How do I pick up a rental car at Dunedin Airport?

There is one terminal and a range of on-site car rental brands to select from Dunedin Airport. See below for clear instructions on how to find Dunedin Airport’s car hire desks and where to pick up your rental car.

Dunedin Airport

  • International and Dunedin Terminal

    Dunedin International Airport has one terminal which serves both domestic and international flights. The airport is served by Air New Zealand and Jetstar.

Pick up instructions

  • Is your rental company desk on-airport or off-airport?

    All terminals

    On airport
    The Dunedin Airport hire car desks are conveniently located inside the airport’s terminal building, on the ground floor near the baggage claim.

  • Finalise your rental agreement and collect keys

    Once you are at the hire car company desk, you’ll need to finalise your rental agreement and collect your vehicle keys.

  • Head to the designated car park to pick up your car

    All terminals

    On airport
    The on-airport hire cars are parked outside the terminal in the car park, a short distance walk from the hire car desks in the terminal.
    Off airport
    If you booked with an off-airport provider, you’ll need to catch a shuttle transport to the car rental provider’s premises near the airport.

  • What should I do if the desk is unattended?

    Hopefully the car rental company has left a sign with instructions or a contact number. In this situation, use the number they have provided and let them know that you have arrived or follow the directions out to the car park where a rental attendant will help you.

    If there is no sign, check your booking confirmation email for a contact phone number.

    If you still have no luck finding assistance, contact us. Don’t be alarmed. It’s not unusual to see unmanned desks, and rest assured there’s usually someone who can help out in the car park where the rental cars are located.

    We'll be right back

Returning a hire car at Dunedin Airport

  • All terminals

    To return your on-airport hire car, park in the rental car park area at Dunedin Airport.

    Return your keys to the desk, and if the desk is unattended, place the keys in the drop box located at the counter.
