Pickup and Return: The staff at the dealership are all Chinese, so language barriers were a breeze. After landing at the airport, I called and someone came to pick me up. The process was also relatively straightforward. I had an NZTA translation, so I didn't need the "white card." If you're using the white card, remember to affix your photo and signature on the last page! Without a photo and signature, the police won't recognize the white card as legitimate. Upon return, the staff walked the car around and inspected it, clearing any issues before returning it. In my entire car rental experience, I've never encountered a dealership that used a flashlight to assess damage. Perhaps it's because I rented through a major platform, and the cars I received were relatively new, so the process was relatively smooth. I hope everyone has a smooth rental experience like me, and that you all travel safely and return home safely!
Car Condition: The car is in excellent condition. With over 70,000 kilometers, the interior is spotless, the air conditioning is odor-free, and the exterior looks brand new. You can tell they always do a thorough job of preserving the car after returning it. For someone like me who cares about keeping my car clean, this is a truly excellent feature!
Service: When we picked up the car, the staff told us they had upgraded it. We rented a Toyota RAV4 or similar model, and received a Nissan X-TRAIL. Since it was winter in New Zealand, we rented snow chains, which we paid for on the spot. The staff also taught us how to install and use them. Because my itinerary changed and I needed to rent the car for two more days, I called the staff to request a late return. They told me the delay was acceptable and that I could use the car normally afterward without any objections. Remember to request this in advance to give the rental company time to prepare. Remember to call during business hours! Don't disturb any staff during off-hours (I hope people in China learn this).
The pictures show the car when I picked it up, and it looks quite new. I was very satisfied with my experience!
