Dunedin Airport car rental rates for an autumn escape
Late September brings a crisp, bright light to the Otago coast, perfect for wandering the steep streets of Dunedin before the summer crowds arrive. The air is fresh off the Southern Ocean, and the lupins are just beginning to wake up along the Otago Peninsula. Securing a Dunedin Airport car rental right now is the smartest move for a spontaneous Mid-Autumn Festival getaway.
With 29 vehicles on the lot for this seven day window, suppliers are eager to get cars moving. Ezi offers the most consistent budget options, while Hertz plays firmly at the top end. A smart booker grabs that $316.47 Mystery Car from Europcar early, or targets the fuel-sipping Toyota Corolla Hybrid from Ezi to save cash for Bluff oysters instead.
Five seats rule this fleet, so pack light if you are traveling in a group of four. Hybrid options are plentiful, which is fantastic news for navigating the winding harbour roads efficiently. Grab your keys quickly and head straight to Baldwin Street before the late afternoon shadows stretch across the world's steepest incline.
