Was I actually being filmed for reality TV?
Fish and rental companies; neither seem to travel well in the tropics. I've rented many times from Apex in NZ and thought what could go wrong. Plenty! The woman at the counter was evasive in her answers. She would not answer the simple question of "is there any grace period?" I decided to go out for a quick ride of the block on my road bike to smell the flowers. Back again, loins girded, I got the branch manager, and then got lost in the other customers when her expertise in bullying was called upon. I'd initially signed up for the 2750 AUD excess as I have international excess reduction insurance up to 4000AUD. Nope, after listening in on my "former" front of counter assistant demolish a returning renter, I decided a 500AUD excess was worth the 11AUD per day. The other renter's argument [damaged windscreen was preexisting damage from hail not noted on the defect list but clearly prior to their pickup [as Apex agreed to the roof pummeling]] was sound but when the threat of "do you want to get back to the airport" was made, I quickly changed my mind and paid an extra 44AUD. Note, also, they offer a downtown branch, but do check [as I did not]. Their downtown branch is their airport branch and the airport branch is the city branch; they're the same branch and are within mortar distance of the runway, Pleased I had the road bike to ride 4km from "downtown" to the virtual reality that is "Apex downtown". I'm sure it was all being filmed for reality TV and I look forward the credits for my walk on part.
