Late summer light and cheap rental cars Dunedin Airport
The February sun casts a golden hue over the Otago Harbour right into the evening, making it the absolute best time to point your wheels toward the Otago Peninsula or the Catlins. The summer holiday rush has well and truly settled, leaving behind dry sealed roads and quiet coastal highways perfect for a road trip. Locking in your Dunedin Airport car rental before you fly in means you can throw your bags in the boot and head straight out to catch the albatross flying over Taiaroa Head.
If you are hunting for cheap rental cars Dunedin Airport, you will find a market with a few surprises this week. Ezi offers the lowest average rates across their fleet, coming in at $1173, but a sharp-eyed booker can snag an absolute steal from Hertz. Their cheapest Economy option drops right down to $958, undercutting the median price by a fair margin.
The vehicle fleet here leans heavily toward standard petrol engines and five-seater layouts, which is plenty for cruising the dry, winding roads around the peninsula. If you want to save on fuel, grab a hybrid like the Toyota Corolla or the Ford Puma from Ezi while they last. Pack light so you can fit your gear into a smaller car, as the cheapest rentals always have the tightest boot space.
