I paid for a GPS for the trip as I didnt want to pay to use the internet on my phone due to being overseas but Apex does not offer any GPS.
I also waited for an hour in the pick up zone outside, called 10-15 times and got nothing.
I ended up walking in the rain to find the place.
Good car, comfortable, good experience. Staff is able to help by telephone, everything oké.
Either at the third party rentals website or at Apex it would be good to mention better that an English drivers licence is needed in New Zealand to prevent any surprises at the counter!
Like: Queenstown was great. Our Air BnB wa absolutely fantastic with amazing views. Hire car was exactly the right size and easy to drive. Dislike: Car didn’t have much power
“Great company, but car was fairly old. Worked though.”
About Apex:7.7/10
This car was fairly old and probably should be taken out of service. It has over 150,000 km in it and does not have some of the now basic options of most cars like cruise control, usb plug and backup camera. The car did the job, but felt a bit clunky so I was sometimes scared it would break down on me.
It wasn’t for this particular experience but for another incident that we had a lot trouble picking up the rental vehicle. This was in Gold Coast Australia. Our pick up time was at 4pm but we couldn’t arrive until 5:15pm. No one from apex was available because it has closed. We couldn’t pick up the car until the next day. It brought a lot of headache and anxiety. I do emphasize that when you book online for future reservations please make it in BOLD letters or an extra prompt indicating that we need to pay extra for after hour services and to indicate the time of your closing. That was a very unfortunate experience when we arrived at the parking lot to only find out it was closed and this was after we called 5 times without an answer.
one of the car tires was not safe to drive and i suffered a side-wall blow out. Luckily, i was able to change the (small) spare and get to a service facility. Apex didn't give the best advice by phone, but when I returned with a receipt of service and the original tire, they quickly and professionally credited me for the charge I incurred.
It wasn’t clear that the name of the car company was Apex. This causes confusion and we missed our pickup. It wasn’t clear that a pickup was needed at all from the booking. This caused distress as it was pouring when we arrived and had an infant with us.
Besides credit cards and debit cards, now you can pay for online car rentals with cryptocurrency in 2020. Bitcoin(BTC), ethereum(ETH), and bitcoin cash(BCH) are accepted. Wonder how long does a bitcoin transaction takes and how to pay with bitcoin? Read our FAQs.
