Car Rentals


United Vacations chooses Budget because no other rental company offers so much choice. Budget offers a wide selection of vehicle categories, all the latest model cars and vans, 4-Wheel Drives and sports models. The fleet is constantly being updated, averaging less than 6 months old, and maintained to the highest standards for your driving comfort and safety. Add this to the most extensive network of vehicle depots in both New Zealand, along with the ability to combine rentals to lower your daily rate. Rentals we arrange for you include unlimited mileage and standard Collision Damage Waiver (deductible/excess applies). There are additional insurance options, including excess reduction, which may be purchased when collecting your vehicle. All Budget vehicles are smoke-free, and accessories such as child seats are available for rental when booked in advance.

Accommodation Vouchers


For many travelers, the flexibility of accommodation passes is invaluable. You can book accommodation as you travel, reserving via a toll-free number. With a vast network of participating properties, you are guaranteed a hotel or motel in all of the main cities and tourist resorts. However, during peak season we recommend pre-booking hotels to prevent any disappointment during your vacation.
