Picking up in downtown Auckland and dropping off at the airport was really convenient. The RAV4 had plenty of space, handled New Zealand roads well, was clean, and ran without any issues. The paperwork was quick and easy, and the whole experience was great—I'll definitely go with them again next time!

They were a bit short-staffed, so after finishing the paperwork I had to walk over and get the car myself. Luckily there was someone in the lot who walked me through all the controls and features one by one.

There’s only one counter, so the line moves really slowly and you end up waiting a long time.

Pretty good overall, but we hit a kangaroo and had to pay upfront for the damages. The claim is still being processed.
