Are you itching to see the whole of New Zealand but find yourself limited by budget, time and frankly, the mental load of planning your itinerary? We hear you. And we’re letting you in on a little hack that will get you GOing from a pamper day in the city to hiking your heart out in the mountains - without breaking the bank. Trust us, once you discover it, you’ll never want to travel New Zealand any other way.
One-way relocation deals are discounts that some car rental companies offer you to drive their vehicles from one location to another. They’re the ultimate hack to getting more out of your New Zealand road trip for less.

Not only do these deals help get the cars back to their homes, but they give you the chance to save on the next leg of your Kiwi adventure.

Our fifth stop on our road trip from Auckland to Queenstown. Such a great car and it made sightseeing so easy!˝
We are on a 10-week trip through New Zealand. We picked up our car in Queenstown and after the first 10 kilometres we already had stone damage to the windscreen. The team in Queenstown helped us in a very uncomplicated way, provided us with a replacement car and repaired the windscreen. A few days later, we were in Wanaka and climbed Roys Peak - along with many others - in fantastic conditions. The feeling of being welcome has never left us since we picked up the car from GO Rentals. We feel wonderful and enjoy every day in this marvellous country!˝
Exploring NZ was made easy thanks to the amazing staff and vehicles available at GO Rentals! We absolutely loved our Mitsubishi Pajero and the places it took us!˝
