Picking 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 orientation: Terminals

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

International and Domestic Terminal

Where are the on-airport hire car desks?

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

Where are the on-airport hire cars parked?

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.

What should I do if the car hire 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.

Where are the off-airport hire cars?

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.
