I have my second Dunedin-Queenstown trip coming up this weekend, but due to some student holidays, no car-rentals are available.

Flight is booked, so scrambling to find an alternative to get from Dunedin to Queenstown late on the Friday night or early Saturday morning.

Does NZ have any ride-sharing sites or online forums which may be of assistance?

The solution on short notice was to change Google search criteria to something along the lines of "private car hire Dunedin", which resulted in a chauffeur service which also rented their executive cars. With full insurance, it resulted in about 4 times the price of a cheap rental agency, but was a very safe and well handling car.

As you noted the bus times aren't ideal, InterCity has a bus that leaves daily in the afternoon, as does Alpine Connexions.

It looks like Atomic Travel does have a morning, albeit not early morning, bus: 10:00 Dunedin - (via Cromwell) - Wanaka 14:30.
