Cross Border

To be updated

Cross Islands

Conditional:

Towards any New Zealand islands, taking rental cars crossing islands is allowed with certain conditions.

Multi-island travel is still possible by making two separate bookings for the whole journey, one for each island. Single bookings that include rentals on both islands is no longer possible. STARTING ON ONE ISLAND, ENDING ON THE OTHER： Make your booking from where you plan to begin and end your journey. Please provide the details of when you plan to cross between the islands in the comments section of your booking including ferry date and time, without this information we are unable to guarantee a vehicle will be available for you. Book your ferry crossing early and check your rental agreement, if your cross-over date has changed call rental company 5 days before your ferry. If we are not advised of changes, we cannot guarantee a vehicle will be available. Vehicles must be returned to the original rental Island and we will charge a relocation fee of up to $1000 NZD + GST if this does not occur. The rental process remains the same if your rental involves travelling on both islands but starting and ending on the same. Please note you will be liable for the ferry cross over costs.

Ferry Transportation: Allowed

Hertz allows you to bring the rental vehicle on the ferry. However ferry companies may charge you to bring a vehicle across Cook Strait.

Picking up the car at the dock incurs an additional fee of about 50 NZD compared to picking it up at the store.

I booked a Ford Falcon, but possibly due to lack of availability, I got a Toyota RAV4 for about the same price. It had 8,000 kilometers on it but the overall condition was mediocre and the engine was quite loud. Overall, I'm reasonably satisfied.

Hertz is relatively more expensive compared to other companies, but QEEQ offers a pretty decent price. The car was quite new and the return process was very convenient.

At the car rental point in Picton, a ship had just arrived, and I had to wait in line for half an hour at the office door. Two elderly ladies were working, and they were very friendly. When it was my turn, I had prepared all the necessary documents in advance; they reviewed them, swiftly printed the contract, and handed over the keys. The parking lot is about a 2-minute drive from the port office. One of the ladies, worried I might not find the car, accompanied me to the parking lot. There were no upsells at the counter; they just asked if I needed to return the car with an empty tank. They informed me the gas price was 2.5 per liter and assured me that full insurance covered everything, advising me to drive carefully and not to worry. On the way to the parking lot, she kept reminding me to drive on the left, not to speed, and to practice driving in the lot before hitting the road. She even came out to check on me while I was practicing to see if I needed any help. I am very grateful to her. A true exemplary employee of Hertz.
