Ezi Car Rental is one of the only car rental companies that allow you to use our vehicles to tow your personal trailer.
Currently all our Toyota Hilux utes come with a towbar, so please see below for the towing capacity.
About the Toyota Hilux towing capacity
The Hilux 4WD Double Cab SR5 ute can tow a maximum of 3500kg (braked). The Hilux’s diesel engine holds the torque, which is why it thrives when towing trailers, boats or horse floats. Even in town the Hilux’s 450Nm of torque means it’s easier to accelerate away from traffic lights and sustain posted road speeds while carrying heavy loads in the tray.
If you require further information about towing, see the article below from the New Zealand Transport Authority.

If you choose to tow any item, please note in case of an incident/accident, you are liable for any damage occurring to your trailer and load.
I don’t see how the ‘big’ car rentals companies can compete with Ezi - they cannot be beaten for price, quality of cars, and customer service. On multiple occassions i have used they are 50% cheaper than the others, yet they are amazing! I will only ever use Ezi car when in new zealand..!
