To see the best of New Zealand, explore both the North and South Islands. Separated by Cook Strait, regular inter-island ferry services connect the two Islands and Hertz  has depots right on the main Interislander Ferry terminal at Wellington and Picton.
 
A booking can be made starting on one Island and ending on another; however, our vehicles MUST be returned to the island they were rented from.
