Hiring a Car in Nelson: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in Nelson

Check for Free Cancellation Policies

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.
Look for flexible cancellation options

Fuel Policies: Full-to-Full vs. Same-to-Same

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.

Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.
