PICK UP INSTRUCTIONS

DROP OFF INSTRUCTIONS

Between 08:00am - 05:00pm

Dropping off your rental car at our Nelson Airport depot is super simple, the key things to remember are:

  • Make sure you have fueled up your vehicle to the same level as when you picked it up to avoid a refuelling charge ($25). The nearest gas station to our Nelson car rental depot is the NPD Parlers Rd. at the intersection of Parkers Rd and Muritai St.

  • Make sure the vehicle is left in a clean & tidy state - we don't expect it to be fully groomed or anything, but a general clean and tidy will help to avoid an additional charge.

After checking the above, simply drop the keys off to the branch staff who will do a 2 minute final handover process and your away!

Our Nelson Airport Shuttle service does work both ways - simply ask for a lift back to the airport when dropping off your vehicle.

Unfortunately, After Hours Pick Ups are unavailable from our Nelson Depot. If you are running a bit late for your vehicle collection please give us a call on 0800 288 699 and we will try to accommodate your request. If we are unable to provide a vehicle to you after hours, your vehicle will be ready to collect when the depot opens at 8am the following day.
