Vehicle rentals company, Jucy Rentals, will open a 60-room Jucy Hotel in the Auckland CBD this month.
Jucy CEO Tim Alpe says the move into hotels is a natural extension of the brand.
Alpe says the hotel business is adopting a pay-as-you-go model, so guests will only pay for services that they decide use.
“We don’t want to lumber people with charges for services they’re not using – if they don’t want their room cleaned or serviced while they are staying for a few days, they shouldn’t be paying for it.
“This means guests can opt for wireless connections or late checkouts, but they get to make the choice.â€
Basic room rates start at NZ$49 a night for a private room with shared bathroom facilities or NZ$89 a night for a private room with an ensuite.
Complimentary offers for customers using both Jucy Rentals and the Jucy Hotel include a free night at the hotel for every 14 days of vehicle hire and 15 percent off the price of any room while hiring a Jucy car or campervan.
“The (hotel) renovation really captures the Jucy brand – it is a funky, fresh environment that makes use of the purple and green that you see on our cars and other offices.
“We’ve even got messages from Jucy Lucy on the walls, †said Alpe.
