Ok guys we really have to move fast on this one. I just rang around 15 rental car places and the last one i rang is the best. BUT they only have ONE van left. Here are the details!
Piggy Packers Rentals
Driver must be 21+ with full license (standard)
10 Seater
$350 for 3 days
10 seater (possibly eleven - they might van swap)
$300 excess as long as 21+ with full license (awesome coz others are really anal with excess up to $2000 with some if driver under 21!)
$50 bond (cheapest around and refundable)
cash payment and do not require credit card etc.
here is individual price breakdown assuming 10 people and both ways:
$35 each for van
$5 each for bond
$30 each if we crash for insurance excess
$24 each for petrol there and back (at $120 each way)
$6 each for parking up there
TOTAL
$100 each (there and back!!)
Here is a comparrison...
$140 return for day train to auck EACH!
$120 return for night train to auck EACH!
$160 return on airnz to auck
ACCOMODATION
The backpackers posted on this forum is full - just called.
Auckland City Backpackers (ACB) has rooms
we can either split up and sleep in dorms with other people at...
$23 each per night (4-6 beds per room) or...
hire two rooms suiting 5 people at...
$144 per room per night
so....
$288 all up if we want to keep together which is roughly...
$30 per night.
IN CONCLUSION...
The cost will be roughly
$130 to...
get up there and back
park while we are there
sleep in the backpackers (if we want).
add $20 for lan fee...
and....
total is...
$150...
remember we still have to buy food and drink, so cost may range up to $200 depending on your budget. If you are keen (or still keen) let me know ASAP otherwise we can flag because we need to book soon.
Cheers,
Brendan
