How do I pick up a rental car at Queenstown Airport?

There is one terminal and a range of on-site car rental brands to select from at Queenstown Airport. See below for clear instructions on how to find Queenstown Airport’s car hire desks and where to pick up your rental car.

Queenstown Airport Terminal

  • Queenstown Airport Terminal

    Queenstown Airport has a single terminal building which services both domestic and international flights.

Pick up instructions

  • Is your rental company desk on-airport or off-airport?

    International and Domestic Terminal

    On airport
    At Queenstown Airport, you’ll find the on-airport hire car desks located in the terminal building near the domestic baggage claim area after you exit security and enter into arrivals.
  • Finalise your rental agreement and collect keys

    Once you are at the hire car company desk, you’ll need to finalise your rental agreement and collect your vehicle keys.
  • Head to the designated car park to pick up your car

    International and Domestic Terminal

    On airport
    The on-airport rental hire cars are parked outside the terminal in the rental car park. Once you receive your car keys from the rental desks, exit the terminal and follow the signs to the rental desk car park
    Off airport
    If you booked with an off-airport provider, you’ll need to catch a shuttle to the car rental provider’s premises near the airport.
  • What should I do if the desk is unattended?

    Hopefully the car rental company has left a sign with instructions or a contact number. In this situation, use the number they have provided and let them know that you have arrived or follow the directions out to the car park where a rental attendant will help you.

    If there is no sign, check your booking confirmation email for a contact phone number.

    If you still have no luck finding assistance, contact us. Don’t be alarmed. It’s not unusual to see unmanned desks, and rest assured there’s usually someone who can help out in the car park where the rental cars are located.

    We'll be right back

Returning a hire car at Queenstown Airport

  • On-airport

    To return your hire car, follow the signs for rental car returns, it is located just outside the terminal in the rental car park.

    Return your keys to the desk, and if the desk is unattended, or for after-hours returns, place the keys in the drop box located at the counter.

  • Off-airport

    There will be a courtesy shuttle to take you to the terminal building.

    For Apex, you’ll need to return your hire car to the Apex office at 32 Lucas Place, Frankston, Queenstown.
