Late summer road trips start with Dunedin Airport car hire
February light spills across the Taieri Plains as your flight rolls into Momona, casting a warm gold over the Otago Harbour. The Central Otago heat is peaking, making day trips down to the Catlins or up the coast perfectly comfortable. Securing your Dunedin Airport car rental right at the terminal is the fastest way to get your bags in the boot and chase that afternoon sunshine.
You have thirty-three vehicles to pick from on this February week, with the median price sitting at $1,271. Hertz currently holds the absolute cheapest ticket with a Suzuki Swift going for $958, while GO Rentals brings serious competition with lower averages on larger vehicles. Smart bookers will compare the Ezi and Hertz daily rates first, since they are fighting hard for the budget space right now.
The lot is heavy on standard five-seat petrol runners, which are plenty for zipping around the Otago Peninsula. If you plan to explore the high country or stock up on gear in Queenstown, grabbing a compact SUV like the Ford Puma Hybrid for $1,010 will save your back and your fuel bill. Watch your speed on the winding coastal roads, and try to swing by the depot before the afternoon rush hits the airport gates.
