We arrived after travelling 24 hours from Switzerland feeling exhausted and hoping for a smooth pick up.
1) Problems when picking up
However my Swiss driving license was not accepted without a translation.
As a result I had to take a taxi to my bnb and contact a professional translation company. All in all this cost me an addition NZD 200 and a considerable amount of unnecessary stress.
During my previous visits zo NZ my Swiss driving license has always been accepted without any problems.
When closing the contract this issue was not expressly brought to my attention.
2) Quality of the car
When contracting a car for 6 weeks I expect to be given a relatively new car.
However the car was from 2017 and had 221,000 km on the clock. Not a new car but what I would call an old banger!
