About Ace Rental Cars

John Chatterley and Warrick Purdie founded Ace Rental Cars in 1987 in Auckland, New Zealand. It was started as a tourist rental service, known as Ace Tourist Rentals Ltd. Quick to identify the need of the hour to provide an affordable and convenient mobility solution to otherwise expensive car rentals, Ace started the car rental service by the name Ace Rental Cars.

The company was later bought by the car rental giant Hertz International in 2011. It currently operates as a subsidiary of Hertz. In 2003, Ace Rental Cars opened the doors in Australia by revealing the first branch in Brisbane after which there was no looking back for them. With approximately nine branches throughout New Zealand, including cities like Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Dunedin, etc., Ace Rental Cars is working towards offering the best car rental experience to customers at best value.
