Queenstown Airport Car Rental

Airport Car Rental

Often called the adventure tourism capital of the world, Queenstown attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Lying on the eastern shore of Lake Wakatipu, the city is as famous for its majestic sights as it is for things to see and do. These are four of its most interesting attractions:

  • Winter Sports. Although New Zealand is the southernmost country on the planet, it is also a global hub of skiing and snowboarding. The city is surrounded by alpine scenery and plenty of high-quality slopes like Coronet Peak and the Remarkables. There’s plenty of options for everyone from first-timers to seasoned pros. Also worth checking out is the Snow Farm, an area famous for cross-country skiing — although less breathtaking than going down the mountain, it’s a great way to explore the surrounding nature. The ski season in Queenstown generally runs from late June to the beginning of October.
  • Adventure sports. Even if you’ve come to Queenstown during the Southern hemisphere’s summer, don’t despair — there’s plenty of thrill on offer during the warmest time of the year as well. Activities like mountaineering, bungee jumping, parasailing, paragliding, and many more are offered to visiting daredevils by tours and companies all around the city. Visit the adventure section of the city’s official tourism website to learn more. Queenstown is also a fantastic destination for hiking enthusiasts, with many trails at your disposal.
  • Mount Aspiring National Park. A land of green valleys, snow-capped summits, and deep fjords, New Zealand (and especially the South Island) is epitomized by its nature. The national parks of the country are the right places to enjoy this wilderness at its most untouched. Whether you want to feel like a hobbit on a quest by following the hiking trails or try to spot local fauna, Mount Aspiring is the right place. The town of Makarora, a gateway to this national park, is about 130 km (80 miles) north of Queenstown and can be reached in less than two hours. The park can be visited on a day-trip, but there are also lodging options. Fiordland National Park, a similar natural wonder, is about the same distance southwest of Queenstown.
  • Queenstown Gardens. Bordering Lake Wakatipu, the gardens are one of the nicest nature experiences you can have without leaving the city boundaries. In addition to many local flora species, the gardens have plants from various faraway destinations. Although good for a picnic, the gardens can also be explored by following its main walking trail, which is just over 3 km (2 miles) long.
  • Fiordland National Park - The drive between Queenstown, Te Anau, and Milford Sound is one of the best drives you will find on the South Island. Ending at the glacier-carved Milford Sound with Mitre Peak proudly hovering above the area, it’s a view you won’t forget. For a slightly less-crowded experience, book a tour to Doubtful Sound instead.
  • The Remarkables Park. Particularly beloved amongst winter sports enthusiasts, the Remarkables is Queenstown's most popular ski area. Not a fan of skiing? It’s a great place to visit in the summer, with great trails for beginner to advanced hiking enthusiasts.

Nearest gas station

A BP station located at the Highway 6 roundabout is on the way to the airport from those coming from most directions. If approaching the airport from the south, it is also the most convenient station, even though it requires a circle to reach, as there are no other stations south of the airport.

If renting from NU, Discount, or hitch, an NPD station located on the roundabout of Highway 6 and Hawthorne Drive is the best station for filling up before returning a rental car. It is directly on the way to the locations of those companies.

FAQ

I am 20 years old. Can I rent a car in Queenstown?
Yes, It is possible for drivers as young as 18 to rent a car in Queenstown, but only from certain rental companies (be sure to select your age when searching). You might be charged an additional young driver fee, though.
How many drivers are allowed?
A maximum of four drivers can be added to the rental contract. Customers can add additional drivers on the booking page of our website or at the rental desk. Note that there is usually an additional fee for each additional driver.
Is it possible to know the registration number of the rental car in advance to be able to book a ferry?
No, in most cases it is not possible to know the license plate number before picking up the car as often times the rental company will not know which exact vehicle they will provide you with. Ferry companies are aware of this and allow you to book ahead (e.g., on Blueridge by choosing Rental Car as the make).

May rental companies don’t allow their cars to be taken on ferries and instead have cars on both sides of the Cook Straight. In this case, you’d drop off a car on one side and pick up another on the other side and book your journey on the ferry as a foot passenger. Be sure to contact the rental company in advance to find out whether you can take the car on a ferry or not.
After how many days will the rental company unblock the deposit?
It can take up to 20 days for a rental company to unblock the deposit amount from a customer’s credit card after the car is returned. Often this is due to checking for things such as traffic violations.
I would like to rent a 4wd vehicle, how can I be sure that the vehicle I select is such?
AS 4wd vehicles are popular in Queenstown, multiple rental companies offer them. Look for the 4x4 badge in the search results or use the 4x4 filter under the car specifications on the left-hand side of the results. These vehicles are guaranteed to be either 4wd or AWD.
Are snow chains provided for the rental car during winter?
While almost all rental companies have all-season or winter tires on their cars during winter, most do not include snow chains. You can, however, rent them from most companies for an additional fee.

Our Customers' Reviews

Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have an option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic, verified, and trustworthy.

Yes Rentals were great to deal with as they provide a shuttle service when picking up an dropping off the car. Getting out and about around Otago was easy with roads in great condition and gorgeous scenery around every corner. Traffic is busy in Queenstown and it's hard to find a parking space so best to park at your hotel and walk to town if you can.

We travelled to Te Anua, did the glow worm tour, which was amazing, then did a Milford Sound boat tour, that was fantastic! We then drove to a beautiful little town called Wanaka, very pretty spot, then drove to Lake Tekapo, and we were supposed to do a Glacier Express tour, but it got cancelled, due to weather, but we got to see the glaciers anyway! Then drove to Queenstown, and spent 5 nights there, skydiving, doing the Shotover Jet, going up on the cable car in Queenstown, riding the Luges, and enjoying all that Queenstown has to offer! Would recommend to anyone to go, but definitely hire a car and see the amazing scenery!

Queenstown was going off, busy, vibrant and fun. Milford Track was a once in a lifetime experience, truly lived up to its name of one of the best multiday walking tracks there is. The Catlins was a hidden gem. Blue Kanu in Queenstown and The Point Cafe at Kaka Point (have the seafood platter !) were standouts and a must. And don't miss Ferg Burgers in Queenstown for a complete rounded experience of Queenstown - don't be put off by the queue, it moves quickly and they are super efficient at the takeaways.

We rented a small Toyota Yaris to travel Central Otago roads. For the most part, these roads are smooth and well maintained, so this car is ideal for a couple with moderate luggage. We did travel a fair few windy unsealed roads. Having been brought up in rural NZ, the driver was well used to driving that type of terrain, but if you're new to gravel road driving, we'd recommend something more like a RAv4 with more suitable tyres and possibly 4-wheel drive. Otherwise a great little economical vehicle.

A must-do trip that compares with nothing else in the world. We spent 2 nights in Queenstown. We managed a short trip to Arrowtown, Cardrona and Wanaka, and also to the Lavender Farm. Back in Queenstown we went up the Gondola and down the Luge, which was great fun. Went on the Go-Orange 1 hour jet boat trip which was also great fun, but prepare for the cold and to get wet.

Renting a car is a must in Queenstown. There are so many things to see and do with some truly awe inspiring day trips that you can do by car.

Great place. Quite hilly though so car is a good idea for older people. Glenorchy is an hour away, and Arrowtown about 15 minutes. I would not drive to Milford, but the coach/boat trip by Southern Experience is great.

Most things can be accessed from the city but it’s good to have a car for a couple of days to head out to some off the track spots

Queenstown is undoubtedly one of my favourite city to visit where is surrounded by mountains covered with snow in winter time, so it’s easy to see the magnificent scene. Even though the location of picking up the car is not the closest to the airport compared to other rental car companies, the snap rental offers free shuttle transfer to pick you up from the airport to their office. It is just 5 -10mins car ride. Nice service.

Great being able to travel easily to Wanaka and Glenorchy independently. Able to make last minute decisions as to where to visit as had own transport rather than relying on public transport.

Be prepared for traffic jams to and from the airport, so give yourself plenty of time to get there. Lots to do in Queenstown even if the snow is not running, although all very expensive! Tourist prices. Big supermarkets by the airport so do your shopping for food when you arrive after picking up your car. Amazing scenery all around.

You'll get to see so much more with your own car in the Queenstown area with much better flexibility. Milford Sound, Franz Josef are easily do-able.

We were only in Queenstown for 3 days so hired a car to make the most of the sights and views. However, we only used the car for a day and managed to get to Arrowtown, Wanaka, Lake Hayes and Glenorchy. On the other 2 days we booked excursions to Milford Sound by plane and a helicopter to the glaciers and we were picked up at the hotel for those. The car was also handy for getting to and fro from the airport and saved on taxi fares.

I rented from the cheapest place I could find, but it was still more expensive compared to renting from other cities in New Zealand and around the world. When you turn your rental car in, make sure there's someone there to check it in for you. If you have to turn the car in the day before and just take a taxi or rideshare to the airport, do it.
