On hiring a car in Lower Hutt
Prices start at NZD $72 per day for a Compact SUV. Get a live rate for your planned dates and desired vehicle in Lower Hutt.
If you’ve got a crowd, but don’t need something as large as a bus, then a 7-seater or 8-seater Minivan hire might be your best option. A Minivan costs NZD $211 per day. Check for a live rate by entering your desired car hire dates in Lower Hutt.
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 Lower Hutt 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.
