Especially for drivers who are not used to driving on the left side of the road, a smaller compact car is recommended, as it makes maneuvering through the lanes and roads in Auckland easier. As road conditions are mostly good in and around Auckland, a 4-wheel drive car is only necessary if you want to venture out into the deeper nature of New Zealand, where country roads can turn into gravel paths.

Despite these regulations, always check the posted signs and adhere to the given speed limit.

Sixt refused to honor my rental. After waiting for some time for a shuttle I called to confirm they would be coming to pickup.
