Often hailed as the "best of both worlds", hybrid cars offer the environmental benefits of electric vehicles as well as the convenience of their petrol-powered cousins.
If you can't wait to traverse New Zealand in a hybrid vehicle, GO Rentals has a range of options for you to choose from. It's easy to find the perfect car for your journey.
A hybrid car is a vehicle that features both an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor. Drivers can use the ICE or the motor for whichever option suits their needs. Often, hybrid vehicles even allow for both power sources to be used at the same time for maximum efficiency.
At GO Rentals, our hybrid rental vehicles rely solely on the car battery and regenerative braking to recharge. When you drive these vehicles, you never need to worry about finding a charging station.
A modern and sleek fleet is our priority to ensure you have a stress-free car rental experience. Our hybrid fleet may be subject to change but can cover SUVs, AWDs and 4x4s so you can find the perfect hybrid car for your New Zealand adventure.
