KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Invercargill
- Car hire in Invercargill offers a great opportunity to explore the capital of Southland, rich in history and vintage motor vehicles. You can spend your days moving from the racing memorabilia through to many of the historical buildings and down to the heritage trail before taking to the road for one or two road trips. The Catlins are less than 40min away, home to sweeping coastline scenery and rare wildlife. You can do all of this without relying on bus schedules or finding a taxi that'll charge an arm and a leg for your travels.
- There are plenty of companies offering car hire in Invercargill at Invercargill Airport (IVC), and choosing one here means you don't have to rely on public transport to and from the airport. The car hire companies are located outside of the arrival and departure terminals, along Airport Avenue, and in the car park across the road as you exit the terminals. To avoid any availability issues and to save time, book online through KAYAK and take the confirmation details to the car hire desks.
