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.

I responsibly say that if you can rent a car directly through the car rental company, do not use third-party agents because it's a hassle. I used a car in Queenstown, New Zealand for 13 days. Initially, I wanted to rent directly, but Hertz told me on the phone that there were no cars available (I needed the car quite urgently). Later, I found that QEEQ could rent Hertz cars, so I placed an order through QEEQ and paid in full. I chose Hertz because of its high reliability, although the insurance is expensive, the cars are new, and there are few disputes. I ended up paying more through QEEQ, and while I did get a car, the process was very unpleasant. Here's the details: I bought Hertz’s full insurance with zero deductible through QEEQ. Having used Hertz in the US, I was quite sensitive about the insurance and called QEEQ to confirm if the full insurance was a Hertz package before paying, and was assured it was. But on the day I picked up the car in New Zealand, the Hertz staff told me the insurance I purchased only covered the car itself and third-party liability. I contacted QEEQ customer service on the spot, but couldn't get the issue resolved. The customer service told me to buy the insurance myself and solve the issue after I return the car. Since there were many people waiting to pick up cars, I had no choice but to buy the insurance. After returning to my country, I contacted after-sales to solve the issue, but was told that I misunderstood the insurance content and that the customer service gave me an accurate explanation without misleading me. So, in the end, I could only laugh bitterly. The basic logic is simple: once you spend the money, you're at a disadvantage. So, I seriously advise everyone not to rent cars through third parties. Book directly through the rental company’s website, it’s cheaper, the fees are clear, and any disputes can be resolved directly. I will never use QEEQ again. Very poor rating, especially for after-sales! They confuse the content to sell their insurance, it's impossible to give a good rating.

Overall, I give four stars. The reason I deducted one star is because they told me at the pickup store that the car of the same class was unavailable. Although they offered a free ride to the airport to get it, I declined due to time constraints and chose a lower class car. We negotiated a 50NZD discount on the one-way rental fee. Fortunately, the car had less than 20,000 kilometers and was very new.
