There is a trick that some savvy travellers might want to keep to themselves:It's possible to cut costs and enjoy driving free rental cars and campervans on New Zealand roads. Transfercar.co.nz is a website that enables travellers to book cars and campers that need to be repositioned for new hires.
This model provides a win-win solution where travellers get a free one-way car or campervan hire while rental companies save big money on relocation costs.
Even though Transfercar’s website was first launched in 2008, it remained relatively secret until last summer, where it saw a surge of about 2,000 visits per day and helped thousands of travellers secure a free rental car. This summer is set to become another busy one for Transfercar as there are record numbers of relocation deals currently advertised on the website.
The most popular routes are northbound from Christchurch and Queenstown to Auckland, however new deals and various routes are being added every day so it pays for travellers to check the website regularly at www.transfercar.co.nz. Most deals include a free tank of petrol and inter-island routes often come with a free ferry crossing as well.
Thanks for that.
I noticed that the date ranges are very short, a few days max to pre book, is it possible to arrange, say, a month in advance?
