The car model you book may be upgraded in general, but I don't know how to handle child seats.

Just put it on the seat, it's enough. They're all ragged and torn.

Buy a used one online and take it with you. Free checked baggage on the plane. I bought it for 20 SGD in Singapore when I went to Australia, and sold it for 20 SGD when I came back. Even if you don't sell it, it's usually cheaper than renting one.

Help, I'm from the South Island and returning to the North Island. I rented a car from Budget. Today I received an email saying that the rental car company wants me to return the car at the ferry terminal, and then pick it up at the Wellington terminal. It's really inconvenient.

I added an extra day in Auckland and wanted to rent the car for an extra day. The car rental company quoted me 120 NZD because the extra day was over 24 hours. But I wanted to say that I didn't exceed 24 hours the day before. Then a woman came and said she would give me a discount, but in the end, she said it would cost 600 RMB, which was even more expensive than before. I was so drunk that I didn't even want to rent it anymore. I wonder if you guys have encountered such things and how you handled them ? New Zealand Q&A

What should I do if I drive a Road trip car with four elderly people for nine days in the South Island? Should I rent a Highlander or a larger MPV like the Toyota Alphard? Which one has more space?

I kept confirming that it was a zero payment when I picked up the car, but ended up signing a bunch of liability forms. My credit card was charged $60? Do you have a similar situation? I'm going to ask when I return to China ? New Zealand Q&A

I'm still working hard to get back the cost of a tank of gas. On the way back from the South Island to Auckland, I took half a day to go to Muriwai Beach and spent half a day looking for a rental car company near the airport. I found a Corolla for 480 yuan with full insurance. When I picked up the car, the salesperson tried to sell me an additional 27 New Zealand dollars of insurance, but I ignored her. When I looked inside the car, the fuel tank only had enough fuel to run 121 kilometers. I told her about it, and she said it was no problem as long as I returned the car with an empty fuel tank. Since the pickup and return process had gone smoothly before, I didn't think much of it. When I returned the car the next morning, there was still enough fuel in the tank to run for more than 130 kilometers. But as soon as I arrived at the airport, I received information that I had been charged 134.11 New Zealand dollars, and when I asked, it turned out to be for fuel. Can you imagine where the credibility comes from ? New Zealand Q&A

So suggest people rent cars with credit cards and make sure your credit cards have rental car insurance. My card has it, so I don't have to buy any collision insurance. After getting home, I just fill out an online claim form, upload all the photos, documents, and credit card records when I rented the car, etc. Two weeks later, I received an email saying the claim was approved, and all the windshield fees that the rental car company deducted from me were returned to me. They asked me how I wanted them to send the money to me ? New Zealand Q&A

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if I need to buy full insurance when renting a car. I noticed that full insurance is very expensive in Queenstown. I am planning to go to New Zealand at the end of August, is it considered the peak tourist season? Do I need to book hotels and tickets in advance ? New Zealand Q&A

The service staff took a lot of pictures when I picked up the car. I thought they were professional, so I didn't take any pictures (besides, I thought that since I had full insurance, there wouldn't be any problems if an accident happened). Today, when I returned the car, a different lady looked at it very carefully and found a little damage to the paint. She didn't compare it to the pictures when I picked up the car. She just emphasized that I didn't need to make any payments, but asked me to sign. I wondered if the insurance company was playing some kind of trick ? New Zealand Q&A

Can the whole electronic visa passport be scanned (all blank pages are scanned)? Or just the used pages (such as the pages with exit stamps)? In addition, do you need to scan the new passport if the previous passport has many transit stamps and visas? If scanned, do you also need to scan the whole passport, including blank pages?

Apply for an electronic visa to New Zealand online, fill in the name according to the requirements, and find that the displayed name is opposite to the passport. If this is issued, the name should also be reversed. How do you fill in when you apply? For example, the visa is XU ZHANG, and the passport is ZHANG XU. Or do you need to reverse the order of the name when applying for the visa to keep it consistent with the order of the passport ? New Zealand Q&A
