2 Tips for Non-Consecutive Car Rentals

There are 2 things to consider when you plan to rent a car for non-consecutive days:

1. Are you able to find a desirable hotel right downtown so you can save the rental car cost?

Hotels are popular in the Queenstown downtown, and may be booked soon or are not at your desirable price. So if you insist staying in downtown area to save rental car cost, your options for hotels would be limited. On the other hand, if you find better hotel options that is not right in the downtown area, you’ll need a car for easy travel.

2. How early can you pickup your rental car?

Stores in Queenstown close early around 5 pm, and many rental car companies in downtown close before 3 pm. So if you happen to join a long tour ending at 8 pm and want to pick up your car for tomorrow’s early road trip, you may not be able to do so since they may require you to pick up your car during their business hours.
