inReach hire devices from KT Services
Make your adventure into the great outdoors even better with an InReach hire device. And leave the maintenance to us!
Reliable communication is critical when you’re in the great outdoors. KT Services offer an extensive range of quality communication devices for hire, so you can enjoy your adventure knowing that you have a direct line to emergency services if required. We’ve handpicked these devices for their reliable communication across all mobile phone networks, no matter where you are in New Zealand. Essential for marine, backcountry, and alpine environments.
The Garmin inReach Mini is ideal for keeping in contact with family and friends when you’re out of cellphone range. It can also send your contacts a tracking map so they can follow your travels each day.
The Garmin 66I offers even greater functionality, including full NZ topo maps, trackback and GoTo for full navigation, along with all other standard Garmin GPSMAP features.
Both the 66i and the MINI have an SOS feature that goes directly to NZRCC and the TrackMe response centre. When activated, users will have fast access to emergency services and direct contact with relevant responders so that the correct resources can be sent.
Both units can also provide information on local weather forecasts, which can be lifesaving. (Note: this feature uses data).
Hires include fair use of plan/data and access to your own tracking map so that contacts can see where you are.
inReach devices are critical for any outdoor enthusiast. Roam where you please knowing that you have a direct link to SOS services, along with communication, navigation, and location sharing. Ideal for those who love to get off-grid but need to keep their loved ones in the loop!
PLB Hire
ACR PLB 400 is a fantastic device if you want to remain off-grid but have a backup plan should something go wrong during your adventures. Nice and compact, it comes in its own pouch and can be set off one-handed.
Rino Hire
Need a 2-way radio and GPS mapping? How about both in one device? You can also track your tramping or hunting mates on screen if they are all using a Garmin Rino and within range. Ideal for groups who wander in different directions.

Hire time frames are based on usage times. We do allow 2 – 3 days for the courier, and in some cases, you can pick it up from our North Auckland office.
If you are unable to return the device to KT Services within 2 – 3 days of use or need it earlier than your “usage” time, please advise us, and we can adjust the rental period (this may involve extra costs).
KT Services will charge a courier fee to ship the device to you. The return courier is at your cost.
If you wish to hire for a longer period, please contact us. We can discuss options and pricing.
*$25 admin fee will be charged per device if your trip cancels and you no longer need the device. If you re-book at a later date, this charge may still stand as the devices still need to be re-configured.
