Who we are
Kia ora! We’re Mode Rentals—your locally owned, proudly independent Kiwi car rental company, with five branches across Aotearoa. From bustling Auckland to laid-back Queenstown, we’re here to help you explore every corner of this beautiful country, your way.
At Mode, we’re all about making travel easy, affordable, and actually enjoyable (imagine that!). Whether you're road-tripping with mates, heading off on a family getaway, or just need a reliable ride, we've got the wheels—and the know-how—to get you there.
Why choose Mode?
We’re not some big overseas franchise. We’re born and bred here, with a diverse team that brings a mix of global experience and deep local knowledge to everything we do. We love New Zealand—every winding road, every hidden hot pool, every tucked-away pie shop—and we want you to love it too.
With a fleet of over 800 vehicles nationwide, flexible pick-up and drop-off options, and parking at most branches (thanks to our sister brand at Parking Mode), we’ve thought about the little things that make your journey smoother.
But it’s more than just getting from A to B.
We’re here to be your travel sidekick—offering insider tips, local advice, and a few unexpected surprises along the way. Think: friendly chats at check-in, a QR code packed with road trip inspo, and a customer care team that genuinely cares.
What we stand for
We live by our values:
Trust. Reliability. Affordability. Transparency. Genuine relationships.
We’re all about building connections and creating good vibes from the moment you book to the moment you hand the keys back. Our service is friendly, efficient, and consistent—and always with your safety and comfort in mind.
The Mode Difference
We reckon it’s the little touches that set us apart. The stuff that makes you say,
"Didn’t expect that from a car rental company!"
It’s the friendly team that remembers your name.
It’s the road trip playlists we share just because.
It’s the no-fuss booking, the clean-as cars, the local tips that make your trip.
That’s the Mode way.
So wherever you’re heading—beach, bach, bush, or beyond—we’re stoked to be part of your adventure.
Mode Rentals. Trusted by travellers. Loved by locals.
