On disembarking our cruise ship, Pegasus staff were easy to find in the cruise terminal. Having booked and signed the rental agreement online, there was a minimum of delay in setting off in our allocated car. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The car was good and as expected. We will use Pegasus again in Port Chalmers next February!

Great service. Small but very spacious little economy car which was very comfortable. Next to the terminal so super convenient. Bit more pricy than the airport but if you come from a cruise ship I found it very good!

We spent one day in Dunedin on a cruise. As informed by email in advance, a very friendly gentleman was waiting for us at the cruise terminal and walked us to our car. The whole experience was super easy and fast. We left the car at the port at the end of the day. Easy, no fuss.
