About Nationwide Rental Cars

Operating from our head office at 7 Percival Gull Place at Auckland Airport, Nationwide Rental Cars is the smart choice for both domestic and international travellers touring and visiting New Zealand.

Established in 1989, Nationwide boasts a professional team of reservations and branch staff at 10 locations throughout New Zealand including the Bay of Islands, Auckland Airport, Auckland City, Rotorua, Wellington, Picton, Greymouth, Christchurch, Queenstown Airport and Dunedin Airport. We have the experience and expertise to make your next trip around NZ the best experience it can be, with quality customer service, great value for money prices, special offers, and a large fleet of modern vehicles aged from brand new to 3 years of age.

Nationwide offers one-way rentals between all locations with no one way hire fees, and unlike its larger competitors does not charge "premium location" fees at its major centres. All Nationwide Rental Car branches are owned and operated by head office, not via franchises, so you are guaranteed a consistently high level of service and superior vehicle quality throughout the country when renting with us.

Nationwide operates a fleet of over 1,000 of the latest rental cars ranging from small compacts to medium or large sedans, 4WD wagons, luxury people movers and 10 and 12 seater minibuses complete with enclosed, lockable trailers - perfect for sports groups or small group touring. Nationwide's fleet is regularly updated and all cars are aged from brand new to 3 years old.

In 1998, Nationwide launched a sister company called Ezi-Rent Car Hire. Ezi-Rent Car Hire provides 4 to 7 year old vehicles, ideally suited for budget-conscious travellers. When renting with Ezi-Rent you experience the same great service, convenience and terms and conditions as Nationwide customers do, with Ezi-Rent operating from the same 10 branches in NZ as Nationwide Rental Cars.
