The car rental service was good. After arriving by plane, we contacted them by phone, and they picked us up at the airport in about 10 minutes to complete the pick-up procedures.

There was hardly any queue, possibly because of the time we arrived. We had a dedicated car to pick us up from the airport. It's a family business, and both the owner and his wife were very friendly. Unlike in China, you need to be aware of the deposit policy. It's not like Shenzhou Car Rental where the pre-authorization is immediately unfrozen upon return. The pre-authorization for my rental was 2500 NZD. Since we were heading to Sydney for our next stop, the owner's wife manually released the pre-authorization for us, although it might take some time to process. So if you have a tight budget, do prepare for this. Overall, it went smoothly, and I will rent from here again for a longer trip with family.

A bit hard to find the office upon picking up. Car is in average condition - not the cleanest, still had someone's used tissue paper in the car. GPS that comes with the car is in Japanese and probably hasn't been updated or anything to suit NZ map. No Bluetooth or aux input. Communication with the counter staff when picking the car was not the greatest. Otherwise, it's nice that they drop you off at the airport after returning the car.

All good. No problem.

Car was broken when it’s given to us on the first day and there was no other car can be replaced. The car was temporary fixed so we drove it home and found it still broken the next day which caused we are unable to use this car for the entire trip! Lovetrip doesn’t willing to provide full refund but only accept to refund first 2 days after several requests.
