’yes’ or ‘no’. We were unfortunately enough to see here again when we dropped of the car, and it was obvious on the treatment. Right before us was another group of people who is of her ethnicity, and she asked how they we go from the rental place and she even catered a taxi for them. When it came to us, she did a quick check and said in a grumpy manner ‘ok, done, good bye’ and chased us of. The next person she approached, she gave a very good service by asking them how they are going off and laughing. Apex needs to look into this matter and train that particular staff to at least act decently and with equally treatment in front of the customers. Apart from this the other aspects were good.

Good platform to check and validate prices. Should cater more companies to use this. I have noticed there is a lot of Rental cars that’s not here. Plus, it will be better it the platform have more exotic cars available, like Touchdown rental of Queenstown, where they have Mustangs for rent.

Car exceeded expectations thanks to free upgrade. I shall only use Apex from now on as they always come up the best deal anyway and their staff are great.
