What you should know about inter-island rentalsInter-Island Rentals
To see the best of New Zealand, explore both the North and South Islands. Separated by Cook Strait, regular inter-island ferry services connect the two Islands and Hertz has depots right on the main Interislander Ferry terminal at Wellington and Picton.
A booking can be made starting on one Island and ending on another, however our vehicles are not permitted to cross between the Islands. We want your Cook Strait crossover between the North Island and South Island to be seamless so please check the information below.
Please refer to https://www.greatjourneysofnz.co.nz/interislander and http://www.bluebridge.co.nz for the latest ferry information.
STARTING ON ONE ISLAND, ENDING ON THE OTHER.
When making your booking, please enter in the Remarks or Notes area the date and time you are sailing between the Islands, and which ferry company you are sailing with. Without this information we cannot guarantee the second vehicle will be ready at the right place and time.
Please note a fee will apply if the vehicle is not returned to the same island the rental started on. Hertz will charge for the actual cost of relocating the vehicle, up to a maximum of NZD$1,000.00 + GST.
STARTING AND ENDING ON THE SAME ISLAND, BUT TRAVELLING ON BOTH.
WE RECOMMEND YOU KEEP THE SAME VEHICLE FOR THE WHOLE RENTAL
If the rental will start and end on the same island, the vehicle is able to be kept for the whole rental.
