Budget are partners in the Air New Zealand Airpoints™ programme, so you can collect Airpoints Dollars™ when you rent from any one of our Budget locations in New Zealand, Australia or the Pacific, or from any Budget airport location worldwide, except Alaska.

Simply quote your Air New Zealand Airpoints number at the time of booking or when you collect your rental and you'll earn Airpoints Dollars on any qualifying rentals.

Air New Zealand Airpoints members wanting to make rental vehicle reservations can call Budget on 0800 58 58 58 or +64 9 526 3243.

Members earn 2.50 Airport Dollars per day's rental, on all qualifying rentals.

From 1 November 2018, you can no longer earn New Zealand Fly Buys points.  We have a multitude of other reward partners where you can earn great benefits on your next rental. 

Yes, if you're a member of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program you can earn 700 Qantas Frequent Flyer points per rental on qualifying rentals from participating Budget New Zealand rental locations.
