SPECIAL OFFERS
RELOCATION SPECIAL
Visitors to New Zealand always seem to hire cars in a north to south direction resulting in a surplus of vehicles in the southern depots. Trailfinders are pleased to offer special discounted prices on rentals going in the other direction and no one way fee. These prices are valid for travel from Christchurch to Picton and Wellington to Auckland only; please ask for details. Valid 1 Nov 10 - 31 Mar 11.
FREE ONE WAY HIRES
Avis offer free one way hires between all locations in New Zealand for rentals of 7 days or more.
Offers are non-combinable, subject to availability & restrictions apply.
MULTI-ISLAND HIRE
Visiting both islands as part of a single hire involves using a different car on each
island, with cars being picked up/dropped off at either Picton or Wellington ferry
terminals and clients travelling by ferry as foot passengers. The minimum hire period
is 3 days per island, except for one way itineraries which is 5 days per island for car groups F - W.
Prices will be classed as one continuous hire as long as the second car is picked up
within 5 hours. Prior notice of 10 days must be given to Avis for this change-over
service. Continuous hire is also allowed between Rotorua and Christchurch (and vice
versa) if you wish to fly between the two.
