Short waiting time in line.

Only one hitch when I tried to extend the hire neither easy car nor apex wanted to take responsibility, however thanks to the manager in Auckland it was all sorted.

Would 100% recommend Apex cars. We were a bit worried having seen some negative reviews online beforehand, but were pleasantly surprised. Received excellent customer care at both pick up (Auckland) and drop off (Wellington). In addition, the car (a mazda axela as a tiida equvalent) was in great condition and very spacious and comfortable. No criticisims whatsoever, staff were helpful, courteous, welcoming, and had humour. We did also use Ace rentals for the south island, but found the quality and comfort of the Apex car rental, as well as the customer service to be far superior.

The Corolla was a nippy little car but is not insulated from road noise. The NZ roads have coarse seal and the noise was tiring. We did 1800km in 10 days. I still have not had a resolution to the fact a stone chip was probably collected on the screen during our rental. I took out the extra insurance through easy car rental AXApolicy, so don't know the out come...
