Insurance

Insurance (included): Standard excess is$2,000
Our insurance policy is very simple; if you have an accident, you are required to pay a maximum of$2,000. This covers single vehicle or multiple vehicle accidents. Credit or debit card bond is required.

Zero Excess (optional):$17 per day or $350 per hire
Our insurance policy is very simple; if you have an accident, you are required to pay a maximum of$2,000. This covers single vehicle or multiple vehicle accidents. Credit or debit card bond is required.Credit or debit card bond is required. Zero excess covers the first accident only.

How we calculate the amount of days:

Pickup and Drop Off:
We calculate all hires on a Calendar Day Basis. You may pickup the vehicle anytime after 8 a.m, however you are required to drop off the vehicle by 5 p.m. on the final day of hire.

Type of Hire:

One Island or All of New Zealand
Travel within one island (North or South Island only) and we offer a cheaper rate. Select All of New Zealand if you would like to travel both islands.

Split Hire (multiple hire)
Hire one vehicle in the North Island and another vehicle in the South Island (or vice versa). Make your own way between the North and South Island at your own pace, or fly. You only need pay for the days you’re using the vehicle (we calculated the price as one hire). This means if you hire extras like outdoor table and chairs, a linen pack or choose the zero excess for insurance, you only pay once. You also save on the ferry crossing, receive any long term hire discounts and there is no one way fee. Minimum hire period for each island is seven days.

Road Restrictions

You can drive the vehicle on all public sealed and unsealed roads in New Zealand except for three roads – Ninety Mile Beach, Ball Hutt Road and Skippers Canyon.

a. Ninety mile beach (Far North)
Ninety mile beach is a registered road, accessible via Te Paki Stream. Six wheel drive buses provide daily tours along the beach and some even drive on the sand dunes. You are allowed to drive along the main highway to Cape Reinga and the light house, which is one of the northern most points of New Zealand. Bus trips along Ninety Mile Beach are available from Kaitia and the Bay of Islands.

b. Ball Hutt Road Road (Mt Cook)
This road goes travels up the side of New Zealand’s highest mount, Mount Cook. You can drive as far as the visitors centre.

c. Skippers Canyon Road (Queenstown)
This very steep, single lane road was hand carved (with the help of dynamite) in 1902; it took 20 years to complete. It was used during the gold rush days and is now home to AJ Hackett’s Pipeline Bungy Jump, Shotover Jet Boat Tours and Winky’s Gold Mining Museum. Daily tour buses can take you down into the Canyon.
