Premium Location Surcharge
The premium location surcharge at Auckland International
Airport, Auckland Domestic Airport, Wellington Airport,
Christchurch Airport and Queenstown Airport locations is
$41.40 including GST. All other locations are $40.27.
Refund Policy
Effective for travel completed from 1 July 2013, all
reservations where a vehicle is returned early will not be
eligible for a refund for the un-used days.
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 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.
Please refer to “Underage Surcharge” and “Additional
Driver Surcharge” under our FAQs.
Restricted Roads
Driving any Thrifty vehicle on the following roads
is prohibited and constitutes a breach of the rental
agreement. Your client would be fully liable for any damage
to the Thrifty vehicle or Third party property occurring as
a result:
• North Island: Ninety-Mile Beach (Northland)
• South Island: Skippers Canyon Road (Queenstown)
Ski Racks/Snow Chains
Ski racks or Snow Chains are available to hire for $13.80/
day for 1-5 days, or $69 for 5 or more days. These rates
include GST. Any request to hire ski racks or snow
chains must be made at time of reservation. All charges
are payable by the renter at the Thrifty counter and are
subject to change.
As we carry all our ski/board racks and snow chains in the
South Island, these optional extras are not available for
North Island hires. Please note that racks cannot be fitted
to an ECAR – Toyota Yaris (or similar).
Please also note that vehicles are required to carry chains
when travelling on the Milford Road between May and
November.
Smoking Policy
Please note that Thrifty New Zealand has a non-smoking
policy for all vehicles. A $250 cleaning fee will apply.
