Meet Mark, General Manager of Evolve Rentals, the story behind Queenstown's original delivery car rental service and what makes it different.
Meet Mark, the General Manager of Evolve Rentals!
How Evolve Rentals Started
Originally from the UK, Mark has proudly called Queenstown home for over 10 years and brings over a decade of experience in the automotive industry. Evolve Rentals was born from discussions between Mark and his tourism expert friends turned business partners, about the convenience of a delivery car rental service operating in Queenstown. Together, we saw a gap in the market and seized the opportunity to create Queenstown's original door to door delivery rental car service.
What We Set Out to Build
As avid travellers ourselves, we set out to build a rental car company that aligns with our own travel preferences. That's why, at Evolve, we prioritise stress free travel for all types of travellers, no lines and no hassles. Every rental includes unlimited mileage and free additional drivers as standard, and our full cover option adds 24 hour roadside assistance with a zero excess and no bond, exactly what we'd want when renting a car ourselves.
How Does the Delivery Actually Work?
The handover is a proper one. Your car is brought to your hotel or apartment, and during working hours one of our team hands you the keys and runs you through everything in person. Arriving out of hours, the keys can be left with the concierge and the car is there waiting for you.
If you would rather meet in town, our drop point is on Athol Street right in the middle of Queenstown. And if it is easier to collect, our office is at 153B Glenda Drive in Frankton, a few minutes from the airport.
Where a Car Takes You
Whether you're a first time visitor to Queenstown or a regular business traveller, Evolve Rentals offers the easiest and most convenient rental car hire in Queenstown. Having a reliable car is essential for exploring the best spots near Queenstown, like Arrowtown, Glenorchy and Wanaka. And with unlimited mileage, we can take you on epic road trips across the South Island, from Queenstown to Franz Josef, Mount Cook, and beyond.
What About Auckland?
We are in Auckland too, based right in the CBD, where you collect from us rather than us delivering. Handy if you are flying in and heading straight out of the city, and there is plenty within reach once you have the keys. Our guide to the best weekend road trips from Auckland is a good place to start.
So why wait in line at the Queenstown Airport with other rental car companies? Book with Evolve Rentals and experience travel the way it should be, stress free and unforgettable. Mark and the team look forward to meeting you at your chosen pick up location.
FAQs
Where do I collect my Evolve rental car in Queenstown?
Wherever suits you. Most customers have it delivered to their accommodation, we can bring it to our Athol Street drop point in the middle of town, or you can collect from our office at 153B Glenda Drive in Frankton.
What if my flight lands late?
The car will be waiting at your accommodation with the keys left with the concierge, or ready at our office for an easy collection. Let us know your flight when you book and it is arranged in advance.
What's included with an Evolve Rentals hire car?
Unlimited mileage and free additional drivers are included as standard on every booking, and additional drivers go on the check in form at the same time as the main driver. Our full cover option adds 24 hour roadside assistance, a zero excess and no bond.
Does Evolve deliver in Auckland?
No. Auckland is collection only, from our CBD base. Delivery is a Queenstown service.
Can I use an Evolve Rentals car for a South Island road trip?
Yes. With unlimited mileage, customers regularly use their rental for longer trips across the South Island, including to Franz Josef and Mount Cook.
