Do car hire places have baby seats too?

When we went to NZ we hired our car through Budget and they only had forward-facing seats available.
I think there'd be few companies who wouldn't have seats available (although you may have to give them plenty of notice) but if you have a strong preference for a certain type of seat you may have to shop around or take your own as Brontide suggested.

I hired a car through Avis last year and got a seat no problems. It wasn't a real flash one though (but was still OK) and I had to put it in the car myself which was interesting with a seat and a car that I was not familiar with! I would take my own if at all possible, but if not make sure you tell them exactly what you need when you book the car. Good luck!

I have hired heaps of times - usually through Avis but sometimes Thrifty.
I usually call themand tell them the age of child and what configuration i want - including spacing of the straps and then i check it when i pick up the car. they are very happy to tighten it up etc i have found. i have never had any probs and have done rear facing and front facing. i also tell them where in the car i want it (ie benhind passenger or whatever)
