Wellington (North Island) Car Rentals by Hertz

For All of Your Wellington Car Rental Needs

 

Whether you’re going on a weekend getaway, entertaining business associates, require a larger car, or your car is in the shop for repairs - choose Hertz for your Wellington car rental needs. 

 

Hertz has a large variety of hire cars from economy to luxury, convertibles to passenger vans.  If it’s the stunning harbour, boutique shops and vibrant nightlife you want to experience in this great cosmopolitan city, Hertz will have the right vehicle to suit you car rental needs.


If you wish to travel across the Cook Strait to Picton, in the South Island, Hertz will have the right vehicle to suit you car rental needs when you reach Picton. Note: Hertz vehicles cannot be taken across the Cook Strait.  A regular inter-island ferry service connects the North and South Islands. Hertz has locations on the main ferry wharf at both Wellington and Picton.

 

You will need to leave your vehicle at Hertz Wellington and collect another vehicle once you have crossed the Cook Strait. This will eliminate the cost of ferrying your vehicle since you do not need to worry about transporting it between the Islands.

Only one Hertz booking is required for standard vehicles (economy manual, compact manual, compact auto, intermediate auto, fullsize auto car and premium wagon AWD* car classes) if you plan to travel between islands. You must advise the Hertz branch of your travel intentions when you pick up your vehicle or call Hertz on 0800 501 301, at least 48 hours before you cross the Cook Strait. Our staff will remind you of the procedures you should follow at that time. Unfortunately if we are not advised, we cannot guarantee a vehicle will be available. A substantial fee applies to rentals where a vehicle is returned on a different island to where it was collected.
 
*This policy applies to premium wagon AWD's booked on a specific rate code only, otherwise one booking per island must be made.  Please check eligibility with reservations staff.
 
For special vehicle classes (premium wagon AWD, midsize 4WD, luxury 8 seater, luxury sedan and premium 4WD car classes), one booking per island must be made. If you are trying to make one booking to cover both islands for a special vehicle class, you will get an error message saying 'no rate applies' or 'vehicle not available'. In this instance you will need to make separate bookings per island.
 
The first rental must be a minimum of 3 days.
The second rental must start within 5 hours of the first rental finishing.
A Ferry Terminal fee of NZ$35.00 plus GST will be included for second island.

With airport and off airport (downtown) rental car locations all over the North Island and the South Island, chances are there's one conveniently located in your city, town or suburb.
