Hireace offers one-way hire between its main branches — Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown — with select routes extending further into the South Island (Blenheim, Timaru, Dunedin, Gore and Invercargill), making it a practical option for intercity moves, deliveries and relocations.
Why Does One-Way Flexibility Matter for Businesses and Individuals?
One-way hire removes the cost and time of driving a vehicle back to its starting point, which matters whether you’re a business repositioning a fleet vehicle, a tradie finishing a job in another city, or someone relocating for work or study. Instead of budgeting for a return trip you don’t actually need, you pick up in one city and hand the vehicle back in another.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cities does Hireace support for one-way hire?
Hireace offers one-way hire between Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Queenstown and Christchurch, with extended one-way routes on trucks and cargo vans to Blenheim, Timaru, Dunedin, Gore and Invercargill.
Does a one-way hire cost more than a standard round-trip hire?
A one-way fee and minimum hire period typically apply to intercity routes, so it’s worth confirming the total cost at booking rather than assuming standard daily rates carry over unchanged.
Is mileage unlimited on a one-way van or truck hire?
Standard cargo vans include free unlimited kilometres. Trucks can be booked on either a per-km rate or an unlimited-km option, with unlimited kms usually the better choice for longer one-way routes.
Can I decide to drop the vehicle at a different branch after picking it up?
No — this needs to be arranged with the team in advance, and extra charges may apply, since the provider needs to plan for the vehicle’s return to service at the new location.
Is one-way hire available on all vehicle types?
One-way hire is available across Hireace’s main branch network for most vehicle types, with extended South Island routes specifically covering trucks and cargo vans.
