Nice compact car , good driving and fuel efficient - would have been good to have some extra tech in the car like a reverse camera, car play etc but other than that

Easy process, good prices, one of the few places that offered pickup from Queenstown town centre as opposed to airport. Would recommend.

The counter staff at Apex was unhelpful, rude and very short with us. She didn't check the car with us, just told us where it was. The car we received was from 2011, the bumper was dislodged and had to be snapped back into place, the inside panel casing around the seatbelt repeatedly had to be pushed back together. The radio in the car would not connect to my phone.
