The service was prompt and attentive, with convenient and fast pickup and return processes.

Initially, we were given an MG, but its trunk was too small to fit 4 suitcases. After negotiating, since there was no X-Trail available, we received a new Toyota RAV4, which was a hybrid. The car had a mileage of 13,000 km, was in great condition, and was fuel-efficient, consuming about 5.8 liters per 100 km. The return process was very simple; we just handed over the keys, and they didn’t even check the car’s condition. However, they sent me a final invoice and charged a small additional fee, which was the first time this had happened. Since the amount was small and there was no extra charge for an additional driver, I didn’t pursue it further.

The store had a short queue, but the staff was pretty slow and often answered phone calls. Initially, I chose Avis despite being double the price because I wanted a new car and good service. However, the actual cars provided were quite old, one had nearly 40,000 km and the other almost 30,000 km. The Mitsubishi SUV was also outdated. Later in Auckland, I rented from EUROPCAR, and got two very new SUVs with one having 1,500 km and the other 5,000 km. The car features were also excellent.

The customer service of the rental car company could not provide the correct drop-off location as per my request. They just kept repeating the complicated drop-off instructions! The overall service level of the staff needs improvement!

The process was convenient, the car was new, but there was an issue picking up the car in Picton
