Great rental car

On October 3rd, after we landed, I called them to inform them that we had arrived. They told me to call again once we were outside the gate. When I called again, they said to wait 15 minutes. We, 3 adults and a baby, waited in the cold wind for more than 20 minutes. After finally getting on the shuttle bus, we had to wait for other people as well. The car was not at the airport. The staff had a very bad attitude, did not let us inspect the car before signing, and did not help us install the baby seat we paid for! The reviews said the car had a reversing camera, but when I was reversing, I found out it didn't! This led to me hitting a small mailbox, and now they are asking for over 900 dollars! When returning the car on October 17th, I waited at the office for 15 minutes before someone showed up. We negotiated from 4 PM to 6 PM. I said I would complain to the car rental service, and a female manager with short hair and glasses said they could take half the responsibility and charge me around 500 dollars. She wanted me to pay them 500 dollars at that moment and said the total cost would be over 900 dollars. However, my friend asked different car rentals in New Zealand, and the quotes were around 400-500 dollars. I believe in being honest! This car rental company caused this issue by not providing a car with a reversing camera as promised. Their attitude was also bad. They charged me 90 dollars for delivering a spare key, which I quickly paid. I was willing to pay for the parking fee myself. Still, I cannot accept this unreasonable demand for such a high amount, especially when the responsibility is unclear. I believe I am not at fault and got involved in a mess! It ruined my mood, and I feel wronged! This is the worst car rental experience I've ever had!

Good attitude, short waiting time

We frequently contacted the rental company during our trip, and they were always very courteous. The only dissatisfaction was with the person who handled our rental process. They only mentioned that the car should be returned with a full tank but didn't provide any driving tips or local rules. If it weren't our second time driving in New Zealand, we might have missed many local regulations. The rental company should not only explain the charges but also inform drivers about local driving rules. The employee just parked the car at the entrance and left. They didn't verify the existing scratches in front of us nor mentioned that the car had a foot brake. For a driver unfamiliar with the car, there should be some explanation. I had to figure everything out on my own. If it were my first time driving locally, I would have been completely lost.

Terrible, terrible and terrible! Don't ever try using this car rental company, you will regret and it will ruin your holiday! It is the worst experience I have in my car rental experience for the past 20 years. I wish there is a negative score for EZU!

English was not their first language - struggled with basic conversation which was frustrating. Lack of urgency to get us to check in on way home was frustrating even tho we kept them informed of our late eta.
