This is the second year that Thrifty has run a car auction in an effort to support Surf Life Saving New Zealand.
Thrifty Car Rental NZ General Manager Emma Gardiner says Thrifty is pleased to once again be running this auction and helping to support our 'heroes of the beach'.
"Last year's auction successfully helped raise much needed funds for SLSNZ and we're delighted to be able to undertake the auction again. It's also our chance to proactively give back to the communities and customers we serve in a really meaningful way," she said.
Surf Life Saving New Zealand CEO Paul Dalton says he is grateful to Thrifty for undertaking the auction. The organisation is dependent on its sponsors and partners like Thrifty, along with the general public, to keep its lifeguards trained and on patrol.
"Over 1,300 people made it home to their families safe and sound last summer thanks to the efforts of the country's surf lifeguards, he says.
"We hope the auction will once again raise significant funds so our lifeguards are there for their communities when they're needed next summer."
The vehicle auction is now live at http://trade.me/Thrifty and closes at 8pm on Wednesday August 12.
