Car Hire with NZI

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.

Make use of GPS devices or mobile navigation apps to find your way easily. This can help you avoid getting lost and ensure a more seamless travel experience.

Before you drive off, inspect the rental car for any existing damage and ensure it's noted. Taking pictures can help avoid disputes upon return.

If your travel plans involve different pick-up and drop-off locations, NZI 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.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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.

If you plan to have another person drive, confirm if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are any additional fees. Some may provide complimentary additional drivers under certain conditions.

Before finalizing your booking, see if the rental agency offers free cancellation. This can be invaluable if your travel plans unexpectedly change.
