The only time I got exactly the car I booked for a self-drive rental.

Initially, we didn't get a child seat, but after calling another branch for help, they resolved the issue the next day.

Very convenient

I completed the procedures at the airport counter and picked up the car from the parking lot myself. I chose this company for its reputation. The only downside was the lack of Chinese service, and communicating in our limited English made us feel uneasy. We informed them that we had bought full insurance through the rental platform, and they didn't insist on anything further. Thankfully, everything went smoothly. The car was in great condition and practically new. We were given a Mazda CX5 of the same class instead. Although they said the tank was full at pickup, it just showed 530 kilometers, and when we returned the car, we filled up to over 600 kilometers, so we felt slightly cheated. The return process was smooth; we simply handed the keys to a gentleman in the airport parking lot, and he just took a quick look—no need to go to the counter. I couldn't believe it was that easy. Just remember to mark the car location on GPS after picking up, as you have to return it to the same place, and the stress of finding it when in a hurry to catch a flight can be frustrating. Right-hand drive wasn't as difficult as imagined. It's advisable to review the traffic rules multiple times before going. We had navigation guiding us and another person keeping an eye on the rules, which was very helpful. There were no extra charges for adding an additional driver. Overall, the driving experience was excellent. Pre-booking a car through the rental platform was also a good decision. My friends are eager to rent again through this service for our next trip.

Renting a car in Christchurch is very easy. You need to have the original driver's license and an English translation, which must be government-certified. The Hertz translation provided by QEEQ is not legally valid and not recognized by the rental company.
