Scenic drives are at the top of the list of things to do in New Zealand, and this is the perfect reason to hire a luxury car in Queenstown. Take slow relaxing cruises in ultimate comfort through New Zealand's most scenic places. Hire a luxury car in Queenstown and set off to explore the lakes and mountains in any direction you drive. Explore surrounding locations like Arrowtown, an 18min drive from Queenstown and catch the astonishing views at the top of The Crown Range Road.
The nearest airport to Queenstown is Queenstown (ZQN) Airport which is 6.3km away. You can hire a luxury car in Queenstown directly from the airport, as they have a wide range of car hire companies like Avis, Hertz and Europcar. Some companies are on-site in the arrivals terminals, while other companies are just outside the main airport building. Off-site companies provide a free shuttle service to collect you from the airport or drop you off.
Driving in Queenstown and its surrounding areas is a breeze, with dual carriageway roads that are wide and well maintained. You won't find too many traffic lights, but rather more roundabouts, meaning smoother traffic flow. The smooth driving conditions and long stretches on freeways and highways mean it's helpful to hire a luxury car in Queenstown with cruise control features so that you can relax and soak up the view of lakes and snow-capped mountains on your way.
Driving in Queenstown, you'll find the roads are a bit flatter and less narrow than in other parts of New Zealand, which is great for cruising in your luxury hire car in Queenstown. However, while you can expect well-maintained roads as you drive through rolling farmland and take picturesque coastal drives, you will find that multi-lane highways are few and far between, making overtaking a time-consuming task at points. In addition, it's not uncommon to see a sheep crossing the road, so look out for animals as you drive in rural areas.
25% of our users found a luxury car rental in Queenstown for $91 or less
Book your luxury car rental in Queenstown at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
May is typically the cheapest month to rent a luxury car in Queenstown, with prices around $39 per day. The most expensive month is December, with average prices of $110 per day.

What documents do I need to hire a luxury car in Queenstown?
One of the essential documents you need to see from the car hire company is a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) which proves the car is roadworthy. This document is not your responsibility, but you should ensure you don't leave the hire car in a car park without it. The WOF must be on display in the front of the car on the dashboard. It's also best to take out third-party insurance when hiring a luxury car and to keep your insurance documents in the car at all times.
Which is the best luxury car to hire in Queenstown?
When we think about driving in New Zealand in general, we think about SUVs or 4-wheel drives because of the narrow, winding, hilly roads that can take you over all sorts of off-road terrains. This idea can still apply when hiring a luxury car in Queenstown. You can book a luxury SUV like the Honda CR-V or the Mitsubishi ASX to have the perfect balance of an off-road car and the luxury of a premium vehicle, which makes driving long distances easy and comfortable.
What are the speed limits in Queenstown?
When driving your luxury car on freeways and highways, the speed limit is usually 100 kph, while in urban and residential areas, the speed varies between 50 kph and 80 kph. Driving by school zones means reducing your speed to 40 kph, but when passing a school building, you need to drive at no more than 20 kph. It’s never legal to go faster than 100 kph, even driving on a highway or freeway. Be careful of speed cameras as speeding is a serious offence, and there are cameras all over Queenstown.
How does KAYAK find such low luxury car rental prices?

Car was very comfortable, clean , more than enough power, pick up was sooo easy, drop off a little disappointing as there were no persons on the counter and we really wanted to know about the deposit return. In the end we had to drop the key and run for our boarding, but was sorted very easy next day by phone call.

Pickup was bad. We were just told to sign the electronic keypad (wording small). Then we were handed keys and told to go out the door and get our car. There was NO ONE to inspect or go over the car (not the one we booked) with us anywhere! Two days after we picked up the car we received an email saying we had around an hour to take pictures of our rental and attach them. Too Late! We were not told that at the end we would have to pay extra $. The pickup guy was nice but off site due to staffing shortages. The drivers side of the car had no floor mat. Maybe that was the 200$ extra you charged us.

Liked the new low milage Rav4 we rented. Not happy about the fuel sercvice charge added to our bill. The car was not "topped off with fuel when we picked it up as I found out the first time I refueled and drove almost a 100 kilometers before the gauge appeared when I picked up the car. i returned the vehicle with at least as much fuel in it as when I picked it up

The cars were advertised as being "pick-up at the airport". They were not. We spent over half an hour extra time waiting for and being taken to their off-airport base (each way). We complained. They could not care less. Then, although I had booked the car using my Amex Platinum card on Kayak, which covers my insurance excess, they told me they would not accept it and tried to sell me their insurance at $35 per day. This is a rort. I doubt anyone ever reads these Surveys. I request someone very senior from Kayak contacts me within the next 7 days, or I will write to your CEO and write some very unpleasant reviews on Social Media.

There was three people working but only one person manning a computer. Check-in per person takes about 20 minutes and there's lots of printing and signing paperwork. The car smelled like gasoline had been spilled in it, the infant car seat was broken and unable to be tightened and they were unable to provide a replacement! The second car in the party was not even available as they run on a thin margin of car availability and it hadn't been returned. When it was returned it had no gas (on empty with notification lights) and they refused to gas it. This car had about 60k miles on it and was in poor condition. Third rental car in the group battery died and had to be jumped to get back to the airport. Yay!

Rude customer service. Took over an hour for 3 people to pick up their vehicles, all of whom had issues with what was booked online vs what was available at pick up. The conformation email confirmed which credit cards were accepted but when i tried to pay, they rejected my credit card and just said no, not that one - even though it’s listed as accepted in the email. There are no facilities on site. No bathrooms, water or even a seat inside. There is a bench outside you could sit on. You are in a shipping container in the middle of a gravel pit. Our car was dirty. Greasy fingers all over the window screen and so dusty inside. It clearly hadn’t had a clean for a long time. Car was VERY basic. You might save $100 but it’s not worth the time, effort or delays created by staff would make it clear they would rather be anywhere else. Only positive would be that the car was a hybrid so driving all over for a long weekend only cost us $20 in petrol.
