Relocation Cars

Relocation car deals are a win-win for both travellers and rental companies. When vehicles need to be moved between branches, let’s say between Queenstown and Auckland, special offers are provided for drivers willing to make the trip. For travellers, this means access to quality vehicles for a fraction of the usual cost. The main difference from standard rentals is that relocation deals are one-way, have set pick-up and drop-off locations, and usually need to be completed within a specific timeframe. It’s a fantastic way to explore new routes, save money, and help keep the rental fleet balanced across the country, all while enjoying the freedom of the open road.

Relocation car deals are designed to be accessible and flexible. Generally, anyone over 18 with a full, valid driver’s license can book, though some deals may have specific license conditions. Whether you’re a solo traveller, a couple, a family, or a group of friends, you’re welcome to apply. Just make sure you meet the basic requirements: a valid license (international licenses with English translations or IDPs also applicable), a credit or debit card for the security bond, and the ability to complete the trip within the specified timeframe.

One of the biggest perks of relocation car deals is the cost savings. Relocation car deals can start as low as $1 relocation fee along with low daily rates from $1.99. These can go up in price depending on the vehicle and trip specifics. Extras like insurance, tolls, and ferry crossings incur extra charges, so it’s important to read the fine print or get in contact with one of our friendly team members for additional information.

While relocation deals are designed for quick turnarounds, we know that sometimes you want to slow down and soak up the scenery. Adding additional days to your relocation rental may be applicable, depending on availability. Standard rental care hire rates may be applied for these extensions. Just let us know when you book or as soon as possible, and we’ll confirm availability and any additional costs.

Great question! For relocation routes that cross between the North and South Islands, Mode Rentals does not include the Interislander ferry ticket for your vehicle as part of the deal. In the case you are relocating a car between islands, you need to pay for your own passenger fare as stated on the relocation special listing. If you are travelling across the islands, we recommend booking the ferry far in advance as these can sell out, especially during busier summer periods.

Booking a relocation car with Mode Rentals is easy and hassle-free. Start by checking our website for available relocation deals. These are updated regularly, so it pays to check back often. Once you find a deal that suits your route and dates, simply follow the booking instructions online or contact our team directly. We’ll guide you through the process, confirm your eligibility, and answer any questions you have. To increase your chances, be flexible with your dates and consider alternative pick-up or drop-off locations.

To book a relocation car, you’ll need a full, valid driver’s license, international licenses are welcome, as long as they’re in English or accompanied by an official translation. Mode Rentals relocation deals come with unlimited kilometers, so you can explore without worrying about extra charges for distance. Whether fuel allowances are included in your relocation booking will vary between specific relocation car specials and will be outlined within the listing.

Insurance is an important part of any rental, and relocation deals are no exception. At Mode Rentals, we offer a range of insurance options to suit your comfort level, from basic cover to reduced-excess packages for extra peace of mind. We recommend taking a few minutes to inspect the vehicle before you hit the road, snap some photos or videos to document its condition, and let us know if you spot anything unusual. Our vehicles are regularly serviced and cleaned, but your pre-trip check helps ensure a smooth experience. And if you ever need help on the road, our 24/7 roadside assistance is just a call away.

Flexibility is key when it comes to relocation rentals. Mode Rentals offers convenient pick-up and drop-off locations across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown, making it easy to start and finish your journey where it suits you. Locations for relocation rentals are specifically set as the route for relocation is confirmed to move the fleet effectively. Pick-up and drop-off times are also usually set and shown at the time of booking, but if you need to adjust your plans, just get in touch as there may be options to extend based on availability.

Relocation car deals are a fantastic way to travel affordably, flexibly, and with a sense of adventure, perfect for spontaneous road trips, cross-country moves, or simply exploring more of Aotearoa. With Mode Rentals, you get the added bonus of local expertise, friendly support, and a commitment to making your journey easy and enjoyable. Remember, with great deals come a few responsibilities: stick to agreed timings, look after your vehicle, and keep us in the loop if plans change.
