The BMW 4 Series I originally booked got extended by the previous customer, so the rental company gave me a brand-new Mercedes C-Class instead. The experience was great overall, the deposit was refunded exactly on time, the staff were really friendly, and all the charges were very clear—no hidden fees or shady tricks at all.
Picked the Outback for Subaru’s AWD, but the branch said the model I booked was in for repairs so I couldn’t have it (no idea if that was actually true). They said I could “upgrade” to a pickup, which made no sense since we had huge suitcases, so the only SUV option left was to upgrade to a Ford Everest. The price wasn’t crazy, about 60 RMB per day. They ended up giving us the Platinum version – great spec, V6 diesel with full-time 4WD, perfect for all the different road conditions on the South Island – so we didn’t bother arguing at the counter, but it still felt like a bit of a sneaky upsell. In terms of driving, the Everest was totally fine: RWD on tarmac, switchable 4WD off-road, more than enough. The paint was tough too, all those flying stones didn’t leave any visible scratches. Only downside: it guzzles fuel – 80L of diesel for about 650km of range.
The manager’s service was pretty good. The only issue was that the car I booked wasn’t actually available, so they had to rush one in from somewhere else, which wasted quite a bit of time. They did give me some fuel as compensation though, so overall it was still a decent experience.
The whole rental process was super smooth and fast, the car was really new and drove great. It carried us through more than ten amazing days in New Zealand—absolutely loved it!
The store is right across the street from the airport, just a short walk away, and returning the car is directly on the way to the terminal. The car was almost brand new, with just over 8,000 km on the clock. Thankfully it had built-in GPS, because on the last day, right before returning the car, all our phones lost data for no reason—both China Telecom and China Mobile totally failed us—but in the end everything went smoothly. The car had plenty of power for uphill drives too.
Honestly exceeded my expectations. I’d been worried about hidden fees, but everything turned out super transparent, legit, and smooth from start to finish.
