Travel your way
One journey. No need to double back.
One-way vehicle hire gives you the flexibility to start and finish your journey in different locations. Whether you're relocating, travelling for work, moving between cities, collecting a vehicle for a project or planning a holiday, a one-way rental can save time, reduce travel costs and make your journey more convenient.
With locations throughout New Zealand and a wide range of vehicles available, Cross Country can help match the right vehicle to your journey and destination.
Instead of returning your vehicle to where you started, simply return it to an agreed Cross Country location at the end of your hire.
One-way hire
What is a one-way hire?
A one-way hire means collecting a vehicle from one agreed location and returning it to another. It can be a practical option when your journey finishes in a different city or region and you do not want to drive back to your original collection point. One-way hires are subject to vehicle availability, and additional relocation costs, the collection and return locations, and current fleet requirements. Our team will confirm what is possible and provide the full price before you book.
