Free car rentals in New Zealand ( Relocation Deals )

1 September, 2008

Maybe it’s a well kept secret, maybe not, but it is possible to get free one way car rentals in New Zealand. Car rental companies sometimes have too many cars in one location and require them to be relocated. They give you free rental, and even pay for your ferry crossing if traveling between the North and South Islands. I used these free rentals a couple of months ago to travel from Dunedin to Auckland and back again. I got a free car from Dunedin to Christchurch, and from Christchurch to Auckland I got a 2007 4 berth camper van/motor home/RV. The motor home wasn’t free, I paid a token $5/day, but usually these are $120-$200/day so I’m not complaining.

Until now, if you wanted one of these deals you had to ring up all the car rental companies and ask if they had needed any cars relocated. But today a new site has launched which lists all these car rental relocation deals across New Zealand, http://www.transfercar.co.nz/. Enjoy!
