Christchurch Airport and Queenstown Airport locations is

Refund Policy
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 official translation must accompany
driving licences issued in a language other than English.
There is an extra charge for additional drivers. 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 any beach or 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
• South Island: Tasman Valley Road
(Mount Cook National Park)
Ski Racks/Snow Chains
Ski racks or Snow Chains are available to hire for
NZD$13.80/day for 1-5 days, or NZD$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 legally 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 NZD$250 cleaning fee will apply.
