  • Great deal. I've posted to the OzB page for anyone travelling over. Weird that it says North Island but works for South

    • it works for random destinations heading north, ie Dunedin to Nelson/Picton, Queenstown to Christchurch, Christchurch to Nelson, Wellington to Auckland - I think that's all of the ones I found working.

  • How much was insurance?

  • Hey - I want to add that with these $2 rentals from Budget that come with 900 free km, you also get a free tank of fuel - you can return it empty.

    I know it's nowhere to be found but I've confirmed this with Budget a couple of times via email (do the same just to be sure!)

    Other rental companies don't include fuel unless stated.

  • With the $2 deal, i had to pay about $75 for excess reduction.

    Also in regards to petrol, how can i confirm that?

    • you can email them and ask

  • Is it really a good idea to buy the insurance excess reduction?

    • Its exactly the same thing as health insurance, you might not need it but when you do, its great.

    • buy domestic travel insurance instead.. it's cheaper and comes with rental car excess cover.

  • +2

    How do you know what dates have $1 options? Just spent the last 15 minutes guessing different dates! Frustrating

    • Pretty much any dates on most routes going north that are 48 hours or less but specifically Dunedin to Nelson/Picton, Queenstown to Christchurch, Christchurch to Nelson, Wellington to Auckland

  • There’s also https://www.transfercar.co.nz/ and a few others around.
