Default Holiday house letting companies

Can anyone recommend a good holiday house letting company. We are coming over to Christchurch next month for 2 weeks and want to rent a house to sleep 6 to use as a base for 11 nights. Have looked on TradeMe but they seem to be through estate agents longer term lets.

OH have a series of interviews so finger crossed this will result in a job offer to speed the visa along.

Also, anyone know of any good car rental companies, have found a good deal for a people carrier over here, but wondered if I could better it by booking direct.

Thanks

If you are going through Holiday Autos in the UK then there isn't going to be much to beat them within their class of company - ie top notch, on airport, etc - they use Thrify in NZ and they are pretty good IMHO. Some local smaller companies offer cheaper deals but not sure that they are going to be better if you are on a reccie and hence don't need the hassle of a breakdown, etc. We've used Thrifty in Chch, Akl, etc Budget/Avis in Gisborne and Palmerston North and used smaller rent-a-dent operators in Akl, horses for courses.... I'd tend to go with Thrifty myself.

As far as Holiday Autos goes they will be close to Thrifty (direct) in price - compare their quote with the thfity.co.nz website. Bear in mind that our old UK friends who were senior in Hertz and got their discount used to book via Holiday Autos for their private trips abroad.......
