Cross Border

To be updated

Cross Islands

Conditional:

Towards any New Zealand islands, taking rental cars crossing islands is allowed with certain conditions.
Ferry crossings are allowed. Cross-border travel must be declared to the branch 3+ days in advance; unauthorized travel breaches the contract and incurs penalties. Travel to restricted NZ areas (e.g., Ball Hutt Rd, Skippers Rd, Ninety Mile Beach, Te Paki Stream Bed, Macetown Rd, coast road to Russell, or unformed/gravel roads) voids cover and increases liability.

Ferry Transportation: Allowed

Alamo allows you to bring the rental vehicle on the ferry. However ferry companies may charge you to bring a vehicle across Cook Strait.

    Alamo felt really professional and well-run. Service was great, no hidden charges at all, and we got exactly the car we booked instead of being switched to some “similar model.” We chose to add full insurance ourselves. The lady at the counter was super energetic—when she heard we were on our honeymoon, she got really excited, explained all the important details very patiently, had us watch a safety video, and wished us an amazing trip. Picking up and returning the car was completely hassle-free.

    Pretty good, communication wasn't too difficult. During the rental period, they provided follow-up via phone and email with reminders. An additional driver cost $25 NZD per day. Returning the car was very convenient; I simply handed the key to the front desk staff and it was done. I booked a Toyota but got a Mitsubishi instead, which was easy to drive and relatively new. The staff didn't try to upsell insurance since I already purchased one domestically, so there were no extra charges. Initially, I wanted to rent snow chains but decided they weren't needed due to the weather, so the pre-authorization fee for them was deducted.

    The initial car provided had almost 100,000 km on it. Within two days it had a front-end problem and I noticed it also had two bald tyres. Car was changed over two one that was much better. Counter staff tried hard.
