The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Queenstown are: Ford Ka, Toyota Aygo, Chevrolet Matiz, Hyundai Atos, Kia Picanto, Ford Fiesta and others.
When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in New Zealand vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in New Zealand are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Queenstown, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Driving Advices for New Zealand – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
In winter, roads located close to mountain passes are considered the most dangerous ones. Only vehicles equipped with snow chains can travel on such roads. You will need to drive very slowly on such roads. Do not forget that in no case you can brake quickly.
The North and South islands are connected by ferries. Drivers, who want to ship a car from one island to another, will have to pay approximately 190 NZD.
Milford Road is one of the most beautiful roads in the country, so it deserves the attention of drivers. Located on the South Island, the road is laid through the mountain range of the Southern Alps. The road features truly unique landscapes - high mountain peaks that reach the sky, crystal clear waterfalls and flows of hardened lava.

Rental Advices
When traveling in the mountains, we recommend getting a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle. In critical mountain situations and during steep ascents/descents, cars with a four-wheel drive are much safer and more reliable. This will definitely give you an additional confidence during your trip.
At the rental office in Queenstown or already during your reservation process, it is also possible to purchase an additional insurance to limit your liability (zero franchise), which will reimburse the deductible provided by a third party (Mondial Assistance or Allianz).
