“Or similar” refers to how our rental providers classify cars. Please be advised they cannot guarantee that a specific car model will be available. Partners categorise similar models into “vehicle groups” and confirm availability on this basis. Our team are available to contact the depot on your behalf where you are picking up your vehicle to enquire what models are available under the vehicle group you booked. Please contact customer support for further information.

Local expert tips for hiring a car in Auckland
Toll payments
The Northern Gateway Toll Road is the only toll road you will encounter in downtown Auckland, though there are also toll roads in and around Tauranga. Don’t forget to discuss toll payment options with your vehicle provider upon pickup.
Peak hour traffic
Auckland is a bustling city and traffic can be heavy during peak traffic times. Allow for additional travel time when driving in the city from 6:30 am to 9:30 am, and from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Parking discounts and pre-booking offers
Auckland has several downtown parking lots that you can pay an hourly or daily fee to use, and there are public parking lots on both George and Customs streets. Many central hotels may offer parking for a fee, but check online for special offers or discounts, as operators may offer a lower price for online pre-booking.
Flexible one-way car rentals
Planning to get a one-way car rental for an interstate trip? You can book a hire car in Auckland and return it to another location. Just untick the “Return to the same location” option in our search form and select your preferred return location.
Auckland driving tips
In New Zealand you drive on the left-hand side of the road, use roundabouts in a clockwise direction, and the maximum speed limit in urban areas is typically 50 km/h, 100 km/h on open roads, and some expressways allow 110 km/h. It is illegal to use your mobile phone while driving. Learn more about driving in New Zealand.
Save on fuel cost
It’s important to return your hire car with a full tank of fuel to avoid extra fees. With so many service stations in Auckland, it can be hard to know where to find the best deal on petrol.
