The originally booked seven-seater Toyota was not available, and I was given a nine-seater Hyundai van instead... Not cool. Moreover, I only found out at the last moment after signing all the documents. They didn’t inform me that the car I booked wasn’t available, just made me sign the papers.

Great! Picked up the car in Auckland downtown. Although it's a bit far from the Sky Tower, it's still manageable to walk over.

Couldn't find the pickup location at all. The store had moved, but the website wasn't updated in time. On a rainy morning, I ventured out just to be informed by a neighboring store that it had relocated. I had to take a cab in the rain, costing $25 to finally find the store. The only response from the staff was a sorry.
