Dunedin Airport in early winter: King's Birthday road trip prices
Early June at Dunedin Airport brings low winter sun, cold air drifting off the Otago Peninsula, and travellers pulling on beanies at the terminal doors. The King's Birthday long weekend starts on Monday 1 June, and plenty of people use it to push on to the Catlins, the Otago Peninsula or the inland lakes. We looked at 28 listings for 1 to 8 June (7 nights), and there's a wide choice for Dunedin Airport car rental. If you're after car hire in Dunedin Airport for this week, the prices below are a good place to start.
Hertz sits at the expensive end, averaging $1257.49 across ten listings, while GO Rentals averages $447.48 and Ezi $418.08. The cheapest quote is $268.80 for the Mitsubishi ASX from GO Rentals, and the median across all listings is $815.72. Smart bookers compare the same category across suppliers first, because the same size of car can cost several times more depending on who is renting it out.
Most cars here seat five, so check the boot space if you're travelling with big bags and ski gear. If you're heading inland on frosty mornings, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid AWD from Ezi ($436.75) gives you extra grip. If you're sticking to the coast roads, a Suzuki Swift Hybrid at $301.70 will do the job and sip fuel. Collect your car in daylight if you can, because winter dusk arrives early and the roads out of the airport can be slick.
