Towards any New Zealand islands, taking rental cars is allowed and free of charge.

For rentals starting on one island and ending on the other, the below new process will apply. Two separate bookings will now be required Dollar has depots right on the main lnterislander Ferry terminal at Wellington and Picton. For rentals starting and ending on the same island, but travelling on both islands, please keep the same vehicle for the entire duration of the trip. Please keep in mind that the customer will need to pay for the vehicle on two ferry trips. A fee will be charged if the vehicle is not returned to the same island it was rented from. Hertz will assess a fee based on the actual cost of relocating the vehicle, up to a maximum of NZD$1,000, plus GST.

First, I rented cars from both Dollar and Thrifty on the North and South Islands of New Zealand. These companies share the counter with Hertz, essentially making them smaller subsidiaries. However, their cars are not as good as Hertz. When I booked the rental, I had requested a Toyota Prado, and both companies confirmed this. But upon arrival, neither had the Prado. Instead, they offered a Mitsubishi Pajero diesel. I noticed Hertz had Prados available on site. When I inquired, I was told they either didn't have Prados or had very few. It seems they use the Prado as a lure and then give you the Mitsubishi Pajero, claiming it's a similar class vehicle. However, in my country, these two cars are in entirely different classes. These companies attract you with the lower price of a Prado but end up giving you another car. If you specifically want a Prado, I suggest not choosing these two companies, as they probably don't have it. Note that in New Zealand, there is a road usage fee for diesel cars, which will be reflected in your final bill when you return the car.
