Meet Joe Birch from our Auckland HQ 👋 With over 2½ years under his belt as Fleet Administration Assistant, he's the mastermind behind getting our cars in exactly the right place at the right time across the motu. Joe loves the people and atmosphere at GO – "everyone's so easy to get on with and always willing to lend a hand when needed." It's that team spirit that makes coming to work a joy! His GO ride of choice is the Toyota New Zealand Limited RAV4 Hybrid – "pretty practical, not too big, not too small, plus you'll save on fuel economy with the hybrid!". And his favourite hidden gem in Aotearoa is the Blue Pools in Mount Aspiring National Park 💙 Check out the video for some quickfire questions with Joe too! 🎥

At GO, we've set our sights on being one of Aotearoa's top employers - and we've just reached an exciting milestone on this journey! We're thrilled to share that we've been shortlisted for the 2025 Best Places to Work™ Awards in the Medium Business Category 🏆 As last years Employer of Choice at the Tourism Industry Aotearoa NZ Tourism Awards, this recognition means a lot - and its proof of the strong, people-first culture we're continuing to build every day. Because at GO Rentals, helping Kiwis and manuhiri explore the big backyard is what drives us, and none of it would be possible without a passionate, dedicated team that's always ready to GO the extra mile 🩷.

Meet Jonti from our Nelson branch 👋 Making a big impact in just a few months, he's a pro at prepping vehicles and helping customers with smooth pick-ups and drop-offs. Jonti loves making the most of Nelson Tasman's incredible outdoors. His local tip if you're looking to cool off on a hot day - the Lee River and the Aniseed Valley have the perfect swimming holes to make a splash! His car of choice? The Toyota New Zealand Limited Corolla Cross – "perfect for tall people like me, and being hybrid means you won't spend too much on petrol!"

It's been a blast having all our Branch Managers from across the country in one place for Branch Managers Conference! Leading the way and setting the standard for GO's award-winning workplace culture and customer service, these managers are the heart of everything we do. Seeing all our branches represented in one room and hearing all their fantastic updates reminded us what we're all about – connecting Kiwis and visitors with great road trip experiences, one rental at a time. A huge congratulations to Kent Smith and the Queenstown Airport (ZQN) branch team who took out branch of the year, and to Gemma Wells (AKL City) who won our inhouse NPS Champions Cup! Here's to another year of GO-ing the extra mile! 🚗 #GORentalsNZ #BranchManagerConference #AchievingExcellence
Today we kicked off our 29th Branch Managers conference in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland and as always it’s just such a joy to have our team from all across the country all in the room. We started our day with an incredible visit to Tourism Holdings Limited where we were very lucky to be hosted by Grant Webster and Matt Harvey at their amazing new facility. The afternoon was spent back in the war room at GO HQ plotting the battle ahead! #goalltheway

Another terrific TRENZ in the bag, and a fantastic few days of networking with familiar faces and new connections in the industry. Rotorua turned on the welcome, providing the perfect platform for our sales team Craig Smith and Lauren Campbell to meet with travel buyers, and James Dalglish to deliver a brilliant TRENZ Talk on our Employer of Choice story. Big thanks to Tourism Industry Aotearoa and RotoruaNZ for being the hosts with the most - see everyone again next year! #GORentalsNZ #TRENZ25 #TourismNZ
Fantastic to be back in Rotorua for #TRENZ2025 where the conversation is all about Tourism in Aotearoa New Zealand! This morning at the TIA media briefing we’ve heard from Christopher Luxon around this governments support for our sector and Rebecca Ingram with TIAs view for the future of tourism! Oh and Craig Smith and I managed a ride around the Redwoods before breakfast too. #nztourism #goalltheway
