RWC New Zealand As the Rugby World cup kicks in, more questions are being raised about whether there will be any relocation vehicles, or any rental vehicles available at all for that matter, and if so from where. To be honest, I really do wish I had a crystal ball (as do many other businesses I’m sure) but I don’t (otherwise I would be filthy rich and not sitting at my desk right now :)). With an estimated 80,000 visitors said to be arriving into New Zealand for the World Cup Tournament, we can only...Read More

Hertz has recently developed a quiz that helps drivers determine what kind of driver they are and therefore what vehicle they should be renting.

A new landing pad for Spaceships and accommodation for wayward travellers

On the wake of the massive earthquake that hit Christchurch in recent weeks, many families and companies were forced to evacuate and abandon their premises, unable to return indefinitely.
