F.A.

Sometimes it is better value to rent a vehicle than take your own, especially if your vehicle is an older one. You get an almost new vehicle to use, it will probably be cheaper to run petrol-wise, more comfortable to drive, and you get no wear and tear on your own car. By shopping around and booking early if possible you can get absurdly cheap deals. We rang around the rental companies as we wanted to go from Kaitaia to tauranga and back on a Friday to a Monday. For unlimited K’s and including GST and insurance the prices ranged from $162 to $349. If we took our own vehicle the wear and tear and depreciation alone woud outweight the $162. Also if you own an older vehicle which may be unrealiable a newer rental is a far better proposition for piece-of-mind motoring..
