USAVE Van & Truck Rentals is a New Zealand family owned and operated business with locations in Christchurch, Dunedin, Auckland and Palmerston North.
The company is headed by Andrew Strong and was originally a part of the Strong Group of Companies with extensive interests in the motor trade. USAVE was originally established over 15 years ago to offer an alternative to the more expensive, less personal multi-national rental operators entering New Zealand.
Our large range of van and truck rental vehicles are expertly maintained and presented by our own team of mechanics and groomers. As a family owned company, we are committed to high service standards and excellent value for money for our customers.
Our growing team has a wide range of experience and knowledge of rental vehicles, New Zealand, motoring and finance. We love helping people with their van and truck rentals and providing advice on moving furniture, equipment and goods.

Andrew speaks Japanese and has a Bachelor of Business Studies majoring in Marketing and began his working career in banking. Andrew has been Director of NZ rental car companies for more than twenty years. Andrew loves following the rugby, cricket and various motorsports and is keen on hunting, fishing and motorcycling (both sports and adventure bikes).
