New Zealand Rent A Car began in 1991 and has grown from 10 offices into a network of 10 branches throughout New Zealand, from Auckland in the North Island to the south in Dunedin. We are the largest multi-depot off-airport car rental company in NZ.

Our focus is on providing a friendly, personal service and safe, clean, economical car rentals at affordable prices.

We have over 1,000 rental vehicles from small hatchback cars to 12 seater minibuses, and at some branches, specialist vehicles including sports cars, furniture trucks, and a range of 4 wheel drive vehicles. Most branches have budget backpacker vehicles available for longer term hires at excellent rates.

We offer a courtesy pick-up service at all main airports, railway stations, bus depots and accommodation within 5kms of our car rental depots.

We are also members of the Rental Vehicle Association, which imposes a strict code of conduct for all members.
