How to find Hertz at Dunedin Airport
Picking up your Hertz car rental at Dunedin Airport can happen in several ways. Collection may be on-site at the airport, through meeting a staff member on arrival, or by shuttle bus to the rental area. Use the 'Pickup' filter while searching to discover all the options available at the airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up your ride right where you land. Counters sit inside or next to the arrival terminal, so you can quickly go from baggage claim to the driver's seat.
Free shuttle bus: This collection option comes into play when the provider is located near the airport rather than at it. A free bus runs between the terminal and the rental site.
Meet and greet: A representative will meet you in arrivals with the keys and rental paperwork. From there, they'll guide you to your car.
Prefer a more direct route to the driver's seat? Some providers offer self-service pickup, which means you can collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox.
Hertz car rental at Dunedin Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic does the gear changing for you, while Manual is the traditional stick shift. The majority of rental companies offer both.
Fuel policy: Choose a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy' and avoid extra refueling costs. It arrives with a full tank and goes back the same way, so it's easier to keep track of what you're paying.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' give you more freedom to explore without racking up added charges. Search for this option using the 'Policies' filter and travel freely.
Side of the road: Remember to stick to the left side of the road in New Zealand.
Speed limits: Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's 45kph in built-up areas and around 95kph on highways, unless signed otherwise.
Required documents: When collecting your Hertz car rental, you'll generally need your physical driver's licence and another form of photo ID. If anything else is expected, it'll be listed in your booking.
Deposits and credit card: Providers often place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card for the security deposit. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so it's a good idea to bring a credit card with you.
Insurance: Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but it can save you from paying a hefty excess fee. Make sure you understand what's included before you book.
Add ons: From navigation systems and mobile Wi-Fi hotspots to additional drivers, the right extras can seriously upgrade your Hertz car rental.
