FAQ's

A long-term car rental refers to renting a vehicle for an extended period of time (minimum 14 days) to take advantage of the flexibility and cost-effectiveness on offer.

Renting long-term can be a flexible alternative to buying a cheap, potentially unreliable car for your time here in NZ. We take care of insurance, a Certificate of Fitness, registration and maintenance costs to give you the peace of mind you deserve.

Our minimum rental duration is 14 days. For shorter term rentals, please check out our sister brand Mode Rentals.

We offer the option to reduce your hirer liability limit from our standard $1,200 to $600 (fees apply).

Yes, our vehicles include full comprehensive insurance. 

Our standard Hirer Liability Limit is $1,200 and this can optionally be reduced to $600 upon payment of the related fees.

To rent a car long-term, we will need a valid driver licence—either a NZ Driver Licence or an approved International Driver Licence, and a credit or debit card for payment in the name of the driver.

All international drivers’ licence that are accepted in NZ and meet the criteria as stipulated by the NZTA will be acceptable. Click on this link NZTA for more information.

• For bookings longer than 56 days, ongoing payments will be processed in 56-day instalments, with the next payment taken two weeks after your rental begins, and then every 56 days thereafter.

Please note: Deposits are 100% refundable if the booking is cancelled at least 7 days before your pick-up date.
