The staff is very kind

The shop assistant was very kind, the car was very new, and there were no problems even with a journey of over a thousand kilometers. It's recommended even for those who are not good at English.

Toda Japan
Fantastic service

The service is really fantastic, any inquiries are responded to promptly, and I am thoroughly satisfied.

Iwai Japan
Extremely satisfied !

I'm extremely satisfied. They picked us up, took care of the car, dropped us off, and even drove us to the airport. The service was exceptional, they were very friendly, resolved any issues promptly, and communicated effectively. Whenever we had questions or encountered any problems, they provided timely assistance. The car is brand new this year. It adapted well to cruise control when I drove it. I easily covered 2200 kilometers in 11 days with this feature.

Tahatake Japan

The staff here are really friendly. They answered all our questions with patience. They even offer free pick-up from the airport, and they contacted us beforehand to send the map. Highly recommend them.

Amelia McKinlay Sydney, Australia
Free airport pickup and friendly service

Friendly service, all in Chinese, free airport pickup During the process, we were worried about heatstroke and provided drinking water thoughtfully. The best thing is that they also took some time to take us to practice right-hand driving in the city, so that we can get started with confidence! The most recommended car rental in the South Island!

The service attitude is very good, the people are very kind, and the explanations are directly in Chinese. The car is new and easy to drive, and there is a free airport pick-up service.

Qi-Fu Lu Taiwan
The service was very good

The service was very good. They were worried that I was not familiar with right-hand driving, so they took me 15-20 minutes to drive me a short distance in the city. What’s great is that they provide hotel pick-up to their car rental location. I feel that even though it is a small thing, it is considerate 🙂
