Cross Border

Cross Islands

Conditional:

Towards any New Zealand islands, taking rental cars crossing islands is allowed with certain conditions.

Multi-island travel is still possible by making two separate bookings for the whole journey, one for each island. Single bookings that include rentals on both islands is no longer possible. STARTING ON ONE ISLAND, ENDING ON THE OTHER： Make your booking from where you plan to begin and end your journey. Please provide the details of when you plan to cross between the islands in the comments section of your booking including ferry date and time, without this information we are unable to guarantee a vehicle will be available for you. Book your ferry crossing early and check your rental agreement, if your cross-over date has changed call rental company 5 days before your ferry. If we are not advised of changes, we cannot guarantee a vehicle will be available. Vehicles must be returned to the original rental Island and we will charge a relocation fee of up to $1000 NZD + GST if this does not occur. The rental process remains the same if your rental involves travelling on both islands but starting and ending on the same. Please note you will be liable for the ferry cross over costs.

Ferry Transportation: Allowed

Hertz allows you to bring the rental vehicle on the ferry. However ferry companies may charge you to bring a vehicle across Cook Strait.

When we returned the car, there happened to be a staff member patrolling the parking lot. They took the keys and said everything was okay, so we left. Important note: there was no joint inspection of the car! Two days later, we received an email notification of car damage and a hefty bill!

Although we had pre paid the collision damage waiver, Hertz advised this was not the case and charged for this again. They also denied that we had paid a deposit despite showing them the Qeeq receipt. When asked to see his screen I pointed out his own system showed a $200 deposit. The Hertz rep advised the Qeeq agreement was noting to do with them. Total agreed to paid via Qeeq $1,034.19 total charged by Hertz $1,219.94 on top of the $244.13 deposit paid. Accordingly total charged $1,464.07 against the agreed $1,034.19 an extra cost of $429.88!

Picking up the car was convenient. The staff asked if we wanted to buy a tank of fuel at a price lower than the market rate and return the car empty, which was a good deal. They also reminded us to use the fuel until it was very empty. Additionally, they provided us with maps.

Dealing with Hertz was very easy; just filled out a few forms and got the keys to pick up the car myself. There was no inspection. However, the car given to me wasn't great, it had over 50,000 kilometers on it, which is quite old for a rental car. The engine wasn't very powerful, and the air conditioning barely worked. I rented it for 16 days, mostly driving on mountain roads, and was constantly worried if it would hold up. Thankfully, there were no major problems. I rented cars three times in Australia and New Zealand, and this was the longest rental period, but the car was the oldest. The other two cars had only done a little over 1,000 kilometers and were in much better condition. Hertz is a big company; their cars should be better maintained. Returning the car was even easier; I just found the office, handed over the keys, and that was it. No inspection needed, probably because I had full insurance.

The management is considerate and fully trustworthy. The car was clean and tidy when picked up. Returning the car was at 5 AM; we just parked at Christchurch Airport (Hertz parking area) and left the keys at the unattended Hertz counter. It felt great to be trusted.
