free rental cars in Dunedin NZ's online relocation service that offers free use of rental cars and campervans

about Dunedin

Dunedin is a buzzing city and the central location of Otago University, one of New Zealand’s leading universities.

Situated on the stunning southeast coast of the South Island, Dunedin is New Zealand's oldest city, and is regarded to be the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian city in the Southern Hemisphere.

Formerly called New Edinburgh, this beautiful city has a strong Scottish background, with the city's name being later changed to Edinburgh's old Celtic name, Dunedin (Dun Edin, meaning Edin on the Hill).

about relocations

Transfercar's relocations are free to drive privately owned or rental cars and campervans that need to be moved between specific locations and are available between set dates.

Often vehicles will come with free petrol, insurance and extras such as ferry crossings with many offering additional days that can be purchased at a discounted rate.

Climate

The climate of Dunedin in general is temperate, however due to the city’s topographical layout, the weather conditions often vary between suburbs.

This beautiful little city is recognised as having a large number of microclimates which is also greatly modified by its proximity to the ocean. This leads to warm summers and cool winters.

Like many places in New Zealand, Dunedin is considered to be a 4 seasons city, whereby weather conditions may replica all four seasons in one day.

how to book

Transfercar is an online relocation service providing really cheap (usually free) rental cars and campervan hire. With "free" we really mean the cars are free to drive, not even $1 a day! We don't charge anything for this. How can it be free? Here in New Zealand we call it relocating but overseas the concept is called driveaway or one way hire. Rental car or camper van companies need to move cars between their branches all the time. They can either use expensive trucks or trains or they can let you drive it for free. The rental operators win, you win. So how do we make money on this? Transfercar is charging a small fee to the rental operators for each successfull relocation. We are constantly looking for more relocation drivers. Families, students, backpackers, event-goers, seniors or other travellers are all welcome. You need to be over 18 and have a full drivers license. The most popular routes are between Queenstown, Christchurch, Picton, Wellington and Auckland but other locations are listed all the time. Most cars come with free ferry and insurance A free tank of fuel and other expenses covered is not unusual either. The website is updated daily with free rental car deals and you can sign up to our email notifications, Facebook page, Twitter profile or our blog to be notified when new hire cars, campers and motorhomes are added to the site.

Happy free travelling!
