We take a refundable bond on all rentals which is $200 – $500 depending on the vehicle. This bond is refundable provided the vehicle is returned on time in the same condition as it went out.
The bond can be payable by cash, eftpos, or credit card.  We do not accept cheques.

If you return you vehicle earlier than expected then a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required before any refund applies.
We require at least 48 hours’ notice of cancellation. If you do not advise us that you wish to cancel your booking then we reserve the right to charge you a minimum 20% cancellation fee in the event of a cancelled booking of less than 48 hours without notice then a 100% cancelation fee will apply.

No, we don’t. When you pick up your car rental you can add as many drivers to the rental agreement without incurring any additional charges.

We have an arrangement with one of the leading Park and Ride services at Auckland airport allowing us to offer both pick up and drop off 24/7/365 … so no matter what time of the day or night you are arriving, even on Christmas Day. An additional charge applies for this service.
