What's included in the daily rental rate?

Every booking includes unlimited kilometres, our free airport shuttle, and Basic Cover insurance. You can upgrade to Standard or Premium Cover, add a second driver, or add extras like child seats at checkout.

How much is the insurance excess if I have an accident?

It depends on the cover you choose: Basic Cover has a $5,500 excess, Standard Cover reduces that to $1,500, and Premium Cover drops it to $0 with a $150 bond instead. You can change your cover level any time before pickup.

How old do I need to be to rent a car?

You need to be at least 25 years old with a full driver's licence held for at least one year. Bring your physical licence — plus an International Driving Permit if it isn't in English — to pickup.

What does a rental car actually cost per day?

Our fleet ranges from $40 a day for a compact hatchback to $80 a day for a 7-seater, averaging around $60 a day across 19 vehicles. Multi-day bookings bring the daily rate down further — the exact price shows when you pick your dates.

Can I add a second driver?

Yes — list them at booking or at pickup with their licence details. There's no extra daily charge for a second listed driver.

Do you offer one-way rentals?

Right now all rentals are round-trip, returning to our Auckland Airport branch in Mangere. If you need a different drop-off arrangement, call us directly and we'll see what we can do.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

No problem — call or text us your updated arrival time and we'll adjust your shuttle pickup accordingly, at no extra charge.

Do I have to pay for fuel upfront?

No. Return the car with roughly the same fuel level it had at pickup and you won't pay anything extra — we'll walk around the car with you at drop-off to confirm.

Are toll roads included in the price?

No — New Zealand's toll roads, including Auckland's Northern Gateway, are paid directly by the driver, not through us. We'll point out which routes have tolls and how to pay them when you pick up your car.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa and Mastercard, both credit and debit, for the rental balance and the refundable security bond.

Can I extend my rental after pickup?

Yes — call us before your due-back time and we'll extend your booking if the car's available for the extra days, at the same daily rate.

Do you provide child seats or other extras?

Yes — baby capsules, child seats, booster seats, and snow tyre chains are all available to add at booking for a small daily fee each.

Choose Your Actual Car Before You Book

What You Book Is What You Drive with Bubble Rentals

No "or similar" surprises. Most rental cars at Auckland Airport are booked by category, so you don't know the model until you reach the counter. Bubble Rentals works the opposite way: the exact vehicle you select is the one you drive. Every listing shows the real model, year and registration, so you can compare a Toyota Aqua hybrid against a RAV4 SUV or a 7-seater Esquire and pick the one that fits your trip. You know the make, the boot space and the fuel type before you fly, with the keys ready and waiting at pickup.
