Cross Border

To be updated

Cross Islands

Conditional:

Towards any New Zealand islands, taking rental cars crossing islands is allowed with certain conditions.

Europcar vehicles are not permitted to travel on the ferry. For this reason we operate the inter-island travel service, whereby, the car is left at one ferry terminal and another car is waiting for you at the ferry terminal on the other island. Europcar only allows customers to exchange their vehicle once for cross-island travel，and does not support multiple vehicle exchanges between islands. Please contact Europcar no later than 5 days prior to your ferry crossing.Email: info@europcar.co.nz

Ferry Transportation: Not Allowed

Europcar does not allow to bring the rental vehicle to ferry. You will drop off your car at one port and collect another after crossing to the other island. A minimum of 3 days consecutive rental required in each island (If the minimum length of rental requirement is not met, then the rental will be charged as two separate hires.).

Incorrect charges! Credit card charges were made without the cardholder's consent! They promised that the insurance would cover everything, but we didn't actually encounter any accidents or issues! It's a scam! And we still haven't received a detailed breakdown of the charges!

I rented a 12-seat Toyota Hiace but was given a Hyundai iMax instead, which was very cramped and made for a poor experience. The rental cost for the Toyota Hiace was about 12,000 yuan, while the Hyundai iMax cost around 5,000 yuan, a difference of approximately 6,500 to 7,000 yuan. It felt like a rip-off. My complaint didn't result in any reasonable compensation. It was a very unsatisfactory rental experience.
