Benefits of Long-Term Car Rental vs Leasing
-
Cost Saving: Long-term car rentals are generally less expensive than leasing companies.
-
Flexible booking: Car rentals are infinitely easier to book.
-
No long-term commitment: Instead of signing an extended lease agreement, long-term car rentals have fewer obligations. Customers can simply return the car once the rental period is completed with minimal fuss.
-
Less paperwork: Car leasing often requires documentation like credit scores, insurance, and proof of income. In comparison, long-term rentals require, at most, a driver's license and a credit or debit card.
-
Cancellation policies: Customers who wish to terminate their car lease prematurely will have to pay high fees, sometimes even the full balance of the lease period. In comparison, long-term car rentals have less strict cancellation with a 30 day notice period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extend my long-term car rental if my plans change?
Yes, absolutely! Simply contact our team before your current rental period ends, and we’ll arrange to extend your agreement with updated billing. Please note that extensions are subject to vehicle availability and may reflect our seasonal pricing.
Am I allowed to switch vehicles during my rental period?
What documents do I need for business or corporate rentals?
For business car hire, you’ll need to provide a valid driver’s license—either a New Zealand Driver Licence or an approved International Driver Licence, and a credit or debit card for payment.
What is Zeal Rentals’ cancellation policy for long-term rentals?
You may cancel up to 7 days before the start date of your hire. 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 provide one month’s notice if you wish to return your vehicle early, and the standard rental rate will apply for the entire notice period.
