Customer experience

Good and reliable company for renting a car abroad

Easy website, easy phone contact when I had questions. Everything well-organized. Friendly staff. Have rented a car through this company several times and have always been very satisfied.

Very cheap, good car, somewhat near the airport...

We were visiting friends in Wellington, New Zealand and used 121, who arranged a rental voucher for 'Ace Rentals', a local firm. We got a very reasonable 2006 Nissan with about 80'000 miles on the clock which I am told is good for New Zealand. The only problem was the location, a good 15 minute drive from the airport, but there was a free shuttle so for the money we could not really complain. The car was well maintained and clean, and the staff very nice. I would definitely not call this 'Airport' rental though.

great customer service

Picked us up at the airport and returned us as well. Car didn't have much get up an go but very economical. The owner helped us witha problem that we had with another car rental company on the north island.

Al's Australia trip

The only thing I didn't like was:- The original website offered excess cover insurance at 50% off. What it did not say was that this insurance was for use in Europe only and I had to pay Questor an additional sum to get cover for Australia...Make the web pages more honest !!! Otherwise the booking, the car, the pick up and the drop off was absolutely brilliant!!!!!

keep the cost down

Easy to use site. Only drawback is that you don't know who you are booking with until you have committed. You can always cancel, though if it doesn't suit. For instance, I wasn't aware that the firm selected was off airport until I received the confirmation. Didn't bother me, and the shuttle service was excellent.

Booking was smooth, car worked fine, price OK

I picked this car up from National in Melbourne, drove to Philip Island and Dandenongs and back, on a few dirt roads too, the car (a Holden) went well, OK on fuel, it was cheapest deal I could find, and the site gave me a few options from different companies, with details of the cars and the extras, what's not included and so on. It all went smoothly. The staff were a bit busy and abrupt but no probs when I brought it back.

Serving the city of Wanganui, Wanganui Airport is a small airport that operates scheduled, private charter and air ambulance flights. Additionally, it houses a flight training school. Air New Zealand is the only carrier that offers scheduled flights here, which arrive from Auckland, Taupo and Wellington. The airport sits along the coast of the South Taranaka Bright, around three miles from the city.

Wanganui Airport facilities

Two car parks can be found on site; one for short-term parking and another for long-term parking. There is a passenger drop-off area situated directly in front of the single terminal building. Inside the terminal, passengers will find a café, an information desk and a large lounge. Car hire in Wanganui Airport is also available from some of the world's leading car rental companies.

Wanganui Airport excursions

Airport Road merges with state highways 3 and 4, both which join with the city centre. These roads make arriving in the city with car rental in Wanganui Airport straightforward. Most visitors come here to explore Whanganui National Park, although the city also has a few landmarks including the War Memorial Tower on Durie Hill. The World Heritage Tongariro National Park is another major draw with its ski fields and active volcanoes.

Best time to visit

Whanganui's average temperature throughout the year is around 14°C, so it can be visited at any time. Many Europeans opt to avoid the cooler winter months of June, July and August, when the temperature can go down to 5.6°C, as well as the wet months of May and October. Yet the cool months are the best times for skiing at nearby Turoa. The summer months of December, January, February and March are the best times to visit.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).
