Safety
Your safety paramount, so it's important to know that you've chosen a trustworthy company with compliant, reliable machines that won't let you down. Before you depart we'll go through the NZ Road Rules with you, show you a safety video, answer questions, and of course there's the usual Rental Agreement to sign. We'll help you familiarise yourself with the vehicle until you are totally confident to go.
Hours of Business and Rental Period
Your Rental is based on a 24-hour period. For example (eg 9am to 9am). We're on call for assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you're never alone. Pick up and Drop-off hours are between 9am and 4.00pm Monday to Saturday. However we're a family business so we can be flexible and look forward to working with you on your requirements.
Seasons
High Season is December to March inclusive, the weather during this time is very reliable. Low Season is April through to November inclusive when you can take advantage of great rates but the weather is cooler but less traffic! In June, July and August please note there is a risk of some mountain pass closures due to snowfall.
Fuel
We will make sure you leave with a full tank of fuel and advise you on which type of fuel you should use to top up the tank. Please return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, we'll tell you where to go. Diesel fuel cars incur an extra NZD0.08 per KM of use due to NZ Diesel fuel tax charges.
