RVA membership is a key ingredient shared by successful rental vehicle businesses in New Zealand. Joining the RVA gives you access to a wealth of knowledge and the ability to network with other like-minded business leaders. Over the years the association has gone from strength to strength, becoming like a large family.

Membership is open to any person or body corporate engaged in the business of vehicle rental, share or leasing in New Zealand who holds an active rental service licence (TSL) pursuant to the Land Transport Rule: Operator Licensing 2017. We can share membership information while a TSL application is in progress, but a membership application can only proceed once the licence is active.

Members of the association include rental vehicle operators of all sizes, from the large multi-national companies through to smaller, boutique local providers.

Our members hire out all manner of passenger vehicles, including EVs, hybrids, SUVs, minibuses, vans, coaches, trucks, campervans and motorcycles.

Members agree to be bound by the Association’s Constitution and Code of Conduct, an approach designed to reflect well on our industry. Subscription fees are based on annual New Zealand rental and mobility revenue (see the current fee schedule), and may be paid monthly or annually.

There are lots of great benefits available if you join the RVA. You’ll become one of many other businesses who see genuine value in being part of a progressive industry association. If you want to know more, or discuss whether membership would be right for you, then contact us.

Members of the RVA operate in a highly regulated environment, so a steady flow of information from the association is crucial. As well as weekly and monthly newsletters and an archive of fact sheets, members benefit from an annual conference covering topical issues and strategic insights. We also offer seminars and workshops where members can participate in decision making and hear first-hand from the regulators about decisions affecting their businesses.

Some of the other key benefits we provide include access to legal opinion, rental agreement templates, and other services.
