Thread: Reasonable Rental Car in NZ?

Not sure why I'm not getting thread posting notifications on this thread, but maybe it's cuz I'm not a local? Anyway, sorry for the lack of response.

I can't change the itinerary, as I got it on a "Cyber Monday" deal, if u guys know what that is. Although, $3K for 2 ppl hardly feels like a 'deal'.
I'd love to visit NZ for several weeks a year, so can you move the islands a little closer? Thanks.

I'm going to go through each one of these, and see where the best option lies. At this point, I'm thinking about catching a flight to Christchurch a few hours after we land at AKL. The price for a rental is about half, using CHC as opposed to AKL. Gonna see what wifey is open to.

After I look at the prices on the sites you've suggested, I'll make a decision, and appreciate all the input. Maybe we'll experience the north island on the next visit. This is an ambitious itinerary, so I expected some premium, just not the $1,400 for 12 days for a micro car that won't fit all my hunting gear. Plus, I feel kinda sketchy (dodgy) carting all my shit around a bunch of different places that I've not been to before.

I will research and get back.

Thank you for all the help,
D!
