Cars

SUV rental and ute hire, compact models and family-size vehicles – we've got the car rental options you need here at Avis New Zealand. Choose the car you want to rent from our Christchurch, Auckland, Queenstown or Tauranga locations or from any of our other branches across the country.

Utes, Vans, Trucks and Buses

Our car rental options are great, but sometimes you need a bit more space, power and capability. Our ute, van, truck and bus rental options provide great commercial rental choices.. With Avis New Zealand, you get to where you need to be, in the vehicle that best suits your situation.

Rent A Car or Truck From Avis New Zealand

When you choose Avis New Zealand, you connect with 35 car rental locations across the whole country, covering both the North and South Islands. Whether you are in Kerikeri, Invercargill, or somewhere in between, you'll find a location close to you, as we serve all of NZ's major cities and many of New Zealand’s airports.

At these locations, you'll find a reliable fleet of vehicles in a range of sizes, from the more compact and economical vehicle hire options to larger sedans and SUVs, and electric vehicles, or EVs, for those who prefer them. We accommodate all needs and can even offer ute hire and commercial van rental if required. A range of car hire offers to help you to find what you need at the right rate, while our Avis Preferred program and intuitive mobile app give you a streamlined experience from start to finish.

Avis achieves the esteemed title of 'The Most Trusted Brand in Car Rentals' in both Australia and New Zealand for 2024, building upon our accolades from the previous year. This prestigious award symbolises the unwavering trust our customers place in our brand.
