I spent a few weeks on a road trip in the South Island and before picking up a car rental company I did a lot of research.

From online reviews, it looked like all major car rental (both locals and international ones) had one main issue: customers complained about the car breaking down or having some issues at some point along the travel. And that honestly is a nightmare!

So I opted for Anzed Rental Cars because it had great reviews.

Vaughan, the owner, is one of the most helpful and detail-oriented guys I've found in New Zealand. Coming from Europe it was unusual for us driving on the left. Vaughan dedicated us almost 2 hours when we arrived to explain to us how car driving is different there and he gave us so much priceless advice.

The car he gave us never had any single issue! I couldn't have been more happy with my car rental.

I wish I could find a "Vaughan" everyone I hire a car!!
