The Cross Country Rentals story

Cross Country Rentals was founded in 1957 by Geoff Laugesen who after returning from World War 2, and seeing the utility of the Land Rover, had the idea to import and sell them in New Zealand. Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for us, depression hit and nobody was looking for new vehicles, so changing tact, Cross Country Rentals was born!

Fast forward a decade or two… Family owned bus business Tranzit acquired the Masterton based Cross Country Rentals in 2010 and we have never looked back!

Since then, we have grown from one little branch in Masterton with 30 vehicle, to nationwide coverage, with 12 locations and over 1200 vehicles on the road!

With a diverse fleet of Cars, 4WD Utes, Vans, Mini Buses, trucks and trailers, we can focuss on what we do best - Connecting people with the vehicle that suits their needs.

Honesty, trust and no fuss is at the core of our service. We guarantee you will receive the best service, and always with a smile.
