Car Hire with Drive NZ

With Drive NZ, you can choose from a variety of insurance options to tailor your car hire experience. Select the coverage that best fits your needs, ensuring you have the protection required for peace of mind while driving.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

Hiring with Drive NZ often includes flexible cancellation policies, allowing you to change your plans without incurring penalties. This feature provides peace of mind, ensuring you can book your car hire confidently and adjust as needed.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

If your travel plans involve different pick-up and drop-off locations, Drive NZ offers convenient one-way hires. This flexibility allows you to explore without the hassle of returning to your original pick-up site, making your journey more enjoyable.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

If you’re sharing driving responsibilities, check the rules regarding additional drivers. Some agencies charge extra fees, while others might offer it for free under specific conditions.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
