Rental Car

Rental Car

Uplanit.com uses two rental car companies in New Zealand, Maui Rentals a division of New Zealand's biggest tourism leisure company Tourism Holdings and Budget Rent a Car.

For two people we recommend that the minimum size you should consider is the intermediate category, a Mitsubishi Lancer, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata or a similar sized car. In both the North and South Islands driving conditions are in the main easy, but there are times, for example crossing the Haast Pass or driving across the plateau of the Desert Road when the extra power of these size vehicles makes driving that much more relaxed and comfortable.

Your choice of car size is will be added to your Wish List and used in the suggested vacation itinerary we will be sending you.

Maui logo

Maui Rental Car operates a modern fleet of vehicles, from new to a maximum of 24 months old. Maui has the advantage when travelling between the North and South Islands of not requiring you change cars before boarding the inter-island ferry. This means no waiting in a queue to change your vehicle, un-packing and then re-packing before boarding.

Maui is endorsed by the quality assurance program Qualmark, backing up their commitment to delivering a superior product and experience. They have depots in Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown.
