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.
