It was such an easy thing to do and our car was waiting for us at Dunedin airport when we landed, clean and in fabulous condition.

- I've rented cars from this company several times and have always found them very good to deal with. I believe they changed ownership earlier in the year and the prices briefly went up, but they seem to have become more reasonable again, so they're back to being my favourite car hire company. When we had weather-related travel issues, they were very amenable to changing our hire at short notice, which we appreciated. Recommended.read moreread lessSadie Coe9/21/2024I have used NZ Rent A Car several times and will continue to do so each time I visit Dunedin.

- Just want to thank NZ Rent a Car for a great service and a great car. We had a Corolla Hybrid and around Christchurch it was perfect, so good on fuel, would definitely hire another hybrid in the future.

Big thanks to the Christchurch team.read moreread lessCarl Faumui2/18/2024
- Such a great company. I got a blown tire within my first hour of renting the car and the company could not have been nicer. They explained that the Jack was under the passenger seat and I was able to put the spare on drive it back to the shop where they immediately gave me another rental. Cannot express how professional and courteous they were and was even given advice to where to pick up a good and cheap cell phone for while I was in town.

- Vici Woodward 1 year ago Craig was fantastic and set me up with a few cars over various periods. Pick up and drop off arrangements were always flexible and extremely helpful (if you are hiring a car it generally means you need assistance getting around). Cars were great value, clean and appeared well maintained for hire cars. I have recommended this company to colleagues and friends. Thanks again Craig!read moreread lessCraig Sutherland11/13/2022Very cheap and very cheerful. I rented a 2008 Nissan Tiida for the almost unheard of price of NZD$19 a day. A really willing and well maintained car which was more than adequate for the 1300km we did in five days around Northland. The staff at Auckland went well above and beyond when my sister left her phone in the car. They happily dropped it back to us at the airport not long after we let them know.read moreread lessAndrew P10/24/2022
- Fabulous service, great communication and cheaper than any other quote. Great check in process which is done ahead of time so no waiting in lines or paperwork to do. Special shout out to our driver who picked us up from the airport and was so friendly and efficient, and to Raewyn who was great and dropped us at the airport and made everything so smooth and easy travelling with two toddlers. These people know how to look after their customers. Will be recommending to everyone.read moreread lessJessica D'Audney9/26/2022Amazing service! They offered to deliver the car to our Airbnb in Māori Hill, and we dropped off the car at the airport.

Thanks Debbie 😊read moreread lessWillexia Sturgess8/28/2022
- This is my go-to rental place. They've got some of the best prices in Auckland's North Shore for cars. We also just used one of their moving trucks and they definitely had the best prices for trucks. Plus you get 100km free with your truck rental. The staff is also really friendly which makes this place even better. When we pulled the truck back onto their lot (in the downpour rain) they met us at the truck with an umbrella to try to keep us dry. Would give 10 stars if I could!read moreread lessEric Judd8/07/2022

Thank you team!read moreread lessCMA Vakauku5/19/2022
- This was our first interaction with this car rental company based in Dunedin. Easily it was one of the best experience we have had so far with a car rental company - and we travel a lot and hire a lot of cars in different locations, and so are able to compare.Craig - the person in charge of this set up, is totally customer focussed. He is friendly and does not hesitate to go out of his way to meet a customer's requirements. For example we were travelling to Dunedin for the first time and so casually enquired with Craig about the best way to reach the car yard. It was a surprise to hear him offer to hand over the car at our hotel. Not only that - he even arranged to collect the car from our hotel at the end of the rental without charging anything extra.The car provided was clean and in very good condition.It was a very different and pleasant experience dealing with Craig, and this car rental outlet.read moreread lessKrish Haldar5/19/2022Wonderful service from before we arrived up until the airport drop-off on the way home. For the price point — which ended up being 50% less than competitors — we were willing to lose out on customer service. However, this was not the case. They looked after us and made everything seamless with our rental experience. We will definitely be using this company in the future!read moreread lessAlex Zorn4/20/2022
- Very friendly people. They were always helpful on the phone while booking. Picked us in time from airport and took us to their shop. Car was already waiting there for us. Very clean car. Very professional. No time waste. No hidden cost. Owner Paul is a good man and his wife Jo in the office is a lovely person.There was a problem in the car they gave me. They didnt know about it bcoz that problem only could be felt when driving on hills. I went back and told Paul about it. He helped me straight away. Gave me another similar car without any question asked.Very happy from the service.

- We have been living in NZ for two years now and have taken several vacations with car rentals. Of these, we have used the services of NZ Rent A Car twice: in Dunedin and in Queenstown. In both instances the price was great, we were happy with the cars, but even more so we were impressed with the service. Nowhere else was the process in the office so quick and painless; it virtually took 2 minutes to get our car. In Queenstown, the shuttle service from the airport, which drives you to the office in 3 minutes, was already waiting as we came out of the terminal, so we didn’t have to wait a minute.

I looked at my paperwork and found the excess to be $2000 (I didn't pay the extra to reduce this). Luckily, NZ Rent a Car looked at the photos of the damage and told me it would only be $1500, not $2000. This was good news, I have come to expect car rental places to just charge the full amount.Later, NZ Rent a Car told me that the price actually came in under the $1500 quote and they refunded me more than $400.Great customer service, even after I returned the car.A brilliant company to do business with.read moreread lessPaul Henry7/12/2017Excellent service and car!My family came over to NZ for a visit and I decided to bring them to South Island to see all the amazing towns and cities down south.

Thanks James! We would definitely book again.read moreread lessDaniel Mcclean9/12/2020
- We had a fantastic experience booking through NZ Rent a Car Queenstown. The booking system is easy and they have a wide selection of vehicles to accommodate most peoples needs. The service from the team in Queenstown was excellent right from our airport pickup, to the drop off back to the airport. The car was well maintained, and nice and clean. The team also went out of their way to assist when we had left a personal item behind and arranged for this to be posted to us. Thanks to Paul and Jo for providing a fantastic personable service.read moreread lessRussell Simpson8/12/2020
- Went over school holidays, but the business didn't seem to affect the service any. Lot is off-site from airport which probably keeps the prices so much lower.Staff was efficient and helpful, and we quickly had our car. The car itself was in great shape and served us well, even an extended trip to Dunedin.Return was also quick and straightforward.read moreread lessScott Schieber8/12/2020
- Our private car packed a sad so off to Toyota it went. We rented a car from NZRentACar, got ourselves into a pickle well away from home and Kerrin and Al came to the rescue and got us sorted - even though that meant working outside their usual hours. They went the extra mile when they really didn't have to. From Megan & Clark: "Thanks heaps!"How do we give them 6 stars? 🙂read moreread lessClark Mills7/13/2020
- I was really impressed with every part of our customer experience. Really friendly helpful people. Prices excellent, car was better than expected. Got shown how to put the snow chains on and it was really freezing outside but the guy was happy to lie on the frozen ground and show me how they worked. Drop off was a cinch, in fact the whole experience made me want to make sure I use them next time we go to queenstown. Awesome customer experience!read moreread lessAmanda Tooker7/13/2020

- I've used this company twice now and would recommend wholeheartedly. I was picked up and dropped off at Christchurch airport promptly both times. I felt they went out of their way to accomodate me. Both times the vehicles were more than satisfactory to my needs. I was given wonderful personal care at all times.read moreread lessLiza Taylor7/12/2020
- Good experience. Made a phone enquiry after my booking and all sorted prior to car pickup. they came to collect me from airport within 2 minutes of getting outside. Upon arrival at their off airport but closely located office, they checked my DL details etc. against my web site booking and all sorted. Upon return of the vehicle, I explained I didn't have time to fill the tank before returning. No problem was their reply, we can call in and fill up on the way back to the airport. (That saved me a $30 fee). Would happily use these people / company again. All good.read moreread lessDavid Milson7/12/2020
- I am so glad I found James & Victoria at New Zealand Rent A Car and their excellent staff, Emma and the others I have meet on the many occasions. I visit Christchurch sometimes 3 times a year, to check on my parents and always use this business. Nothing but praise for the way I get looked after. I estimate I have had 15 cars from N.Z. Rent a Car. Prompt Pick up, smiling faces, Air Park arranged for midnight flight arrivals sometimes. I always get dropped back to the Airport for Departure. Well done you guys.Great range of Vehicles available for every budget. Thankyou for looking after me. Bob Grant. QLD Australiaread moreread lessRobert Grant7/12/2020
- We have used this company several times over last couple of years hiring a small car. Found them very reliable, and apart from a small locking problem ( which was dealt with promptly) we have not had any other problems. Highly recommend this friendly company.read moreread lessMicheal McKee7/12/2020
