Every brand, ranked

Ranked by customer rating, adjusted for how many reviews sit behind it. Price vs market compares each brand's median price with the market median for the same car type and pick-up day. These are advertised prices: very low ones often carry a bigger deposit, excess or fuel policy.

How we got these numbers

  • Rates: public search results on rentalcars.com for Auckland Airport, one search per pick-up day, 3-day hire, driver aged 30, up to 500 offers per search as the site returns them. Daily rate = total price ÷ 3. These are advertised prices, not what customers end up paying.
  • Ratings: the customer review scores rentalcars.com shows for each desk, weighted by review count. The rank shrinks small review counts towards the airport average, so 30 glowing reviews don't outrank 3,000 good ones.
  • Advantages and disadvantages: any part of the hire scoring at least 0.3 above or below the airport average, prices at least 10% below or above market, and desk location.
  • Events: confirmed from official or reputable sources for these dates; scored for likely car hire lift by Jev (TypeSafe). Holidays from Nager.Date and OpenHolidays.
  • Not affiliated with rentalcars.com, Booking.com or any brand listed. Full method.
