We recently had our RYPEN Youth Programme with some support from local businesses.
Huge thanks to RaD Car Rentals Rotorua! 🚐🙌
We’re incredibly grateful to RaD Car Rentals Rotorua for generously supplying two vans to help transport students attending the RYPEN youth programme — a fantastic programme made possible through teamwork by the Rotorua Rotary Clubs.

Rotorua’s RaD Car Rentals’ support made a real difference, and we can’t speak highly enough of their community spirit. 💙

Next time you need a rental vehicle — whether it’s for a road trip, a work event, or just getting from A to B — consider RaD Rotorua. They’ve got a wide range of models to suit all needs and budgets.

Let’s support the businesses that support our youth!
