PRIORITY CAR RENTALS STRONGLY RECOMMENDS OUR CUSTOMERS TO TAKE THE EXCESS REDUCTION OPTIONS TO MINIMISE EXCESS EXPOSURE AND TRAVEL WITH PEACE OF MIND.

Excess options do not cover water submersion or salt-water damage. All excess options are void if the terms of the rental agreement are breached.

A bond is required for all hires. You will be asked to sign a separate security bond in the form of a credit card imprint. This bond is held by Priority Car Rentals and is not banked; it is our guarantee that the vehicle will be returned on time and in the condition that it was hired in. Priority Car Rentals no longer accepts a cash bond as a form of deposit. All clients must have a credit card to hire a vehicle.

Full payment is required prior to dispatch of vehicle. Please note that an additional surcharge of 2% applies if payment is being made on Amex or Diners credit cards.

Except for specials, 24 hours on time of pick-up. There is a 1 hour grace period, if the car is over 1 hour late a full day may be charged. Payment is to be made at the commencement of the hire by either cash/ traveler's cheques or credit card.

Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T) of 12.5% is included in all daily hire prices.

There are no refunds for early returns. Returning a hired vehicle early may incur a penalty equivalent to 1 days hire. The daily rate on any discounted or special hires may be recalculated at rack rates.

Dependant on vehicle availability between all branches, minimum hire days and one way fees may apply. Relocation hires may be available. Please note that for hires from Auckland Airport Branch to Auckland City Branch a NZ$ 20.00 one way fee may apply.

Child seats are now compulsory on New Zealand roads (for children under 5 years of age). These may be hired from our offices. These need to be ordered at the time of reservation stating the age and weight of the child so the correct size can be booked.

After hours pick up and drop offs can be arranged through our reservations team. For all after hours pick up and drop offs there is an administration fee that applies. Please note that after hours pick ups and drop offs cannot be done from our Queenstown branch.
