Why rent a car in Auckland?

Auckland is a massive, sprawling city that is modeled after Los Angeles in many ways and its dependency on cars as the primary mode of transportation. Many sights lie outside of the center of the city. Additionally, most tourists visit Auckland and New Zealand for its nature. By far the best way to experience the mountains, volcanoes, and stunning coastline is to have a rental car.

Top ways to enter Auckland

Most visitors from abroad will enter New Zealand through the international terminal Auckland Airport. The airport also has a domestic terminal. The largest rental car providers have desks in the terminal. The desks are located on the ground level next to the arrivals area in the international terminal and on the ground floor of the parking building across from the domestic terminal. 

The Northern Explorer train starts in Wellington and ends at Strand Station near the Central Business District in Auckland. The train passes through every type of natural environment in the country, including coastal areas, mountains, and farmland. Strand Station is located near all of the downtown offices of rental companies. 

Auckland is a popular city for embarking and disembarking of cruise ships that travel around New Zealand, Australia, and Polynesia. Ships dock in the harbor at Queens Wharf. While rental offices are not available at the port, they can be found nearby in the area of the Central Business District. 

New Zealand’s north island has a well-connected road network, allowing travelers the option of exploring the country via its motorways. Those landing in Wellington can expect an 8 hour drive via the main State Highway 1. The North Island is also connected to the South via a convenient ferry network over the Cook Strait. The Interislander ferry operates several times a day, taking passengers and vehicles between Picton and Wellington. 

City facts

Aukland is New Zealand’s largest city, almost a third of New Zealand’s population inhabit it. The city has the largest population of Polynesians in the world.  It also has significant populations of Asians and other Pacific Islanders, which particularly became the case after the removal of immigration restrictions based on race. 

First settled by Maori tribes hundreds of years ago, Auckland saw the first European settlers after 1800. From 1842 to 1865, Aukland was the capital of what was then the Colony of New Zealand. Even before it became the capital, it was understood that Wellington would serve the function better given its proximity to the South Island. During the early 20th century, the city would develop based on trams and rail lines. However, it would later follow the expansion and development of Los Angeles with its reliance on cars. Today, Auckland is a massive, sprawling city with many suburbs.  

Auckland experiences an oceanic climate. This means that there is not a truly bad time of the year to visit, though for swimming summer is better. During summer, highs are usually around 23°C (73°F) and the water temperature of the sea is around 21°C (70°F). During winter the average high is around 14°C (57°C). Summers generally see high humidity and though it tends to rain often in winter, travelers can expect not to see any snow. The city occasionally experiences smog on winter days. Auckland also has the lowest risk of earthquakes in the country, having experienced its last significant one in 1840.

Top destinations and activities

  • Auckland Museum - More formally known as the Auckland War Memorial Museum, the museum is the most important museum in the country. Visitors shouldn’t be fooled by its formal name, it is not just a war museum. It seeks to tell the story of New Zealand and its people. Visitors can find collections concerning the history of the Māori people, New Zealand in World War One, and the natural history of the country. 
  • Auckland Art Gallery - The premier art museum in the country, the art gallery hosts both national and international pieces. The museum consists of two buildings, one old and one modern. The modern building is worth visiting in its own right for its architectural design. Entrance to the gallery is free for residents of New Zealand. Other art galleries, hosting modern art, can also be found in the city. 
  • Sky Tower - The iconic tower in the center of the city, the Sky Tower offers visitors the chance to enjoy panoramic views of the city and its surroundings from two different heights, the main observation level at 186 meters and the Sky Deck at 220 meters. A 360-degree rotating restaurant and cafe are also located in the tower. The adrenaline loving can bungee jump off the tower (don’t a control cable makes sure you don’t crash into the tower) or walk on the around the top of the tower. 
  • Volcanoes - Auckland sits on the Auckland Volcanic Field and as such more than 50 volcanoes are located in and around the city (don’t worry, though, none are expected to erupt).  The cones of some of the volcanoes make for both good hikes and great views from the top. Mount Eden and One Tree Hill are examples of these, both providing amazing views of the city. 
  • Beaches - Auckland is one of the few cities in the world having harbors on two seas or oceans. This gives the cities an almost endless coastline. While more pristine beaches lie outside of the city, in it one can find beaches that aren’t to scoff at too. The Mission Bay and Davenport beaches offer views of the city and the bay in addition to nice sand. Further to the north, Takapuna Beach is a prime location for families. See the day trip section below for those beaches lying outside the city. 
  • Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life- Sea Life is another popular destination for families. The aquarium has habitats for penguins, sharks, turtles and more. Visitors move along conveyor belts under the curved sea exhibitions. It also offers opportunities to experience a penguin colony close-up and to snorkel in a cage with sharks and sting-rays. 
  • Eden Park - New Zealand’s largest sports stadium hosts cricket and rugby matches. The stadium is the home ground of the Auckland Blues rugby union team. New Zealand’s infamous All Blacks also play at the grounds regularly. In summer the Auckland Aces play cricket in the stadium. 

Traffic and parking

Driving is on the left-hand side of the road in New Zealand. It doesn’t seem like it would ever be forgotten, but there have been many cases of tourists driving on the wrong side of the road. 

As with any large city, traffic congestion is a problem, particularly given the spread out nature of the city (being modeled on Los Angeles). On the Harbor Bridge of the Northern Motorway center lanes are reversed depending on which direction the congestion is greater. 

While driving is permitted on two of Auckland’s beaches, it's not permitted with your rental vehicle. It is also prohibited in most cases to travel on unsealed roads, offroad, and above the snow line. 

The city center has multiple parking zones. Parking in metered spots is unlimited when it comes to time, though it is more expensive for longer stays. Parking can be paid either by a phone app or with the car’s license plate number at a machine. The parking meter machines accept coins and credit cars. The city center also has various car parks, some managed by the city. Some hotels in the Central Business District may charge for parking, others, particularly outside of the center do not.  

Toll roads

All of the toll roads in New Zealand are in the northern part of the North Island. They all serve as short bypasses of congested areas. The tolls are therefore quite low. The toll roads use a license plate capturing system with no physical booths. Payment can be made either by having a setup account, by paying online before or within five days of using a toll road, or with cash in some BP and Caltex petrol stations (though a small fee will be added). 

Many rental companies offer some system, with a fee, to pass on toll payments to you without you having to do anything. Of course, it may be better just to pay the toll yourself and save on paying that fee. The toll roads can all be avoided quite easily by avoiding the bypass roads and transiting through the towns (in addition to being able to see more). 

Ideas for day trips

  • Rangitoto Island - Travelers can take a 20-minute ferry ride to reach Rangitoto Island, a nature reserve in the Gulf. The island is a volcano that has only been out of the sea for six hundred years. A trail leads from the ferry port to the summit with about an hour needed for the ascent. There is also a causeway leading to the older island of Motutapu. Vehicles are not allowed on the island and there is no overnight accommodation. Be sure to make it to the last ferry before its departure time. 
  • Waiheke Island -  A 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland in the Hauraki Gulf, Waiheke is a popular destination for foreign visitors and local residents, alike. The island has many sandy beaches that are relatively uncrowded. It is also known for its wineries, many of which can be visited for tastings. While there is a vehicle ferry, your supplier is unlikely to allow you to take your rental vehicle onboard. If you would like to drive around the island, rental cars are available near the port in Matiatia.
  • Hobbiton- The movie set used for the Hobbit village in all Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit film series can be found near Matamata, just a two-hour drive south of Auckland.  The set is open for visitors, but only via guided tours. The set is immaculately kept up and tours of it include the possibility for eating or drinking in the Green Inn. Given their popularity, advance booking of tours is highly suggested.
  • Caves and Caverns - Centered around city of Hamilton and the Waikato region is an area with many caves and caverns that can be visited. Of particular note are the Waitomo Caves known for its glowworms. Guided tours through three levels are available. The nearby Ruakuri Cave has waterfalls and special formations of limestones. 
  • More Beaches -  Though the beaches in the city itself can be quite nice, an abundance of pristine, uncrowded beaches are located near Auckland. These range from white-sand beaches with calm waters to rocky outcrops with world-class surfing conditions.  For example, Pakiri Beach, only 14km from the city, is as good of a beach as can be found anywhere. Additionally, Piha Beach, the most famous surf beach in the country, is only 40km west of the city. 
  • The Coromandel Peninsula. One of the most popular trips from the capital, Coromandel is to the west of Auckland and in good weather, can actually be seen on the other side of the Hauraki Gulf. The area is famous for its coves, coastline, scenic towns, and surfing, but it also offers some of the best hiking on the North Island, not least in the Coromandel Forest Park. The trip from Auckland to Thames, the biggest settlement on the peninsula, takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Most popular cars

The most popular class of rental car in New Zealand is the compact, of which the Nissan Tiida is an example. Given the proclivity for road trips that New Zealand gives travelers, full-size cars are the next most popular. The Toyota RAV4 SUV is the most popular full-size rental. Finally, the economy car, perfect for a couple’s road trip, is also popular. The Fiat Punto is a good example of this class of car. 

Further destinations

New Zealand is one of the world’s best road-trip destinations. With amazing natural beauty and unique cultural experiences, discovering the surrounding regions of the North and South island are best done by car.

  • Wellington - It takes around 8 hours to drive from Auckland to the country's capital, though only the time-constrained should even think of making the drive straight and miss the many sites and experience in between. With a picturesque harbor, history, fine dining, and a craft beer tradition, Wellington is not to be missed when traveling to New Zealand. The city also serves as the departing point of ferries to the South Island of the country with its incredible nature and mountains. 
  • Tongariro National Park -  This national park includes not just the volcano from whence it takes its name, but also two others, Mt. Ngauruhoe and Mt. Ruapehu. These volcanoes are of great significance to the local Maori people. As such, they were granted to the Crown to form a nature reserve in order to prevent them from being sold to the Europeans. Though not the namesake nor the highest one, Mt. Ngauruhoe is in some respects the most infamous of the three having served as the location for some of the shots in the Lord of the Rings trilogy standing in for Mt. Doom. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing pass between Mounts Tongariro and Ngauruhoe with the option to continue to the summit of either. 
  • Whanganui National Park - The park takes its name from the Whanganui River which it is centered upon. It is located about halfway between Auckland and Wellington in the center of the North Island. The park is both rich in history and nature. From family-friendly activities to extreme adventure, the park has something to offer any traveler. The highlight is certainly the Whanganui Journey, paddling down the Whanganui River. 
  • Egmont National Park - Centered upon Mount Egmont, or Mount Taranaki in Maori, a 2,518 meter dormant volcano, the national park also includes the surrounding forest. This forest is a lush rainforest due to the massive amounts of rain the area receives. From short walks to the Around the Mountain Circuit, there are lots of hiking trails for all fitness levels. 
  • Bay of Islands - A pleasant three-hour drive north of Auckland brings visitors to the Bay of Islands. In total, there are 144 islands. In the bay lies what is perhaps the most Instagram-worthy place, the ‘Hole in the Rock’ on Piercy Island. Visitors can take a boat tour to get to the island and on the way, weather permitting sail through the hole made by the sea. 
  • Rotorua - On the shores of the lake of the same name, Rotorua is a major tourist destination. Visitors flock to the town from both within the country and abroad because of the surrounding area’s geothermal activity. This included seeing geysers, dipping in bubbling pools of mud, and thermal hot springs. 17 nearby lakes also provide numerous activities such as fishing, swimming, and boating. 
  • South Island. New Zealand’s South Island is easily accessible thanks to the regular interisland ferry operating between Wellington and Picton. Explore adventure hubs like Wanaka and Queenstown, or explore the amazing natural beauty of Fjordland National Park.

 

While it may be possible in summer, depending on your rental supplier, to take your rental vehicle on a ferry between the North and South Islands, it would be more budget-friendly to book another rental car for the South Island which could be picked up in Picton.

What travel writers say

In my opinion, Auckland is the perfect city in which to start a North Island New Zealand road trip. While I only had the chance to pass through Auckland, there is so much to do in this city and if you have more time, it’s definitely worth a visit. Some of the top things to do in Auckland are getting some panoramic views from atop the Sky Tower, visiting the vineyards on Waiheke Island, and going on a foodie tour (Auckland has a world-class food scene). From Auckland, head on over to the Coromandel Peninsula. There’s a ferry that goes across the harbor twice a week, but driving this route will only take you two and a half hours.

Rotoroa Island is a fantastic wildlife sanctuary and conservation center. Getting here is quite easy as there are ferries and other boat services connecting the island to the mainland. It takes around one hour to get to the island and once you are there you will be rewarded with fantastic nature including beautiful beaches that are totally untouched and very serene. If you are interested in the island’s history make sure not to miss the museum. For travelers enjoying nature, Rotoroa Island is one of the best places to visit near Auckland.

One of the most iconic Auckland attractions is the SkyTower. Standing at nearly 1,100 ft high it can be seen from all around the city and houses some of the best entertainment in the city. The tallest freestanding structure in the Southern Hemisphere, in addition to being a telecommunications tower, is also open to the public to experience great heights. The upper portion of the tower is home to a cafe and the country’s only revolving restaurant ‘Orbit 360 Dining’.

FAQ

How old will my rental car in Auckland be?
As a broker, we do not always have information about the age of rental cars. In New Zealand, rental cars are generally 5-10 years old, though it depends on the rental company. As usual, cheaper rental cars are likely to be older than more expensive ones.
Can I take a rental car from Auckland to the South Island?
Yes, it is possible to take some rental cars on ferries, though many companies do not allow it. Most of those that do not allow it have locations on both sides of the Cook Straight allowing you to leave one car on one side and pick up another on the other. Please check the rental conditions prior to booking. Customers will need advance permission from the rental company to take a car on a ferry. Customers will probably be charged an extra fee for ferry travel and may need to purchase extra insurance as well.
What is the longest period for which I can rent a car in Auckland?
The maximum rental period for each car rental company can be different. generally, car rental companies provide car rentals for a maximum period of 28 days.

We picked up our car in Auckland which was the start of our trip around the North Island. We travelled almost 4000kms, exploring the Northland region, visiting the Bay of Islands, Mangonui, Cape Reinga, Te Paki giant sand dunes, Waipoua Kauri Forest, Hamilton, Raglan, New Plymouth, Wellington, Cape Palliser, Martinborough, Lake Taupō, Rotorua, Napier, Hastings, Tauranga, Whitianga, Coromandel then back to Auckland. We enjoyed so many lovely towns and so many of the activities many places had on offer for us to get to know the area and to experience the culture of the North Island. Highlights included the ferry ride to and wineries tour on Waiheke Island, the Cream Run boat trip around the Bay of Islands, the view from our motel of Mangonui, the walk to Cape Reinga lighthouse, seeing the giant Kauri gums, the sand dunes (a place for great sand- boarding), seeing the Hamilton Gardens, enjoying crayfish in Raglan, the Waitomo glow worm caves, the Wellington Museum, the many Wineries of Martinborough, the wineries around Hastings, the boat trip from Whitianga to see Cathedral Cove, the thermal Pools, the boiling mud and geysers etc etc

We went all over New Zealand, spending 1 week on the North Island and 2 weeks on the South Island. We started in Auckland, drove to Matamata for Hobbiton, Coromandel, Rotorua, Waitomo, National Park Village, then down to Wellington where we took the ferry to Picton. From there we drove down to Kaikoura, Tekapo, Oamaru, Dunedin, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Wanaka, Franz Josef, Marahau (to see Abel Tasman Park), Maruia Hot Springs, Akaroa, and Christchurch. There is SO much to see and do and there weren't any disappointments or things I felt we could've skipped, but I think our favorites were Hobbiton (we did the dinner banquet), Spellbound cave, rafting the Kaituna river, Mitai Maori Village (an absolute must if you're interested in Maori culture!), Kaikoura coastal track (so many seals and cool shells), blue penguin colony in Oamaru (get the vip seats if you can spend a little extra and get there early so you can get a seat right at the front), Milford Sound kayaking, and the Akaroa dolphin cruise (stay in the SiloStays about 45 minutes away, they are SO cool!)

Highlights of our trip was a Bay of Island daytrip, the Waitangi Treaty ground and visiting friends in Kaitaia after a nice walk to the light house at the very top of the North Island.

We landed late at night, stayed near by and walked to the facility. Pick up was painless. As we returned late also, we dropped the vehicle at their partner site. This location was majorly overloaded and a bit confusing to navigate through, Once we could talk to a person, no other issues were experienced. Great value and we will use again. Half to a quarter of the price of other rental agencies. We came to visit family and a new granddaughter, so travel around the countryside will happen on another trip.

Be a confident driver as road signs can be confusing and beware, there are a exceptional amount of "roundabouts", extremely narrow lanes and confusing intersections - not being able to see your lane until you've entered intersection as well as relying/trusting other drivers to obey traffic laws as there are many "blind" spots. On the plus side of driving in Auckland: there are light signals for EVERYONE nobody (including pedestrians) can cross without a green light. I think all states could benefit from not being able to to turn either left of right on a red nor pedestrians crossing while vehicles are in motion.

Auckland is my favorite city. I used to live there ten years ago and really appreciate having a car so that I can explore. Hitch Car Rentals fit my needs very well, highly recommend to others.
