The Team at Pegasus Picton welcome you to Picton, gateway to Blenheim, the Marlborough Sounds and your travels throughout the South Island by rental car.![]()
Picton is situated at the head of the Queen Charlotte Sound, one of three sounds, which make up the Marlborough Sounds. Queen Charlotte Sound is by far the busiest of the three sounds as it is the main thoroughfare for the interisland ferries which provide passengers, car and rail transport to Wellington.
The Marlborough Sounds are renown for the opportunity they provide for outdoor activities. Fishing, boating, walking, tramping, kayaking and cycling are popular with overseas tourist and locals. The Queen Charlotte Track attracts thousands of people each year. A great way to see this is by getting a rental car and driving the Queen Charlotte Drive and over to Portage.
Marlborough and Nelson are the sunniest places in New Zealand and compete each year for that award.
Within an hour's drive are Marlborough Wineries, craft galleries and a two hour journey by car, bus or train takes you to Kaikoura where whales and dolphins provide spectacular entertainment. Being Picton based for your Marlborough Short Break gives you the freedom to explore the Wines of Marlborough and the beauty of the Queen Charlotte Sounds.

“ I rented a car through you earlier this year. You were extremely kind and very helpful when I was out there and as a result of your fab service I understand my mother has rented a car this month from you whilst she is in NZ. My boyfriend and I have now decided to have a trip out to NZ in October and we will subsequently need a rental car for the duration of our stay. ”
