Get on the road with car hire at Auckland Airport
Those looking for a fantastic self-drive holiday should look no further than Auckland, sitting on an isthmus between two harbours and a mountain range.

From here, the highways stretch north and south where all kinds of beautiful landscapes beckon.
Adventures from Auckland
Acar hire from Auckland Airport opens up a world of opportunities in New Zealand’s North Island, and even beyond should you take the car ferry across Cook Strait! Driving in the country is relatively easy, but there are a few points to remember so you can stay safe on your self-drive journey.
Above Auckland is the narrow strip of land known as Northland. Full of small towns, beaches, laid-back locals and outdoor recreation activities, it is a wonderland for holiday makers. The same can be said for the smaller but equally lovely Coromandel Peninsula to the the southeast of the city.
The whole of the North Island is within easy reach from Auckland. Rotorua is a popular destination- it is known for its Maori cultural attractions and fascinating thermal activity which manifests in geysers and boiling mud pools. Coastal city Tauranga is great for those who love beaches with a little urbanity mixed in and inland Matamata is the home of Hobbiton, where you can tour the set of the famous Lord of the Rings movies.
Continue south to find the spectacular Central Plateau with its three peaks- one of which you might recognise as Mount Doom of the aforementioned movie series. In winter, skiers and snowboarders flock to the two skifields here. The Hawkes Bay area is a sunny place with fabulous vineyards, and right at the bottom of the island is the lively capital city, Wellington.

- Brush up on the rules of the road! New Zealand’s police are strict on speeding, drunk driving and other infringements. Stay within the law and drive safely.
- You will quickly notice that New Zealanders drive on the left! Pay attention and take regular, as it is easy to experience lapses in concentration when tired.
- New Zealand’s main highways are well-maintained but the majority are two-laned single carriageways with no barriers. Take care when overtaking.
- Some roads in alpine areas will be closed in winter and adverse conditions. Information about these closures can be found online or in visitor centres nearby.
