Cross Border

To be updated

Cross Islands

Conditional:

Towards any New Zealand islands, taking rental cars crossing islands is allowed with certain conditions.
Multi-island travel is still possible by making two separate bookings for the whole journey, one for each island. Single bookings that include rentals on both islands is no longer possible. STARTING ON ONE ISLAND, ENDING ON THE OTHER: Make your booking from where you plan to begin and end your journey. Please provide the details of when you plan to cross between the islands in the comments section of your booking including ferry date and time, without this information we are unable to guarantee a vehicle will be available for you. Book your ferry crossing early and check your rental agreement, if your cross-over date has changed call rental company 5 days before your ferry. If we are not advised of changes, we cannot guarantee a vehicle will be available. Vehicles must be returned to the original rental Island and we will charge a relocation fee of up to $1000 NZD + GST if this does not occur. The rental process remains the same if your rental involves travelling on both islands but starting and ending on the same. Please note you will be liable for the ferry cross over costs.

Ferry Transportation: Allowed

Thrifty allows you to bring the rental vehicle on the ferry. However ferry companies may charge you to bring a vehicle across Cook Strait.

    2 /10 Poor

    Reviewed: Sunday, November 3, 2024

    Very dissatisfied with Thrifty Car Rental's service. We had scheduled to pick up the car at 1:00 PM, but the staff kept us waiting with the excuse that the car was being cleaned. We finally got the keys at 2:47 PM, and it wasn't even the Toyota Highlander we had reserved; they gave us a SsangYong instead. We spent nearly two hours negotiating with the store, and the staff casually said we could return the car later. It was infuriating. The two-hour wait disrupted our travel plans. Why didn't they just be honest about not having the car available? We could have switched to another rental company and saved our time. Very disappointed with Thrifty's service. Small companies often have service issues. I hope others learn from this experience and choose their rental company wisely.
