Snapshot of my dad with our reliable GO Rentals Pajero Sport with the backdrop of the majestic Lake Hawea! As of writing this, we have travelled from Christchurch to explore the amazing wonders of NZ: Mount Cook, Lake Wanaka, and Clay Cliffs. We have paid our visit to see the penguins in Oamaru as well. We can’t wait to explore the rest of South NZ Queenstown, Milford and Doubtful Sound and Dunedin! We won’t be able to make this trip without GO Rentals!
We have loved how flexible GO rentals have been for us. We have been waiting 3 weeks for our car to get through customs and have had to keep calling up to extend the car hire which hasn't once been a problem! We have had many wonderful adventures exploring all the beautiful beaches and waterfalls in the North Island. Thank you ever so much for making this difficult time so easy and enjoyable, especially with our 4-month-old little explorer!

As one of the largest cities in New Zealand, Auckland is a hub of multi-cultural experiences, thriving businesses and stunning scenery. With limited public transportation options in the city, opting for a long-term car rental is a cost-effective alternative, ensuring a stress-free stay during your visit.
Pick up your rental vehicle as soon as you land at Auckland Airport or head to our urban CBD branch and settle into your extended trip.
Some journeys are worth savouring and Christchurch is the perfect place to shift into cruise control. Enjoy a long winter ski adventure at Mount Hutt with our ski rack accessories or take in a breathtaking drive through the Canterbury region.
Why settle for a sprint when you can go for a marathon? Christchurch is the ideal base to start a South Island adventure. Explore every beautiful landscape on offer in a long-term car rental.
Basing yourself in the capital city of Wellington for an extended trip is an excellent idea. It is the gateway for exploring both the North and South Islands and a long-term rental can help you appreciate the travel opportunities on your doorstep.
