Deposits and licences

One hire operator asks for a NZ$200 cash deposit, so check the deposit before you book. Anyone carrying fishing gear must carry a valid New Zealand Sports Fishing Licence, of any age, or be named on a family licence with the primary holder present. A personal locator beacon must be registered with the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand, and each beacon has its own unique code.

Season and what to hire

Summer runs from December to February, the warmest months, and winter from June to August is cold. Ask for sleeping bags and tents rated for the season you will use them, and bring warm layers for winter trips. For a multi-day trip, state the hire period in days so the price is quoted for the right term.

Delivery and how it is quoted

Hire is usually quoted per day, per night or per person, so compare offers on the same term. Ask whether the firm delivers or whether you collect, and where the gear is kept in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga. Give quantities and specifications, such as tent size in persons, pack size in litres and weights in kilograms.

Describe what you want to hire, the dates or hire period, your city and the deposit you can accept in a chat on BlaBlaPrice. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply with their own offer and terms, and your contacts stay hidden. For related hire see equipment hire or event supplies hire.
