New Plymouth Airport has a single passenger terminal serving domestic flights only.
At New Plymouth Airport, you will find the on-airport hire car desks located in the terminal, near the baggage claim.
The on-airport hire cars are parked just outside the airport terminal.
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.
To return your on-airport hire car, follow the signs and park in the rental car park area at New Plymouth Airport — it is just outside the terminal. Return your keys to the desk, and if the desk is unattended, or for after-hours returns, place the keys in the drop box located at the counter.
