Not sure where to pick up?

Every location has different costs, service hours, and availability — here's what to know.

See all pickup locations

Auckland Airport (AKL)

Biggest fleet, 24-hour service, and on-site depots. Expect airport surcharges — but the widest choice of vehicles.

See Auckland tips

Christchurch Airport (CHC)

South Island's main hub. Good availability year-round and generally more affordable than Queenstown.

See Christchurch tips

Queenstown Airport (ZQN)

Perfect for ski trips and the Southern Alps. Book early — limited fleet and high demand in winter season.
