A Warm Welcome to the new-style Premier Car Hire. It's now more than 18 years since Irene Morrison, still our Managing Director today, set-up one of the United Kingdom's first independant car hire brokers. In a world increasingly dominated by vertically integrated travel corporations trying to palm you off with their "in-house" car company or make a quick buck for an "add-on" sale, it's nice to know you're dealing with real travel industry professionals. At Premier, we live and breathe car hire. We do one thing. We do it perfectly, every time.
Our new site marks our joint venture with CarJet.com, Spain's Nş#1 car hire company, to bring together the worldwide in-depth experience of Premier and the state-of-the-art booking technology that has become the trademark of CarJet.com in recent years. Our new look is more than just a cosmetic change : it allows us to assist customers in real-time worldwide with overheads that are the envy of the industry - which translates into rock-bottom prices. In a fast-changing and demanding world of low-cost aviation, we want to become your preferred car hire partner wherever your travels take you. We don't apply cancellation charges and instead of giving you grief when you need to change something, you'll find we're here ready to help when you suddenly need to reorganise your travel plans.
"... This page contains our great low-cost car hire deals at Greymouth on the new PremierCarJet network in New Zealand. Please remember that despite all the new technology, we're still available by telephone (at no extra cost!) to help you make the best possible choice for your next trip.

We strongly recommend that you park the vehicle in supervised car parks/garages in the major cities and never leave any personal item inside the car hire vehicle.

Buy-out of the Vehicle's Insurance Excess
The car hire vehicles at Greymouth are sold with an insurance excess. This is explained in the section Whats's Not Included? above.Instead of leaving a credit card deposit to cover your car hire insurance excess at Greymouth, you may opt to purchase additional insurance locally to "buy-out" the excess value - effectively removing your liability for vehicle bodywork damage. This option, depending on the car hire vehicle selected, costs between NZD 21.38 and NZD 21.38 per per day. You do not need to prebook insurance excess buy-out, simply decide and pay locally on arrival at the car hire station in Greymouth when you arrive in New Zealand.
Purchasing insurance excess buy-out is not a "licence to kill" and you will still be responsible for items like tyre, wheel, glasss or damage to the underside of the car hire vehicle. The car hire company may still require you to leave a credit card imprint to cover extensions to your car hire contract or traffic fines. See our section What's Not Included for further details.
Ski Racks
Snow Chains
Snow chains are available as an optional extra at Greymouth. Snow chains are fitted by the renter to the car where there is excesive snow/ice on the roads and only when advised to do so by the car hire company or local police. Please be aware that driving a vehicle with snow chains on normal roads (where there is no snow or ice) will quickly result in blow-outs/punctures(which you as a renter are responsible for). Unless you are familiar with the use of snow chains, we recommend that you don't order this item.
