One Way Rentals
For even greater convenience and flexibility, one-way
rentals are available on most vehicle groups between most
Thrifty locations in the same island. Some restrictions may
apply during peak periods.
A minimum hire of 3 days applies to one way rental
sectors. If a client requests a one way rental sector of less
than 3 days, a 3-day charge will still apply. In addition, all
one way hires of less than 5 days will incur a one way fee
of NZD$57.50 including GST payable direct by the client
at the time of pickup.
Ferry Crossings between Islands
We will meet pre-booked clients arriving off scheduled
ferry services between the hours of 0800 (8:00am) and
1800 (6:00pm) only. Reservations for pick-up outside
these hours are on a ‘request’ basis only and an additional
fee of NZD$46.00 including GST may apply. This fee will
be payable direct to Thrifty by the renter at the time of
collecting the vehicle.
Payment
Thrifty accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and
Diners Club cards. The credit/charge card must be in the
name of the authorised renter. Third party credit/charge
cards are not acceptable. Please note Thrifty will charge a
transaction fee of 2% + GST for all amounts transacted
on a credit card.
Refund Policy
Where the client returns early and there remains an
unused rental period of the rental, Thrifty will only charge
for the actual days the client had the vehicle(s) at the rate
applicable for the actual length of hire used.
Rental Period
Rates are based on a minimum rental period of one day
(24 hours from the time the rental starts). At Thrifty we
allow a 59 minute grace period, after which an extra full
day will be charged.
Renter Qualification
The minimum rental age is 21 years. All intending drivers
must present a valid full national driving licence, which has
been held for at least one year. A current international
driving licence or official translation must accompany
driving licences issued in a language other than English.
There is an extra charge for additional drivers see
above for more details. Minimum rental age and other
requirements for additional drivers will be the same as
for the renter.

Driver Surcharge” under our FAQs.
