HIRING A CAR SHOULDN'T

Hiring a car has always kind of ... sucked. It’s expensive, time-consuming and it always seems like the car rental companies are out to get you.

Snap was set up in 2013 to make car rental as easy & affordable as it should be – & we’re pretty happy with how it’s been going with over 6000+ 5 Star Reviews (and counting!)

What most people don’t realise is that car rental is surprisingly bad for the environment – the average rental car pumps 3.5x more bad gas into our atmosphere than most NZ vehicles.

So now we’re looking to make car rental as sustainable as it should be too!
