Road user charges - See Road User Charges section below.
Road User Charges (RUCs)
Anyone using New Zealand’s roads contributes towards their upkeep. Most road users pay levies when they buy fuel. Others, including drivers of diesel vehicles, pay through Road User Charges (RUC). You can read more about this on the New Zealand government's NZTA website. All Star RV vehicles use diesel and therefore RUC apply.
We do not include these Road User Charges (RUC) in the daily hire rate. This means you will only pay for the kilometres you travel and we can offer you our lowest hire fee.
Your Road User Charges will be calculated at the end of your hire from your final odometer reading.
We will confirm your final odometer reading and total kilometres travelled when you return your vehicle, and will invoice you for the RUC fee once your hire is complete.
Star RV Rates:
Based off NZ RUC rates at end of hire ($76 per 1000km in late 2023).
