“From Auckland Airport, 120 km north to Wangawhai, then from Wangawhai to Taupo.”
About Ezi:2.0/10
Ezi rental car company gave me the worst service I've experienced in my over ten years of renting cars. Especially during pickup, I encountered difficulties: First, they challenged my international driver's license translation because it lacked a New Zealand Transport Agency stamp and asked me to pay onsite for a translation service. Then they gave me a downgraded car. Since it was late, I had to pay onsite to upgrade to the car I originally booked.

About Ezi:2.0/10
Ezi Car Rental is the worst car rental company I have encountered in my over ten years of renting cars, especially regarding the pick-up service. First, they made things difficult because my international driver's license translation didn't have a New Zealand Transport Agency stamp, and I had to pay for their translation service on the spot. Then, they gave me a downgraded car, and since it was late, I had to pay for an upgrade to get the car I wanted.
The staff at Ezi Car Rental were very friendly and the procedures were simple. We purchased the super comprehensive insurance from the QEEQ platform, and the rental company didn't try to sell us their own insurance. The vehicle was very new, even equipped with a heads-up display and adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise control is an amazing feature in New Zealand, almost equivalent to autopilot.
Overall it was okay. There were five of us with five pieces of luggage: four medium-sized suitcases and one carry-on. The trunk could only fit the four medium-sized suitcases, so it was a bit cramped. The car rental service was fine.
I believe this company purposely charges extra fees. When returning the car, they found a scratch on the windshield in less than half a minute, claiming we caused it. At the time, I didn't have the photos of the car from when we picked it up, so I thought it might have been our fault. Later, we found photos on my wife's phone showing the scratch was already there when we picked up the car. The EZi store clerk in Japan, who found the scratch within 30 seconds, confirmed the photos and assured me we would get a refund, saying they were 100% certain. I confirmed with him multiple times, and he said no additional proof was needed. But now, back in my home country, after waiting the promised five business days, the rental company is denying the refund. I believe they make money off minor damages like these. My advice is to avoid EZi Car Rental or make sure to thoroughly photograph the front and rear windshields. Other damages are usually obvious and don't need as much attention. Don't easily accept charges without evidence, especially for the windshield. Getting a refund is extremely difficult, and they might even go back on their word. However, I have to commend Zuzuche for their responsibility. Always rent through Zuzuche for better protection against such international rental companies' unethical practices.
