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.

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 long-term rentals, we have a fair usage cap of 48,000km per year. For shorter-term rentals, there is unlimited mileage.

We hand-pick quality cars known for their sturdiness and lack of issues. However, sometimes issues occur so we offer 24/7 roadside assistance via New Zealand Roadside Assistance (NZRA). Simply call the NZRA service number provided when you pick up your rental car.

A deposit equal to the first 28 days’ rental (plus any additional fees, such as liability reduction) is required at the time of booking. For hires longer than 28 days, payment for the next month will be processed 2 weeks before the following hire period begins.

If you’re booking for less than 28 days, full payment is required at the time of booking. The bond is payable upon pick-up.

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

Before the hire starts, you may cancel up to 7 days prior to the start date. If you cancel within 7 days of the booked collection date, a cancellation fee of $250 will be applicable.

During the hire, you will need to give us one month’s notice should you wish to return your vehicle early, and the regular rental rate will be payable for all of that notice period.
