The summer sun is beating down on the tarmac at Wellington International Airport, with late December bringing warm coastal breezes and long evenings perfect for a Kiwi road trip. Families and backpackers are queuing at the terminal gates, all eager to hit the road and explore the North Island over the extended New Year period.

Alamo is the sole supplier with vehicles available for this ten-day stretch, offering eleven listings in total. Prices start at a very reasonable $2091 for an Economy runabout and climb to $3377 for a full-size SUV. Smart bookers will scan the cheaper end of the scale, where Compact and Intermediate vehicles hover around the $2133 to $2282 mark, keeping your holiday budget firmly in check.
Every vehicle on the list seats five people, and the fleet is overwhelmingly standard petrol, so filling up at the pump will be a breeze. If you want to save on fuel costs over the ten days, you might want to request one of the three available hybrids. Pack light to ensure your luggage fits comfortably in the smaller boot of an Economy car, and try to swing by the depot early in the morning to beat the afternoon holiday rush.
