Luxury and mobility merge with raw endurance as SIXT New Zealand, the rental car arm of Giltrap Group, is announced as the official rental vehicle and strategic partner of One NZ GODZONE, New Zealand’s most celebrated expedition racing event.

Bringing precision engineering and cutting-edge electrification to the wild heart of Aotearoa, SIXT NZ will support One NZ GODZONE athletes, crew, and spectators with its fleet of high-performance vehicles—from premium EVs to rugged SUVs, designed to handle everything from remote trailheads to urban adventures. Whether it’s the thrill of an Audi Q7 gliding through Queenstown or the resilience of a Land Rover Defender crawling toward check-in points, SIXT delivers style, speed, and reliability.

SIXT NZ General Manager, Robert Barlow says:
“GODZONE is about pushing boundaries—physically, mentally, and geographically. That’s precisely what SIXT is built for. As part of the Giltrap Group, we’re proud to offer customers who expect more from a rental car company an unrivalled premium and luxury fleet in New Zealand. Partnering with GODZONE is a natural extension of our commitment to delivering exceptional vehicles and experiences.”

Rob Nichol from the PURE ADVENTURE Charitable Trust says:
“As soon as we connected with the Giltrap Group it was obvious we had strong alignment and a shared desire for the return of One NZ GODZONE along with inspiring people to look after themselves, make the most of the New Zealand outdoors and showcase our amazing country to the world. We are thankful to the Giltrap team for backing the event and committing to what will be a fantastic partnership.”

“As the group organising One NZ GODZONE we have already experienced SIXT’S outstanding customer service first hand, and it turned out to be a bit of a life saver on one of our course recce’s in Marlborough,” says Nichol. “ Having access to the SIXT rental fleet is crucial in staging an event like One NZ GODZONE and this partnership allows our top event crew including safety, course design and race management teams to travel in safety and comfort throughout the eight day race.”

With a shared spirit of excellence and adventure, the partnership promises a seamless fusion of technology and terrain—enabling racers, organisers, and fans to move smarter, faster, and farther via our global network.
