I rented an Aqua car from Blue Rentals on February 2nd.
Car: The car was quite new, and the Aqua was better than I expected, with direct phone connection for navigation and music playback.
Service: Overall, I was quite satisfied with the service. There were several Chinese-speaking customer service representatives who were friendly. They picked me up from the airport and took me to the rental location, and even drove me back to the airport when I returned the car. I also received a small gift at the end.
Value for Money: Compared to other rental companies, this one offered excellent value for money when I booked. I booked 20 days in advance for 250 RMB per day + 150 RMB for insurance (full coverage). At a salmon restaurant in Mount Cook, my windshield inexplicably developed a crack in the parking lot (but since the car didn't have a dashcam, I couldn't determine the cause). The windshield was deemed irreparable and needed replacement, but my insurance came in handy.
Additional Note: Before traveling, learn about driving rules and potential situations from platforms like Xiaohongshu or customer service. Always be courteous to pedestrians while driving. This will make your trip much more comfortable.
