Car Hire Auckland

Auckland is the most populated city in New Zealand, and for good reason, it is the gateway to stunning islands, pristine beaches, wine regions, ski regions and volcanic landscapes on the North Island. You will want to pick up an Auckland airport car rental and zip around the multicultural and vibrant Auckland city centre or start an epic New Zealand road trip straight away. With branches on the North and South islands, you could pick a drop-off location for your car hire in another airport terminal, making your Kiwi road trip stress-free and awesome.

At the core of Enterprise Rent-A-Car are the family values it was built on, and for any exciting trip in New Zealand, you can't get a better rental car than from a car hire company that treats you like family. Wherever you are arriving from in Auckland Airport, Enterprise have car rentals conveniently located with easy access from both domestic and international terminals, making it a smooth transition for you to go from plane to car hire.

Renting a car in New Zealand is worth it to experience the country’s natural beauty and hidden gems. While public transport and tour groups are available, they often miss the most scenic, rural destinations and lock you into a fixed schedule.

With a rental car, you're in control. Take the scenic route, stop at every breathtaking lookout and discover charming rural towns at your own pace. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, adrenaline-fueled adventures or narrow coastal roads, a car hire gives you the freedom to explore New Zealand like a Kiwi local.

We accept all major debit cards except for Maestro, Electron, Solo and pre-paid cards. To rent our 4x4s and premium vehicles, we require a credit card. All cards must have the main driver's name on them.

Our prices may vary because car rental prices are based on various factors such as vehicle size, seasonality, length of rental, vehicle make, availability and location. Customers are advised to start the booking process to determine the exact price.

You can modify or cancel your reservation via our website. If you prepaid your booking and you cancel 3 days or more before your specified pick-up time, you will receive a full refund of the total amount. You can also call your rental branch to extend your reservation. 

Yes, we can easily add an additional driver to your rental agreement for $5 per day per driver (capped at 6 days). The additional drivers must:

  1. Be 21 years of age or older.
  2. Present a full, valid driver’s licence in person at the rental counter. The licence must have been held for a minimum of 12 months. Any overseas or international driver's licences must be in English or have a NZTA-approved English translation.

In New Zealand, you do need insurance to hire a car, but you don’t need to organise it yourself. It’s compulsory for rental companies to provide insurance as part of their rental package. With Enterprise Rent-A-Car, all vehicles come with standard coverage for collision damage, so you are covered. The excess liability for this coverage depends on the vehicle (between $2,875 and $3,450 NZD), and you can reduce your excess for a fee per day.
