Locally Owned.
South Island Wide Service.
At Smiths Auto Rentals, we’re proud to be a family-run business with deep roots in the Timaru community. Owned and operated by brothers Neville and Colin Smith—both born and bred in Timaru—we bring over 50 years of combined experience in the vehicle rental industry. That local knowledge and hands-on expertise mean you get more than just a rental vehicle; you get genuine service from people who know the roads, the region, and what Kiwi drivers need.
Whether you’re hiring for work, travel, or group transport, we make it easy with a well-maintained fleet, fair pricing, and flexible service that spans the entire South Island. From personal cars to vans, trucks, and trailers, our goal is to keep you moving with confidence—backed by the trusted name of a local business that’s been around the block and still puts people first.
