Location information for New Zealand

New Zealand is best explored by rental car. HireCars.co.uk has over 101 pick-up locations in New Zealand. This means there is always a pick-up location close to your destination.

New Zealand is a traveller's dream, with two islands bursting with exciting adventures and activities. To maximise your visit to New Zealand, a rental car enables you to travel at your leisure and absorb the surroundings at your own pace.

You are never far from the coast in Auckland; this city nestled between two stunning bays enjoys its prime location. Its tallest building, the Sky Tower offers visitors a bird's eye view of the city.

Wellington also boasts a superb location overlooking the sea. After browsing the shops, enjoy dinner at one of Wellington's many restaurants or watch the sunset over the sandy Oriental Bay. The new, bold Te Papa museum allows visitors to experience the whole of New Zealand and is well worth a visit.

By cheap hire car in New Zealand, travel north to take in the Bay of Islands, where you can find the deserted Ninety Mile Beach and verdant Kauri forests.

The South Island offers visitors an equally impressive experience and exploring by hire car allows maximum enjoyment. The Marlborough Sounds will take your breath away and by following the remote west coast road you can see the Fox glaciers.

Queenstown offers a range of exciting activities that aren't for the faint hearted. Lake Wakitipu is nearby and the snow-capped Remarkables Range paint a dramatic backdrop for this lively tourist hub.

A few hours' drive by cheap hire car in New Zealand will lead you to Fiordland National Park, where you can experience a beautiful wilderness of mountains, ice and forests.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is HireCars.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
