Partners categorise similar models into “vehicle groups” and confirm availability on this basis. Our team are available to contact the depot on your behalf where you are picking up your vehicle to enquire what models are available under the vehicle group you booked. Please contact customer support for further information.

On hiring a car in Rotorua
Our data shows that Rotorua, along with other isolated cities in Australia, book out of rental cars during peak seasons (i.e., school holidays and major city events) because of the limited amount of rental cars available by providers in the area. We recommend always booking well in advance for this location.
The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Rotorua may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
Yes, just untick “Return to the same location” in our search form and select your preferred drop-off location. Be aware that this will incur a one-way fee to your booking, which will be included in the total cost.
