Car Hire with NZZU

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 have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

If you need a vehicle for an extended period, NZZU offers discounts for long-term hires. This means you can save significantly on your car hire while enjoying the flexibility to explore your destination at your own pace.

Choose a pickup location that’s easy for you to access. Many rental firms have spots at airports for quick retrieval, while others might require shuttle transport.

Returning your hire car is hassle-free with NZZU. They provide clear return procedures and multiple options, ensuring a smooth end to your car hire experience, so you can focus on the next part of your journey without any stress.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Before making a rental, check if your personal auto insurance covers rental vehicles. Many policies and credit cards provide this protection, helping you save on extra insurance fees.
