Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Queenstown Intl. Airport (ZQN)?
Yes, and you won’t be short on choice. After you’ve disembarked and grabbed your bags, make a beeline for the rental car center in the Terminal building, a three minute walk away. Here you can arrange your ride with trusted companies like JUCY, Europcar and Enterprise. If you’d like some more options, see what’s on offer with Thrifty and Avis.
What happens if I need to cancel my Wanaka car reservation?
We’re aware that things happen and plans change unexpectedly. That’s why a large number of prepaid rentals offer a complete refund if you cancel six hours in advance of collecting the car. Your rental agreement should have all the details you need. If you can’t find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
