If you want to rent a car in New Zealand you could spend a long time trawling the net looking at options and finish up totally confused.
Why?
Here's the problem: New Zealand car rental is unlike most other places in the world because the country is split into two islands with a sizeable stretch of water between.
Taking a car across Cook Strait is expensive. Some rental companies allow you to drop a vehicle in Wellington and collect another in Picton (or vice versa). Some don't. But then, sometimes it's more convenient just to roll-on roll-off the ferry without have to unpack and repack all your gear.
There are other complications.
Some charge for one way hires. Some don't. Some look really good until you check the fine print - the devil is always in the detail. Some hire older cars. Some hire only new models. Some charge an arm and a leg for additional insurance cover. Some don't. Then there are high season rates, shoulder season and winter rates (which are often not cheap because of ski travellers).
All of which means if you are trying to sort out car rental in New Zealand you may need a cup of tea and a lie down long before you've figured it all out.
And there's a fair chance you'll end up paying more than you need to.
Let me do your leg-work
So why not let me do all that for you? I've been 27 years in the rental car business, but I no longer rent out cars. For you that means I can shop around amongst the operators (there are scores of them - that's why I got out) and find the best solution for your needs. I know where to look and what to look out for.
This is not one of those automated sites that "guarantees the best rate" - yeah, right! I actually sit back and think about your request and the best operators to meet it. I contact them directly. They know me. They'll give me their best deal. That way I can give you honest, impartial advice on your best choices.
Fill out the quote request form and send it to me. I will then get you quotes from the operators best suited to your request. I'll then email the quotes to you so that you can choose the option you like best.
It really is all about you.
And feel free to ask for fresh alternatives, to ask questions, to seek advice. Let me be your on-the-front-line-advisor.
If you are happy with the quote I have given you go to the booking form. After filling that in you will be taken to a secure server to input your credit card details. Until I have those details the booking can not be confirmed. Before any charges are placed on your card I will advise you of the charges to be made. If you disagree we can talk about it.
