01 "我没有打算收钱，所以不算黑车。" 这几年日本热度一直很高，疫情之前国人去日本包车旅游，很多都坐过这种白牌黑车。 理由很简单，价格比绿牌车便宜，司机是华人，沟通、支付啥的都方便，加上派车的还是国内知名的大平台，在游客眼里也 是"正规渠道"。 但白牌车的风险也显而易见，没有乘客保险，一旦出了交通事故，游客没有赔偿，只能自己扛，还有就是司机水平参差不 齐，很多司机是留学生，或者是旅游签证专门过来捞金的。 对于白牌黑车，日本官方的立场向来是严厉打击，这几年包括东京、名古屋、京都、神户等在内的热门城市，就抓了很多白 牌车司机和幕后老板。 前阵子，日本新宫市警方逮捕了一名刚出院的26岁中国籍男子，罪名是该男子涉嫌"开黑车"致人死亡。 据日本媒体报道，9月30日该男子驾驶一辆"白牌"私家车，拉了7名中国游客，在和歌山县新宫市168号国道上跟一辆卡车迎面 相撞，导致车内1名女性游客死亡。 尽管审讯中该男子一口咬死说自己没收钱，但经警方调查发现车费已经提前预付。 经常去日本的朋友应该知道，绿色牌照才是日本合法的营运车辆，白牌车在日本就是私家车。 比如，今年2月底日本警方破获一起非法运营"黑车"案件，对包括6名中国籍人员 ...

Core Viewpoint - New Zealand has announced a trial visa-free entry policy for Chinese citizens holding valid Australian visas, effective from November, which is expected to boost tourism but may not benefit local Chinese car rental businesses due to intense price competition [1][6]. Group 1: Visa Policy Impact - The trial visa-free entry policy will allow Chinese citizens with valid Australian visas to stay in New Zealand for up to three months without a visa [1]. - This policy has led to a surge in travel searches for New Zealand on OTA platforms, indicating a potential increase in Chinese tourists [1]. Group 2: Car Rental Market Dynamics - The typical daily rental price for a seven-seat vehicle in New Zealand ranges from 700 to 1000 NZD, but prices have been driven down significantly due to competition among local Chinese car rental businesses [2][3]. - A price war has emerged, with some car rental quotes dropping to as low as 300 NZD per day, leading to confusion among potential customers regarding fair pricing [2][4]. Group 3: Market Challenges - The influx of tourists post-pandemic has led to aggressive expansion by car rental businesses, but the subsequent slowdown in tourism growth has left many vehicles underutilized, resulting in financial losses [9][10]. - The rise of unlicensed "black cars," often operated by Chinese students, has further exacerbated the price competition, as these services can offer significantly lower rates due to lower operational costs [11][12]. Group 4: Changing Customer Demographics - The profile of Chinese tourists visiting New Zealand has shifted, with an increase in budget-conscious travelers who prioritize price over luxury, impacting the demand for high-end car rental services [15][16]. - Tourists are increasingly negotiating prices, leading to longer discussions and a more competitive environment for car rental businesses [16]. Group 5: Sales Channel Evolution - Traditional sales channels for car rentals have been disrupted by the rise of social media marketing, where new players can attract customers with low prices, further pressuring established car rental companies [18][20]. - These social media sellers often negotiate prices down to 20-30% of standard rates, leaving local car rental businesses to handle the operational aspects while absorbing the financial strain [20][21]. Group 6: Industry Recommendations - There is a call for the establishment of a pricing guideline and industry standards to protect legitimate car rental businesses and ensure safety for tourists [24][26]. - Emphasis is placed on the importance of verifying the credentials of car rental services to ensure safety and accountability for tourists [24][25].
