Is Apex Experiencing Any Contact Centre Delays?
As part of the global efforts to help contain the spread of the Coronavirus, recent government measures may have an impact on our ability to service your call as swiftly as we would like.
The health and safety of our team members and customers is our priority, and we appreciate your patience during this time. You may also contact us via our websites.
Is Apex Taking Any Additional Precautions to Help Reduce the Spread of the Coronavirus?
We are closely monitoring the information shared by the World Health Organization concerning advice on how to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
To help protect our staff and customers we are encouraging regular hand washing, and the use of hand sanitizer, where available. We’ve also enhanced the already robust cleaning techniques of our vehicles after each rental. In particular, we are paying special attention to the places people touch such as steering wheels, door handles and other hard surfaces.
We advise all our customers to keep updated on the latest developments from the World Health Organisation and the Ministry of Health NZ or Department of Health Australia.
What if I still have my rental car in New Zealand and need to return it during the lock down?
Unfortunately the Covid-19 nationwide lockdown in New Zealand means we have had to close all Apex depots nationwide. You can find depot specific instructions on how to return your vehicle by either clicking on the drop off link from your email confirmation, or finding the appropriate instructions on the pages below:
