Why Hire a 7-Seater Car

The more, the merrier, we say! Keep your team of 7 together in a roomy vehicle hire:

  • Flexible seats: SUVs and 4WD car rentals often have the flexibility to add or remove seats, giving you the flexibility to adjust your group plans on the road.
  • Drive the costs down: Turbocharge your budget by renting together and splitting the fuel between 7. Steer your savings into Kiwi activities instead.
  • Experience adventure together: Shift into shared memories and hit the road together. Whether it's a ski trip, a remote hiking experience, or a wedding event, you should keep the gang together. Open the road trip snacks, turn up the speakers, and take the scenic route as a group.
  • Family of 7 Fun: Buckle up the little ones and turn a mundane drive into an unforgettable Kiwi experience. With great safety features, boot space, and family car rental accessories like baby and booster seats, a 7-seater car rental could be a hassle-free solution to get your family moving.
  • Travel to events: Ramp up the excitement for any event by keeping the whole crew together. Whether it's a wedding party, sports game, or birthday trip, you can crank up the party tunes and cruise into the festivities as a group.

    Adrian

    Our first time in New Zealand and for a very special occasion - the wedding of my 2nd daughter. Had a fantastic time there, starting with the seamless, stress-free, and absolutely positive experience of picking up our GO Rentals SUV upon arrival at Queenstown Airport. With a full tank of petrol, we headed off for Wanaka to prepare for the celebrations. We spent about another 2 weeks touring the South Island, and the reliable Outlander took us everywhere. Looking forward to our return to Queenstown and another memorable trip & experience with GO.

    Josh

    One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to! We drove from Queenstown to Te Anau to spend the night before driving on to Milford Sound. We spent 4 hours in the car that day and the drive to and from the sound was almost as beautiful as the sound itself. Made all the more enjoyable in our comfortable Toyota SUV, which did the whole journey from QT to Milford and back on a single tank of petrol. Can’t ask for much more!

  • Two people walking on a snowy roadside with mountains in the background

    Michelle

    We found snow while travelling around Central Otago. It made our family reunion weekend even more perfect than I had thought possible. The van we hired allowed all of us to travel together in comfort. Thanks GO Rentals.

  • Three people lying on large round boulders at the beach under a cloudy sky

    Teresa

    For an adventure like this, we needed a car to match. GO left us a big and comfortable car capable of taking us to the most beautiful corners of the country. If we had been able to handle them, we would’ve even been able to fit a Moeraki rock in the boot!
