These pages show what you’re hiring, what it really costs, and how strict the rules are — before you get to the counter. Every rule is read from the rental company’s own terms, help centre or branch page, and dated. Sample prices are quotes we took ourselves, and they move daily.

How these pages are written
Every rule is read from the rental company’s own terms, help centre or branch page, and dated. Prices are sample quotes we took ourselves on each company’s booking site, with the date of the quote and the travel dates shown beside them — they move daily, so check your own dates. Where a company publishes nothing, we say so rather than guess.
Where we earn: the “Compare prices” links on this page and the New Zealand guide (DiscoverCars, EconomyBookings, QEEQ, Localrent and GetRentacar) are affiliate links, labelled where they appear. The excess explainers and the campervan guides carry no affiliate links. How we’re paid.
Questions people ask
Does Traviva rent cars or campervans?
No. Traviva is an independent comparison site. We read the rental companies’ terms, take sample quotes and summarise them; you book with the company or a booking site of your choice.
Which car hire guide should I read first?
If you plan to sleep in the vehicle, start with the campervan and motorhome guide (or the Tasmania page). If you are driving in New Zealand, start with the New Zealand car hire guide. If you are confused by excess and card holds anywhere, read the excess explainer.
Does Traviva earn money from car hire?
Only from the comparison-site links (DiscoverCars, EconomyBookings, QEEQ, Localrent and GetRentacar) on this page and the New Zealand car hire guide, which are labelled as affiliate links. The excess pages and the campervan and motorhome pages carry no affiliate links.
