Fuel is expensive. The supermarkets have fuel vouchers which are helpful, especially Pak n Save which give you 10c off/litre and their fuel is the cheapest anyway.

We hired a hybrid - Toyota Aqua. Small and efficient.

Parking could be challenging so learning the signs is important but driving was really easy. We were surprised how many dirt roads there were around queenstown .
Verified travelerOct 2024
I rented a hybrid little hatchback Toyota Auto transmission. There was no snow so I didn’t need anything more.
Verified travelerMay 2024
We were in Queenstown to attend a wedding so our needs were well met with a Toyota Corolla. I would recommend an AWD vehicle for the normal activities in winter in this area.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Def buy car parking at your hotel as very convenient Don’t try and drive through Qtown 9-11 am or 4-6pm as traffic jams. Drive up the remarkable definitely worthwhile.

Jucy was nice in AU, I would rent from them again-no hidden charges.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Driving around Queenstown is easy and straight forward. There's plenty of paid parking in the city centre, and it's a lovely place to begin a road trip.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Queenstown

  • Renting a car during your time in Queenstown is highly recommended as a personal vehicle is the best way to get out of town and check out the gorgeous countryside. For instance, Wanaka at 67 km (41.7 miles) away takes just an hour to reach in a car and it offers some of the most spectacular lakeside views in New Zealand.
  • Excited to arrive in Queenstown so you can begin your trip to New Zealand? If you are planning on picking up a hire car after landing at Queenstown Airport, it is quite an easy affair. There are a large variety of hire car counters located right within the airport’s terminal so you can go straight from the plane to driving away.
  • A lot of the intersections in Queenstown’s city center lack traffic light crossings so be on the lookout for pedestrians crossing the street. This warning doubly applies during the high season, which lasts from December to March and is when Queenstown sees its largest influx of tourists. Drivers must also remember that you must drive on the left, which is often trickiest to remember at roundabouts, of which there are many in Queenstown.
  • Drivers can expect the morning rush hour in Queenstown to pick up at around 6:30 a.m. during the work week and to finish up around 9:00 a.m. As for the afternoon rush hour, it is a bit less severe and starts at 4:00 p.m., then quieting down shortly after 6:00 p.m. The 6A Highway is where drivers will experience the largest backups during rush hour due to the number of commuters going into and out of the city.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Queenstown for €50 or less
  • Book your car hire in Queenstown at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact hire cars in Queenstown are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Queenstown

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Queenstown?

    Smaller vehicles such as sedans and compacts are certainly the more popular option for drivers in Queenstown. There are a decent number of SUVs as well, while trucks are much rarer in the city. In general a smaller car is a better bet because many of the city’s streets are somewhat on the narrower side, so parking may be easier in a more compact car.

Additionally, speed limits of 80 km/h (50 mph) are found on larger rural roads.

  • Where are the best places to park in Queenstown?

    Parking is an easy affair in Queenstown, thanks to the large number of parking garages and lots in the popular areas of town.

This would have to be the worst car rental experience that I have ever experienced having rented cars in most continents. I will recommend everyone NOT renting from EZU. Firstly, it took well over 30 mins for the van to pick us up from the airport. Then the car given to us was over 10 years old and had over 210k kms on the clock. We picked the car up at night. Inside the car was a mess and I didn’t even want to sit in the car as it was filthy with 10 years of grime on the inside.. The rental form had that there were no defects on the car and given that we couldn’t see at night we looked the next morning. It would be lucky if any panels of the car weren’t scratched. We could barely get the car over 80 kms per hour and the car would then start to shake making the car very unsafe. We called the office to complain about these things and never got a return phone call. Having rented a lot of cars over the world, I am sorry to say that this is by far the worst experience that I have ever had. The only positive comment is that your team didn’t try and claim damage insurance on the car when I returned

The cars were advertised as being "pick-up at the airport". They were not. We spent over half an hour extra time waiting for and being taken to their off-airport base (each way). We complained. They could not care less. Then, although I had booked the car using my Amex Platinum card on Kayak, which covers my insurance excess, they told me they would not accept it and tried to sell me their insurance at $35 per day. This is a rort. I doubt anyone ever reads these Surveys. I request someone very senior from Kayak contacts me within the next 7 days, or I will write to your CEO and write some very unpleasant reviews on Social Media.

Car was very comfortable, clean , more than enough power, pick up was sooo easy, drop off a little disappointing as there were no persons on the counter and we really wanted to know about the deposit return. In the end we had to drop the key and run for our boarding, but was sorted very easy next day by phone call.

Pickup was bad. We were just told to sign the electronic keypad (wording small). Then we were handed keys and told to go out the door and get our car. There was NO ONE to inspect or go over the car (not the one we booked) with us anywhere! Two days after we picked up the car we received an email saying we had around an hour to take pictures of our rental and attach them. Too Late! We were not told that at the end we would have to pay extra $. The pickup guy was nice but off site due to staffing shortages. The drivers side of the car had no floor mat. Maybe that was the 200$ extra you charged us.

Vehicle was very clean and the young Lady whom transferred us to the Airport was Super friendly, our 1st experience with Yes Rentals so we will be keen to see how the next rental pans out as we did rent in a quiet period 👍

Rude customer service. Took over an hour for 3 people to pick up their vehicles, all of whom had issues with what was booked online vs what was available at pick up. The conformation email confirmed which credit cards were accepted but when i tried to pay, they rejected my credit card and just said no, not that one - even though it’s listed as accepted in the email. There are no facilities on site. No bathrooms, water or even a seat inside. There is a bench outside you could sit on. You are in a shipping container in the middle of a gravel pit. Our car was dirty. Greasy fingers all over the window screen and so dusty inside. It clearly hadn’t had a clean for a long time. Car was VERY basic. You might save $100 but it’s not worth the time, effort or delays created by staff would make it clear they would rather be anywhere else. Only positive would be that the car was a hybrid so driving all over for a long weekend only cost us $20 in petrol.

Cancelled my rental car unintentionally and they wouldn’t give it back to me. Ended up having to go with another option that cost $1000 additional.

There was three people working but only one person manning a computer. Check-in per person takes about 20 minutes and there's lots of printing and signing paperwork. The car smelled like gasoline had been spilled in it, the infant car seat was broken and unable to be tightened and they were unable to provide a replacement! The second car in the party was not even available as they run on a thin margin of car availability and it hadn't been returned. When it was returned it had no gas (on empty with notification lights) and they refused to gas it. This car had about 60k miles on it and was in poor condition. Third rental car in the group battery died and had to be jumped to get back to the airport. Yay!
