Do I need a valid international drivers license to rent a car in NZ

We have relationships with many garages and the AA throughout New Zealand. It doesn’t often happen but accidents do occur. We will get you going again as quickly as possible.

Is there extra insurance I can take out for personal accidents?

In New Zealand we have a government scheme called Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) that covers for your body for all visitors to our country in the event of an accident. It is not always a full cover so we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance incase it is needed.

Does our rental car come with a full tank of petrol

Yes absolutely. All our rental cars are hired full of petrol and so its best to return it full ready for the next person. Full means over the full line. We have a surcharge for the time to take it to a garage to fill it up.

What happens if I damage my rental car?

Upon return please tell our service staff. Your chosen held bond will be processed in full. Once the repair process is completed if the damage cost is less than your chosen excess amount we refund the difference to your credit card in full. You are charged the cost of repair plus a surcharge.
