Late Sunsets and Wellington Airport Car Hire for an Epic February Escape
,
You have 71 listings vying for your attention this week, but the supplier pricing spreads wide enough to require a sharp eye. Sixt throws down an impressive flat rate of $593.04 for a Toyota Corolla Hybrid, beating out Budget and Avis by a solid margin. Smart bookers check the aggregated brokers like Ezi, who currently hold the absolute cheapest ticket in the lot at $576.75, before jumping at the first mainstream counter they see.
Five-seat runabouts make up the vast majority of this airport fleet, which is perfect for couples or small families planning to snake their way up State Highway 1. Go for a hybrid if you plan to tackle the Remutaka Hill, as the regenerative braking saves a ton of fuel on those steep, winding descents into the Wairarapa. Keep your luggage reasonable, as the trunk space on the cheaper compact hatches fills up fast when you throw in a couple of large suitcases and a chilly bin full of local produce.
