About Budget Rent a Car
Renting great cars to value-minded customers since 1958, Budget was first introduced to New Zealand by Bob Ansett in the early 1980's. Much has changed since then and Budget Rent a Car Limited New Zealand is now wholly owned by the Avis Budget Group.

Staffed by a professional and enthusiastic team, Budget New Zealand is committed to providing flexible and affordable transport options, without compromising on quality.
